Finding Joy in Imperfection

mindfulness relationships spirituality

The holidays can be tough—loneliness, stress, and unmet expectations often steal the spotlight. But what if we focused on virtues like courage, kindness, and faith instead? Research from Sonja Lyubomirsky shows that small acts of kindness, self-compassion, and trusting the process of growth can help us rediscover joy. This season, let’s shift the goal from “perfect” to meaningful.  Remember: it’s not about escaping discomfort but embracing it with grace. Show up as you are, give what you can, and trust in life’s unfolding. You’ve got this.
