The holiday season is often one of the busiest times of the year. Between shopping, parties, and family gatherings, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and forget to take care of ourselves. But self-care is essential, especially when the demands of the season start to pile up.

I remember a time when I was so focused on making everything perfect for the holidays that I didn’t realize how drained I was feeling. It wasn’t until after the holidays were over that I recognized the toll it had taken on me. Since then, I’ve learned the importance of finding balance—of celebrating while also making sure I take care of my own needs.

In Her She Squad, we emphasize the importance of self-care, even during busy seasons like the holidays. Taking time to recharge doesn’t mean skipping out on the fun; it means finding ways to care for yourself so you can fully enjoy the celebrations. Whether it’s taking a few moments to meditate, getting enough rest, or setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care will help you avoid holiday burnout.

Think about how you can incorporate self-care into your holiday season. What small actions can you take to stay balanced while still enjoying the festivities? I encourage you to share your self-care strategies in the members-only forum HERE or Facebook group HERE. Let’s support each other in finding balance this holiday season.
