Navigating Taking Care of You Over the Holidays

​With the Holidays just around the corner and Christmas in less than two weeks away, many feel the crunch and pressure of this time of year. It is important to take care of yourself and to not attempt to do it all yourself. Here are four considerations below:

1.  Delegate: It is important that everyone pitches in to help. If you are hosting dinners or parties over the holidays don’t be shy to ask people to bring things or help with tidy up, even if they do not offer.
2. Ask for Help: This can be a hard one for some, as the preferred root is to do it their way so it is done “right”. Most people who do it all themselves end up resentful, worn down and more stressed. Remember you deserve an enjoyable holiday season too!
3. Less is More: It can be very tempting at this time of the year to want to cram so many things in, sometimes “FoMo” is at play here. If your goal is to have lasting memories with your kids, your friends or your family, remember it is the feeling that makes the memory powerful, and if there is rushing or stress the experience may be there but the potent feeling of enjoyment may be absent.
4. Respect your Boundaries: Honour yourself by respecting your limits even if they conflict with other peoples needs. When we do not respect our boundaries we abandon a part of our self in the process.
