Splurge on a small treat for yourself. If money is tight, it can be practical, so long as it feels like a reward. New shoes, food you only indulge in occasionally, art supplies…
If money is tight, take items you know you’ll need and wrap them up so they feel special during this season. Find a way to treat yourself, even if it’s something tiny.
Buy tickets for yourself (and a friend?) and attend a local entertainment event, especially if it’s a benefit for a cause you value! Musicians, spoken word poets, theater—joy is resistance!
