The holidays are quickly coming up! Thanksgiving is right around, and Christmas isn’t too far behind! When it gets to be this time of year, most of us experience a higher level of stress than we do any other time of the year. Why is that?

On this week’s podcast, Jen and Leah give some helpful points and tips for how to manage that stress, and learn not only to survive but THRIVE during the holiday season!

The key is to slow down and enjoy the season. But that can be difficult to do when you are also trying to bake cookies, send out holiday cards, attend parties, buy gifts….and still continue with the normal day to day things that we have to do. It can be very overwhelming!

The three tips that Jen and Leah have come up with to help you manage this holiday season are:

1. Make the shift from being REACTIVE to PROACTIVE in all areas of your life! Specifically make this shift in the 5 areas of your balanced life palette. a) Health & Emotion  b) Financial  c) Physical Environment  d) Spirituality  e) Relationships

2. Trash those tolerations! When you rid your life of the things you are tolerating (both large and small) you are regaining your power! A toleration is anything that zaps or drains your time, energy and money!

3. Learn that NO is a complete sentence. Are you saying YES to things that you really want to say NO to? Remember, when you say NO to those things that you really don’t want to do, you are actually saying YES to yourself!

These tips are good to remember all year, but especially during the holidays….when we tend to have more on our plates….both literally and figuratively! Happy Thanksgiving!
