287: 4 Steps To Protect Your Energy Over The Holidays

I recently polled our Shameless Mom #everydamnday Facebook group, asking what you all needed help with right now. I got over a tons of responses and many of those responses had a lot of likes – letting me know that a lot of you are facing the same obstacles. But the most liked response was, “How to protect energy and boundaries so you still have joy during the holidays.”  This response was the most liked comment by a landslide. Here’s the deal about the holidays – you have every right to create the experience you want.  You have every right to say NO.  You have every right to create space to rest.  You have every right to create more joy and less stress. You have every right to make it all about you and your immediate family and not about a million other people.  You have every right to unapologetically set boundaries, protect your energy, and enjoy the heck out of yourself. Here are 4 ways to protect your energy and build better boundaries so your next month can be more of a fairy tale and less of a nightmare. I’m going to dive into how to make space for the things and people you love, how to prioritize things that bring you joy, and how to actually RELAX over the holidays. Sound good?!?
