Setting Boundaries: A Gift to Yourself This Holiday Season

The holidays are a time of connection, but they can also bring stress, overcommitment, and tricky family dynamics. This is where boundaries come in.

At Aruma, we view boundaries as an essential part of mental wellness—a way to protect your energy and prioritize what truly matters.

This quote from Gabor Maté, reminds us that setting boundaries can sometimes come with guilt, but the built up resentment overtime towards others (mostly yourself) for not setting them, can consume your body & mind.

Boundaries are simply limits you can set to help define what you are available for and what you are not (emotionally physically, energetically etc.), ensuring that you honour your needs and values first.

During the holidays, they help us:


✨ Avoid burnout from saying “yes” to everything

✨ Manage emotional triggers in family settings

✨ Protect your time & energy for what truly brings you joy

Navigating these challenges can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. Working with one of our team members can help you identify and communicate your boundaries in a compassionate way, allowing you to embrace the season with balance and peace.

This holiday season, give yourself the gift of self-respect & mental wellness.

Your well-being deserves a place at the table.
