In our Season #1 Finale, we discuss ways to mindfully avoiding the most common Holiday stressors:
➡️ “I can’t get it all done!”
➡️ “I can’t afford this.”
➡️ Holiday expectations vs holiday reality
➡️ “I can’t stand my family!”
➡️ “I’m lonely.”
➡️ “I hate crowds!”
➡️ “I’m exhausted!”
➡️ “I have too many parties.”
We hope that this episode helps you create a mindful and joyful holiday.
When you’re struggling, remind yourself “what are the holidays for?” and take ownership and action towards the holiday you want!
