The Journaling Room Episode 53: How to Handle Pressure at the Thanksgiving Table
Today we’re talking about something that shows up quietly every November — the pressure at the Thanksgiving table.
Whether you’re a mom juggling everyone’s food preferences and emotions… a college student heading home trying to navigate family dynamics… or an empty nester wondering what to do when the table feels a little too quiet — this episode is for you.
Because no matter your stage of life, there’s one thing we all tend to bring to the table that isn’t on the menu — pressure.
Pressure to make it perfect. Pressure to keep everyone happy. Pressure to be grateful even when things feel complicated.
And today, we’re going to journal through that.
So as you head into Thanksgiving, journal through these three prompts:
- What unspoken rules or expectations am I trying to live up to this Thanksgiving?
- If I could release one pressure, what would it be?
3. What three emotions or experiences do I want to “serve at the table” this year?
