The holidays can be really challenging if you're dealing with family issues or stress. It's important to set boundaries to protect your mental and emotional well-being.
You don’t have to say "yes" to everything or agree to things that make you uncomfortable. If you need time alone or space from family events, that's okay. You can also say "no" without feeling guilty if something doesn't work for you.
You don't need to explain yourself—just stick to your boundaries and do what feels right for you.
Setting Boundaries helps you to:
- Reduce Stress
- Keeps you from feeling overwhelmed
- Helps you to enjoy the holidays in a way that feels safe and healthy.
Enjoy the traditions of a holiday you are looking forward to and leave the rest. You can make your own traditions that aren’t the same as the people around you. Having boundaries is a great step to finding peace during the holidays.
