Aaah, the holidays... a magical time of gathering with loved ones and celebrating our blessings. That is, ideally!
For many people, the holidays can be a lot more stressful, draining, or anxiety-inducing than the picture-perfect image of a loving family gathered around a fancy table. The holidays - whichever ones you choose to celebrate - can bring up mixed emotions or fill you with anticipatory dread, worry, and stress.
In this special holiday edition of TRIGGERED!, I talk about:
- the importance of breaking with old traditions that feel draining, confining, or dysfunctional
- creating your own traditions that feel more aligned and peaceful
- reinforcing boundaries with family members during the holidays
- liberating yourself from burdensome family expectations and using the holidays as an opportunity to practice saying NO
- ways to protect yourself energetically & physically if you choose to gather with family
You might find this resource helpful if you do get triggered at some point during the holidays. I created a guide on 10 Ways to Get Untriggered Quickly, which you can download here:
