Even though it’s marketed as the most wonderful time of the year, for so many of us, the month of December comes with a lot of added stress and difficult emotions. In this episode, we discuss what the ‘holiday blues’ are, how to navigate those feelings, and ways to support yourself when facing holiday-related pressure.
We talk about how to avoid getting swept up in consumerism and share ideas for thoughtful gifts that are budget-friendly. We also chat about healthy ways to deal with challenging family dynamics and uphold your boundaries.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Factors that can trigger holiday blues, including added fatigue and unrealistic expectations
- What you can do if you’re experiencing financial stress during the holiday season
- Ideas for simple, heartfelt crafts and baked goods
- Tips for protecting your peace when you’re in a triggering environment
- Why it’s so important to stick to your normal routine during this busy time of year
