Are you happy and/or sad? Depressed and/or panicked? Are you thinking of all the past experiences and memories?
Focus on the positive and keep to your resolve. Take a great memory and dwell on it. Don’t believe the hype, make your presents, have a small gathering, go for a Christmas walk. It is a great time of year, but it has to be great for you, so make it what you want.
Do certain situations trigger you? Stay away and create your own situation, use your coping mechanisms. Feel the actual holiday spirit and make this about you and your loved ones.
Start your own tradition and move forward, this will be a memory to look back on.
