The holidays can a joyous time because it’s fun to spend time celebrating with friends, family, or that special someone. While some are looking forward to the holiday’s, others may not because it can be a stressful period. People stress about money, family, feeling lonely, feeling exhausted, and more. People have a right to feel stressed about the holidays because it’s an extremely busy and demanding time of the year.

You can print out these quotes and place them throughout your house, so every time you see them it reminds you to breathe and remain calm.
