For most people Christmas is a time of happiness and joy, but we also know that the holiday season can be very difficult for some people. Whether it’s financial or relationship stress, dealing with the memories of a lost friend or relative, or just the stress of all the planning and organizing that goes into Christmas celebrations, Christmas can be hard.
If you’re finding Christmas hard this year, or even if you just want to make sure that you get the most out of this celebratory event, these positive affirmations for Christmas are perfect for you.
While most people are happy to stop and give thanks around thanksgiving, it’s a practice often forgotten by the time Christmas rolls around. These affirmations for Christmas will not only add more joy and positivity to your event, they’ll also remind you to reflect and feel grateful for all that you have.
How To Use Christmas Affirmations
Like any other positive affirmations, simply choose a few of the affirmations below that truly resonate with you and how you are feeling (or how you would like to be feeling). Then practice these affirmations daily, preferably at least twice a day, in the lead up to Christmas.
You can practice your affirmations by:
- Saying them out loud
- Saying them in your head
- Writing them out repeatedly, or
- Recording to them and listening to them over and over again.
Repetition is key if you’re trying to make changes in your brain and/or the way you are feeling, so practice your affirmations often and repeat each affirmation 10-15 times (like a mantra) each time you ‘practice’.
Hopefully your Christmas affirmations will leave you feeling more positive and excited about this annual celebration as well as calm, stress free and grateful.
