EOLIA, Mo. — It’s the season of giving, but if you are a person in recovery, there are some gifts you can give yourself to make sure the holidays do not upend your hard work.
Staying present is a great present. The holiday season is a great time to try mindfulness practices. Give yourself the gift of a book or an app that can help you start or deepen your mindfulness practice.
Unwrap a healthy sleep routine. Getting sleep is important for everyone – especially those in recovery.
Grab on to the gift of gratitude. Identify a few things you are grateful for each day. One way to do this would be a gratitude journal.
Give yourself the gift of grace. Avoid unrealistic expectations during the holidays set by either yourself or others. You don’t have to feel like celebrating all the time.
