63. 5 Practices to soothe holiday stress

This November has brought us major emotional upheaval with the election results on top of what we’ve already been dealing with and the holidays coming around the corner. 

If you're like many of us, the holidays can be a stressful time. Family dynamics, obligations to attend events, the absence of loved ones, and financial or emotional strain can all add layers of complexity to what is meant to be a joyful season. 

If you’ve been feeling this way, I want to offer you five simple practices to help soothe your holiday stress:

1) View food as neutral 

2) Honor your boundaries and give yourself space 

3) Make conscious decisions 

4) Offer yourself grace, compassion, and LovingKindness abundance 

5) Do something soothing every day

…All with an emphasis on the importance of self-compassion, flexibility, and mindful energy expenditure.
