EnjoyTake Aways-Prioritizing two, one hour sessions of planning is all it takes to have a less stressful Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's.-Believing that the planning will be worth it is key to it happening.-Complete a thought download of all the things you need to think about for the holidays.-Calendar the items that need to be scheduled. (Get them on your phone/planner.)-With the remaining time, write out details for each category not scheduled.-For example, for "food" write down the specialty items that you want to purchase noting for which holiday they'll be consumed.-For a category like gifts, write down the names of those you'd like to buy gifts for.-For cards or newsletters, use this time to choose a family photo to use, choose a card, upload the picture, order it. -When the one hour is up...-Circle the items that haven't been addressed yet.-Follow through...Recognize that when you have told yourself you're going to do something, there will likely be resistance.-Come to expect some resistance and plan for it.-Practice answering the resistant thoughts. (i.e. I recognize I don't "feel like" making cookies today, but I planned to do it today so I'm going to do it today.)-Enjoy...a thought that is helpful in reveling in a moment is, "This is the time for this."-If you have to cancel a party or not attend an event, look at what you have instead. -Thank yourself for setting yourself up for success.Want more support? ❤️Click here to talk with me.
