When the Holidays Feel Heavy – Holiday Stress Mini Guide (Free PDF)

When everyone else seems merry and bright, but you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or just… off, it can be hard to know where you fit.

When the Holidays Feel Heavy – Holiday Stress Mini Guide is a gentle, faith-rooted companion for the seasons when the calendar is full but your heart feels worn thin. This short PDF is designed to sit quietly beside you—not to “fix” everything, but to give you language, comfort, and small next steps when the holidays don’t match the picture-perfect version you see around you.

Inside this mini guide, you’ll find:

• Honest reflections on holiday stress, grief, expectations, and emotional overload

• Scripture-anchored encouragement that reminds you God sees you as you are right now

• Simple grounding practices to help you breathe, reset, and move gently through hard days

• A closing blessing that sends you into the season with compassion instead of pressure

This isn’t a checklist for a “better” holiday.
It’s a quiet place to exhale, tell the truth about how you’re really doing, and remember you are not carrying this alone.
