In a perfect world, Christmas is a happy, joyous time of the year filled with friends, family, excitement, and the gift of giving. If that’s true for you, awesome! But not everyone has such positive memories and experiences associated with the holiday season. For some people, Christmas isn’t always so merry and bright.

You might be going through some challenges this time of year. You might not have the best relationship with your family. You might feel overwhelmed with all the spending, planning, and other chaos going on. It’s okay if Christmas isn’t your thing, or if it brings up uncomfortable memories. That’s what these Christmas affirmations are meant to help you through.

You might need a little extra self care this time of year, and that is perfectly fine. Listen to yourself and your needs. If you could use some self-support this holiday season, give these Christmas affirmations a try!

How to Use Affirmations Effectively?

In case you’re new to affirmations, affirmations are statements that reinforce positive thinking. They can help re-train your brain to make a shift toward positive self-talk instead of negative self talk.

To use affirmations effectively, repetition is key. The more you practice speaking or writing positive affirmations, the more they become second nature and truly make an impact on your thought patterns. Christmas is a great opportunity to start the habit, so allow these Christmas affirmations to help you get started!

Why Use Christmas Affirmations During the Holidays?

The holidays can be a stressful, hectic time. They are also a time where you’re spending more hours than usual around your family, and (let’s be honest) that isn’t always an equally good experience for everyone.

Affirmations have been shown to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and promote positive coping skills. All benefits you could probably use during this busy time of year! It isn’t easy to have a positive mindset when everything around you is stress-inducing. But doing what you can to lessen the impact of stress can make a difference.
