Christmas Eve is nearly here, and for many of us, the holiday season carries a mixed bag of emotions.

Protecting your mental and emotional well-being is your job, especially when the chaos is screaming for your attention. That means knowing when to pause, when to say no, and how to carve out quiet space for your mind and soul.
This isn’t just feel-good fluff. Jesus said it clearly: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you” (John 14:27). This is an invitation to tap into a calm deeper than your circumstances—a peace that exists even when everything around you feels out of control.
Meet Rachel. Last Christmas, she was overwhelmed by nonstop family demands. She made one simple but powerful choice: she said no to a draining event and spent that night journaling and praying, grounding herself in gratitude. The result? She showed up the next day refreshed, less reactive, and fully present—a rare gift in the holiday madness.
You don’t have to accept holiday exhaustion or social burnout as your default. So, build in these mental rest points throughout your day.
The K.I.S.S. ~ Build in mental rest points!
Think about what you have been doing up until today. What has worked and what hasn't?
Here are three mental health moves you can make now:
-
Practice daily gratitude. Write three things you’re thankful for each morning to shift focus from stress to abundance.
-
Create a tech detox window. Even 30 minutes unplugged daily can quiet the noise and recharge your brain.
-
Set clear boundaries. It’s okay to say no. Protect your peace by limiting social events or demanding conversations.
When you build these mental rest points into your holiday calendar, you don’t just survive December—you claim it as a season of peace and joy.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
