The Top 5 Ways to Prepare to Have a Relaxing & Replenishing Holiday Season

I know, many of you don't want to hear it, 

but the holidays are upon us. 

It's time to take control of your plans so 

they don't take control of you.

1. Plan Ahead:

Take some time before the holiday season (like right now) and begin to plan your activities, whether it's scheduling family gatherings, setting a budget for gifts, or organizing travel plans. Having a well-thought-out plan can reduce stress and help you manage your time effectively.

2. Practice Self-Care:

Amidst the holiday rush, don't forget to prioritize self-care. Set aside time for activities that relax and rejuvenate you, such as reading, taking long baths, practicing yoga, or simply spending time alone. Self-care is essential for maintaining your well-being during the holiday season.

3. Delegate and Seek Help:

Don't hesitate to delegate tasks and responsibilities. Whether it's sharing cooking duties, asking for help with decorations, or hiring services for cleaning or childcare, sharing the workload can relieve stress and allow you to enjoy the holiday season more fully.

4. Set Realistic Expectations:

It's easy to get caught up in the idea of a perfect holiday. However, it's important to set realistic expectations for yourself. Understand that not everything needs to be flawless, and it's okay to ask for help or simplify traditions if it reduces your stress levels.

5. Disconnect and Unplug:

Give yourself the gift of digital detox. Set boundaries for screen time and social media, especially during family gatherings and special moments. Being present in the moment without distractions can enhance your enjoyment of the holiday season.

Remember, everyone's idea of a relaxing holiday is different, so it's essential to identify what truly brings you joy 

and make those activities a priority.
