No Is A Full Sentence: How To Reduce Your Holiday Stress By Saying Yes, Less

We're officially in full holiday swing. What are you saying yes to that stresses you out the most this time of year? When would saying no make you smile? This week, I'm kicking off a mindful holiday series because Lord knows, we all need a little extra love, sanity, and support this time of year. In this episode, we'll talk about resisting your conditioned urge to say 'yes' and deep dive into why saying 'no' could be your biggest holiday miracle. We'll explore why 'yes' is women's automatic default and how saying 'yes' leads to feelings of stress, overwhelm, and tension that negatively impact our minds and bodies- especially during the mad dash of the holiday season. You'll learn about brain science from Harvard Medical School and glean stats on holiday stress from a survey led by The American Psychological Association.I'll offer you a big ass mindset shift around the word 'no' and share three ways you can use 'no' to reduce your stress, tension, and overwhelm this holiday season and make way for more peace, joy, good health, and happiness.  ❤️Loved this?
