Less Performing, People-Pleasing, Perfectionism // More Joy Over the Holidays

In theory at least, the holiday season is about gratitude, connection/community, a focus on what's truly most important. The reality for many, however, is an increase in stress, anxiety and depression.I don't know what all is going on in your life, of course, but perhaps there are ways you can lower your stress through less performing, people-pleasing, and perfectionism while amping up your joy or wellbeing.Next week the focus is on holding space for both joy and pain over the holidays.SHOW NOTESIf less performing and more joy this holiday season sounds welcome, then I invite you to spend time reflecting on the questions I share in this episode. They are not magic .... just a simple invitation to get honest about the reality of your capacity in this season, the traditions that truly fill you up, and 'permission' to question and/or edit or release the rest.Support the podcast: https://buymeacoffee.com/alifeinprogressLINKS/REFERENCESBetween Nov 20 - Dec 01, Sign up for the free Simplify + Recalibrate: Join The 5-Day Challenge! | A Life In Progress (runs Dec 4-8).
