Once Thanksgiving passes, the emotional aftermath becomes real. The warmth of connection mixed with the weight of exhaustion. Some moments felt comforting, others felt overwhelming, and both reactions are completely natural.
What Your Mind and Body Need Now
This week is your chance to slow down and ask honest questions:
What brought me ease?
What created tension?
What does my body actually need right now?
The answer isn't always a dramatic change.
Often, small resets help the most: sipping a warm drink mindfully, taking a short walk in the cold air, or organizing one small corner at home that brings you calm.
