What's up Prosper fam!? 👋
Now that Thanksgiving is over, it's officially Christmas season! This is such an exciting time of year, but financial stress is a common feeling. Prosper is here to help guide you with resources and tips to handle December with ease. Finances during the holidays are a difficult obstacle to navigate. The stress financial worries bring can negatively impact your mental and physical well-being, sleep patterns, and energy levels. There are ways to mitigate this stress so we created a list of tips to help get you through this holiday season!
Make a spending budget - Creating a spending plan for the holiday season is a great way to not overspend and manage stress. Create a list of your gift expenses, as well as money you want to allocate for food, travel, parties, etc. With a budget you will feel more in control of your spending this holiday season.
Get Creative with Homemade Gifts - Making a gift at home can sometimes be more meaningful than store-bought gifts. Plus, they are a more budget-friendly way to show your love and appreciation. Here are a few ideas:
If you like to create art, think about painting for your loved ones. You can frame it and it can be used as beautiful decor
Express your gratitude and love with a heartfelt note. It's a timeless gift that anyone would appreciate
Baking for someone is a yummy gift that anyone would enjoy
You can create a picture book with fun memories your loved ones will cherish forever
Prioritize Self-Care - When you feel stressed and anxious, take a step back and do something to help your mental-well being. This can be meditating, taking a bath, practicing mindful breathing, or reading your favorite book. Give yourself permission to prioritize your mental and emotional health, even during the busiest times.
It's okay to say no! - Don't feel obligated to attend every holiday party. If you are feeling stressed financially and it is impacting your mental health, put yourself first. Prosper Guided Journal - The new Prosper journal prompts can help you reflect on your thoughts and emotions. Use the stress and anxiety guided journal to help ground your anxious thoughts when you are dealing with financial worries. This can help shift your mindset and find ways to move forward amidst tough times.
The holidays should be a time to spend with loved ones and feel joy, and not be overwhelmed with stress. Remember, it's okay to set boundaries and prioritize your mental health. Prosper is here for you every step of the way with guided journal prompts and self-care reminders. Let's make this holiday season filled with mindfulness and balance, you got this!
