Can we take a moment to chat about that feeling of overwhelm during the holidays? You know, the one that makes us throw our hands up and say, “I’m so overwhelmed!” Well, guess what? It’s time to reclaim our power and tackle the chaos with a smile. Join me as we explore practical ways to navigate the festive frenzy and beat holiday stress.

Getting Specific with Overwhelm

Feeling like you’re drowning in tasks? Challenge yourself to pinpoint exactly what’s overwhelming you. Is it the gift shopping, the never-ending school emails, or the juggling act between work and kids being home for weeks? Write it down, and let’s break it down together.

Three Strategies to Fight Holiday Overwhelm

  1. Beware of Sensory Overload: The holidays bring lights, noise, and hyperactive sugar-fueled kids – sensory overload central! Take a breather and be aware of your environment. Turn down unnecessary noise, step outside, or sneak in a shower for a moment of stillness. Protect yourself from the sensory overload to keep your cool.
  2. Avoid Decision Fatigue: Too many decisions can lead to holiday burnout. Pre-plan meals, outfits, and other holiday aspects to reduce the daily decision-making load. Prioritize important decisions, and don’t let the small stuff stress you out. Batch similar decisions together for smoother sailing.
  3. Release Your Attachments: Let’s talk mindset! Practice releasing your attachment to how things “should” be. Whether it’s a planned family drive to see lights or a festive pajama night, be flexible. Don’t let expectations ruin the magic of the moment. Keep the main thing the main thing – creating special memories with your loved ones.

Mom, you’re a holiday superhero, and you’ve got this! Navigate the overwhelm, release those attachments, and focus on what truly matters this season. Keep the joy alive, and let’s make this holiday memorable without getting lost in the chaos. Cheers to a season filled with love, laughter, and special moments!
