It's the first day of December; I am excited and nervous at the same time. For some weird reason, I get uneasy any time the year is coming to an end.
Even though December hosts my favorite holiday of the year, it is difficult to deny what I feel.
Envision writing an examination, and you hear a declaration saying, "Place your pen on the table and leave the class." Announcements like this can make one pass out, particularly when you are not near the end of your work. This can be linked to me in the long stretch of December.
December kind of put me under pressure; it makes me feel like I have to work harder, regardless of past months.
Sincerely, I can't tell if this is just my thing or if it applies to everybody. But I know It is the dread of not having the option to accomplish all I want within the following 30 days.
Try not to misunderstand me; I appreciate the incredible things God brought my direction this year.
Also, I am overly thankful for the things he retracted from me; nonetheless, there is a voice in my mind that keeps making me feel like I have to accomplish more before the new year.
While I was attempting to battle every one of these voices in my mind, I halted for a moment to take a full breath. At this point, I came back to the reality of all I have achieved in this season.
Sometimes, we get lost pursuing what is not lost. We forget our wins almost immediately after gaining them, causing us to negate the wonders and the positive things we have enjoyed.
"Let all that I praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me." - Psalm 103:2
This revelation made me break out in songs of thanksgiving. After all, I have enough good things to be thankful for.

I do remember the time I had exams too but it is far gone in my mind and it never stuck to me that much - If there is something you haven't accomplished just start doing it next year or the year after :)
ReplyDeleteI love this. Holiday Blues is a real thing, and many of us don't even realize it. THanks for shedding light and offering up practical solutions for us all Babes :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome
DeleteI also often feel overwhelmed around the holidays. December is such a fun month, but also a very stressful one.
ReplyDeleteVery true. Thanks for your contribution
DeleteI'm feeling a little underwhelmed this holiday season, not sure why. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!
ReplyDeleteI think this applies to everyone
DeleteChristmas season makes me excited, but the one that gives me anxiety is my birthday instead, my birthday is two weeks before Christmas and getting a year older makes me worry so much, and let me think about things I accomplished this year.
ReplyDeleteI am relate
DeleteI love that you're bringing attention to this. I used to get the holiday blues all the time. Christmas was always the worst. I've noticed that it has gotten better the more involved I get with friends and family.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I wish I have friend.
DeleteChristmas can put people under pressure but you need to focus on the positives. And be nice to yourself.
ReplyDeleteIt can be a stressful season but what I do is I take things one at a time, prioritize and finish what I can finish in a day. We only have 2 hands and 2 feet anyway :-)
ReplyDeleteDecember is my favorite month of the year. aside from being my birth month, Christmas is also my favorite holiday. I always get excited every 1st of December and also a bit sad that the year is coming to an end
ReplyDeleteI don't think I have had holiday blues before, but I do get winter blues. Only thing that helps me is sun and vacation in a tropical place is a must x

I always get this feeling too.
ReplyDeleteMaybe because I always want something new to give kids and loved ones every Christmas or of trying a new dish. Lol.
