The holidays are supposed to feel joyful but for a lot of people they feel overwhelming, expensive, emotional, and nonstop.
If youâve been feeling snappy, tired, numb, or secretly counting the days until itâs over, thatâs not you being ungrateful, itâs holiday burnout. It happens when expectations exceed capacity. Thereâs simply too many plans, too much pressure, and not enough rest during a season specifically designed for rest.
Youâre not a Grinch trying to rob the Whos of their joy, despite what your over festive grandmother says.
So, when the holidays start draining you, what actually helps? đ
A lot of us grow up thinking âpurposeâ is this dramatic, movie-moment revelation. Like one day you wake up, stare into the sunrise, and just know what your life is about.
Well, thatâs not how it works. Even for YouTubers.
Purpose is usually quiet. It shows up in small interests, random curiosities, tiny moments where something lights you up for no reason. But, because itâs subtle, we assume itâs not âbig enoughâ to be the driving force in our lives. The thing that gives us value.
Hereâs the deal: Purpose isnât found. Itâs formed. It grows when you follow what feels meaningful, even if it seems small, even if it changes, even if you donât have it all figured out.
Psychology backs this up: the strongest sense of purpose comes from combining three simple things: what interests you, what you get better at over time, and what makes someone elseâs life a little easier or brighter.
Thatâs it. No thunderbolt required.
So when life feels directionless, or youâre questioning what youâre âsupposedâ to be doing, try this question:
What helps you reconnect with yourself when you feel unsure about your life? đ
If saying no makes you feel guilty, if youâre scared people will get upset when you set limits, or if you keep stretching yourself thin just to keep the peace, hear thisâŚ
Youâre not too sensitive and youâre not selfish, youâre finally ready for boundaries.
A boundary isnât a wall; itâs a doorway. You decide what enters your life and what doesnât. Thatâs self-respect.
So when someone starts pulling from your energy like itâs endless, which of these would help you protect your peace? đ
