The holidays bring a swirl of emotions — the joy of traditions, the sting of nostalgia, and sometimes the stress of just getting through it all. ?? Whether your heart is bursting with gratitude or aching with longing, you’re not alone.
When I was younger, I dreaded the holidays. It felt like an endless parade of family anger and stress, where tension hung heavier than the decorations on the Christmas tree. I spent those years wishing for the season to be over, longing for peace.
But through time, I learned something life-changing: the holidays may never be perfect, but how I choose to navigate them can transform everything. And that choice doesn’t just impact my peace of mind — it shows up in my skin, too. That’s when everything shifted for me.

Managing your emotions during the holidays isn’t just about mental well-being; it’s about protecting your natural glow from the inside out. ?? When you’re happy, your body releases feel-good hormones like oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin, giving you that radiant glow. ? But stress? It floods your system with cortisol, which can chew through collagen and leave your skin looking tired and dull. ??
Here are three ways to nurture your emotional health while safeguarding your skin’s radiance:

The holidays can be bittersweet, and that’s okay. ??? Don’t force happiness if it’s not there. Let yourself feel what you need to, whether it’s joy, sadness, or a mix of both. Journaling or talking with a trusted friend can help process those emotions. ????
?????? ???? ??????????????: Processing emotions reduces cortisol levels, which protects your collagen and keeps your skin from looking tired or pinched.

Family and social gatherings can be overwhelming. Remember, it’s okay to say no. ?? Prioritize your well-being and choose the events that truly matter to you. Recharge with some alone time when needed — a walk, a bubble bath, or even binge-watching your favorite show. ????

If the holidays feel heavy or disconnected from joy, it’s the perfect time to create something new. Cook your favorite meal, volunteer, or start a gratitude jar. ???? New traditions can bring fresh meaning to the season and help you reclaim it on your terms.

2 个月Kellie Olver, what a beautiful post ?? ! Many ? 's to you! I seriously can't function when stress gets the best of me so I work hard to be stress free, and I'm happy it helps my skin! When I did my college internship in a buying office, my buyer was a stress basket and she smoked. She had the dullest skin I'd ever seen. I thought it was only the smoking, but I've learned it was definitely also the stress.
