134: Preparing for a Stress-Free Holiday Season

I’m already thinking about the end of the year and the upcoming holiday season. I know this year will be different for me, so I’m thinking through what I can do now to ensure that I fully enjoy the holidays without any stress.

In this episode, I share…

• What to do now to prepare for the holidays

• How to prioritize what is important

• Set realistic expectations and boundaries

I’m focused on prioritizing what is important to me. I want to make sure that I do all of the things that mean the most. I’m even creating a holiday bucket list to check off!

I also suggest that you block time on your calendar now that you will want to take off. Be proactive with this so that you can protect your time.

Another thing that is really helpful is to get organized and clean up in your home and business. It is emotionally exhausting trying to find things, so save your energy by organizing everything now.

Above all, give yourself grace and stick to boundaries that feel good to you. Everyone’s life and business is different, so only you know what works best for you.

I hope this helps you prepare for your best holiday season yet!
