Here’s how to keep your head in the game, stay confident and smile — genuinely — in the midst of holiday season celebration overload.

  1. More celebration begets more celebration.

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.” — Oprah Winfrey

2. Celebrate yourself in others.

“How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!” — Maya Angelou

3. Proclaim your choice to celebrate yourself.

“You can be a thousand different women. It’s your choice which one you want to be. It’s about freedom and sovereignty. You celebrate who you are. You say, ‘This is my kingdom.’” — Salma Hayek

4. Celebrate yourself in song.

“I celebrate myself, and sing myself.” — Walt Whitman

5. Make the hard choice to celebrate yourself instead of tearing yourself (or others) down.

“It’s so much easier to complain about something than celebrate it.” — Megan Hilty

6. Celebrate your whole self — the good and the bad.

“I embrace the imperfections and celebrate them.” — Kesha

7. Switch to a positive mindset — it’s only a funky dance move away.

“Instead of hate, celebrate.” — Prince

8. Don’t stay too long at the self-celebration party.

“You celebrate for a brief moment, then you move on.” — Abby Wambach

9. Even struggle is celebration-worthy.

“Life has meaning only in the struggle. Triumph or defeat is in the hands of the Gods. So let us celebrate the struggle!” — Stevie Wonder

10. Celebrate your dreams.

“Dream on it. Let your mind take you to places you would like to go, and then think about it and plan it and celebrate the possibilities. And don’t listen to anyone who doesn’t know how to dream.” — Liza Minnelli

11. Celebrate yourself with a new position at a company that values diversity and inclusion.

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” — Steve Jobs
