Your Plan • Your Pace • Your Peace
Morning ladies! Welcome to Day 3 of The Holiday Reset Experiment.
Today we pull everything together: your energy, your home’s flow, your values, and your realistic bandwidth.
This is the day where you shift from reacting to leading with intention — quietly, calmly, confidently.
Before we begin, real talk:
After any big family event, my nervous system feels like it’s been through a blender on “pulse.”
That’s why Day 3 is my favorite — it gives you a plan, not pressure.

1️⃣ Create Your “People-First” Plan
Look at the must-do events, the maybes, and the absolutely-nots.
Circle:
• 2–3 Non-Negotiables (must attend)
• 2–3 Flex Events (nice but optional)
• 1–2 Exits (your escape hatches)
This alone creates instant sanity.

2️⃣ Map Your Holiday Triggers
Grab the Holiday Trigger Map and get honest:
• Who drains you the fastest?
• Which pattern repeats every year?
• What tiny thing pushes you over the edge?
• What situation always leaves you overstimulated?
Name it without judgment — this isn’t blame; it’s clarity.

3️⃣ The 10-Second Holiday Reset Loop
This is the secret skill we’re adding today — a quiet, invisible regroup that no one notices but you will feel immediately.
The 10-Second Reset Loop:
🔹 Notice: “What’s setting me off right now?”
🔹 Name: “Oh… that’s noise / pressure / overstimulation / an old pattern.”
🔹 Navigate: “Pause? Breathe? Redirect? Step away?”
🔹 Choose on purpose: “What aligns with my values, not my knee-jerk reaction?”
A tiny loop that prevents big spirals.

4️⃣ Choose One Tiny Recharge
Pick one you can repeat all week:
• Standing in cold air for 10 seconds
• A hot drink alone
• Shoulder stretch
• Slow exhale
• Sitting in your car before stepping inside
• Five quiet minutes
Micro-resets build macro-peace.

You made it through all three days — and you did it without burning out, over-functioning, or performing perfection for anyone.
You chose leadership over chaos.
That’s what an Operator Mom does.
