Alright Rebels… Christmas is over, the wrapping paper is in the trash, and suddenly the adrenaline dropped and the feelings showed up uninvited.
If you’re feeling:
- relieved but also weirdly sad
- socially hungover
- emotionally wrung out
- overstimulated and under-rested
- or like you need a full system reboot
Congrats. This is the after part no one warns you about.
Here’s your permission slip:
You don’t have to jump back into productivity mode just because the calendar flipped. There is no prize for “bouncing back” the fastest.
So check in with yourself:
👉 What do you need to recover from the holidays — physically, emotionally, or creatively?
Maybe it’s rest. Maybe it’s routine. Maybe it’s silence. Maybe it’s throwing out one last decoration like a symbolic mic drop.
Share if you want. Lurk if you need.
This is a rebellion, not a performance.
Be gentle with your nervous system.
It’s been through a lot. ⚡️🖤
