If you’re spending the holidays alone, chances are….
… there’s a weeee bit ‘o chance that you’re not looking forward to it whatsoever.
But that doesn’t mean you have to be miserable the entire time (unless you give yourself permission for a pity party. That’s a great way to get out negative emotions and I’ve done them myself – pick up your fav foods or activities and imagine you’re taking every single one of your miserable sad thoughts, packing them into a suitcase, and then when you’re done, chucking said suitcase into the face of whomever makes you sad, and then skipping merrily off into the sunset laughing hysterically. Try it, it works).
So, if you have to face this weekend alone, consider doing the following.
1.) Lift the spirit of others. Post happy memes for your friends – when you make others happy, it has a habit of creeping up on you as well.
2.) Visit hospitals, shelters, etc. and give random gifts to the people there. Dollar stores have great deals (heck, most store this day do) and you can either wrap them or just give them in a brown paper bag. It’s not the presentation that matters, it’s the spirit behind it.
3.) If you have a pet, lavish extra treats and watch movies with him/her.
4.) Buy yourself something you’ve always wanted but never gave yourself permission to own.
5.) Write a letter to yourself. Spill out all the reasons why you’re alone this week, what led up to it, why it’s so unfair, and how you want 2023 to be.
In other words….
… Treat yourself like the magnificent person you are. You do NOT *need* others to exist….
… you are perfectly magnificent as you are. Give yourself permission to *validate you*.
Let go of all the negatives that have happened this year and last year and the year before that…. all the way up to several decades/centuries if required….
… and honor *yourself*.
You deserve that today and tomorrow and *always*.
Enjoy!
