Say Goodbye To Holiday Stress!
Give yourself the gift of sanity this season. Learn how to stop the overwhelm so you can truly relax and enjoy the holidays with your free….
The holidays can be a wonderful time to connect with family and friends, enjoy traditions, indulge in treats, and practice gratitude for all we have. But too often the holidays are accompanied by a high level of stress, resentment over all there is to do and exhaustion.
The cause of this messy mix is easy to identify – the holidays come with incredibly high expectations. The ‘shoulds’ surrounding us can be downright overwhelming.
We should decorate to the nines.
We should choose absolutely perfect gifts for everyone.
We should bake, bake, bake, and bake some more.
We should cheerfully volunteer our time.
We should create memories that will be talked about for generations to come.
We should fix gourmet meals worthy of magazine cover shoots.
We should throw parties where we play the role of the perfect hostess.
We should welcome house guests as if we were the Holiday Inn (pardon the pun).
We should string popcorn, sing carols, and be gracious to a fault.
We should visit our families, even if it means traveling for hours with cranky kids in tow.
We should digitally capture all the Norman Rockwell moments (don’t forget, we should be creating these moments with ease), so we’ll always remember how great the holidays were.
I am betting all these ‘shoulds’ sound familiar. Here is another should – they should sound ridiculous, because they are. They’re unreasonable, joy robbing, peace stealing, stress inducing, anxiety causing poppycock. With so many absurd expectations, managing holiday stress could be a full time job (and all too often it becomes just that!).
It’s time to get real. Let’s toss these energy sucking expectations in the rubbish bin.
Imagine what it would be like if you replaced all the ‘shoulds’ with things that you actually want, and I mean really, truly want to do. Imagine focusing on the things that have deep meaning and bring you authentic joy. Sounds fantastic, right?
