21 AFFIRMATIONS FOR A HAPPY HOLIDAY


My home is a happy place to be during the holidays. I will find the beauty in every simple moment today and I will neutralize anything that my brain wants to dramatize with emotion.Throughout the holidays, I am centered, calm and balanced. I release my expectations of others and I choose to just love them.I give love no matter what I get back.Delays and changes of plans are an opportunity to reflect, give things and create new possibilities.It's okay to delete some things from my to-do list.I value taking time to recharge my batteries and priorities my self-care.Who I am is enough.I feel the love of the season, the joy of the season and the peace of the season. I am loved for more than the gifts I give.I'm focused on what Christmas means to me instead of what it means to the world.I refuse to allow guilt to be part of my Christmas season.When I make Christmas about sharing rather than getting, I always feel better.Today I am breathing in the light and love of the season and sharing it with everyone I meet.My mind is filled with hope. My heart is filled with joy. The sights, sounds, joy and smells of the season fill me with sweet goodness. All that matters is that I show up as myself and with love.I create the amount of peace I experience this season by the thoughts I intentionally think. My holiday memories are entirely within my control and I diligently make the time to think and savor my thoughts.I love helping other people in the holidays and I always have time to make a difference. Traffic jams and inconvenient things around the holidays give me more time to do affirmations and to be with my thoughts.
