DAY 1 — RESET YOUR INNER COMPASS
Mindset + Menu + People-Prep Brain Dump Morning ladies! Welcome to Day 1 of The Holiday Reset Experiment. Today we're setting the tone — not for a “perfect” holiday, but for a sane one. Before we dive in:In full transparency, my pressure points right now are… • two bathroom sinks that suddenly decided to drain like they’re auditioning for a retirement home • a back porch mid–construction–tear-down• and yes… our home is the host house this year So if your house isn’t photo-ready either — congratulations, you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be. 🔹 Your Day 1 Steps 1. The People-Prep Brain DumpTake 5–10 minutes and unload everything swirling in your head about the holidays — the people dynamics, the worries, the “oh-no-not-this-again” moments you feel brewing.Get it all out. Zero filters. 2. Choose Your IntentionPick ONE feeling you want to anchor yourself to this season:calm, connection, steadiness, lightness, patience, etc.This becomes your compass for the rest of the experiment. 3. Simplify Today’s MenuDon’t start this week drained.Pick the easiest version of meals today — leftovers, crockpot, freezer stash — whatever frees up mental bandwidth. 🔹 Share With the Group (Optional but encouraged) Drop ONE of these in the comments:• Your intention word• A funny or painfully honest line from your brain dump• The easiest meal you’re choosing today We’re starting the holidays with clarity, humor, and a commitment to not run ourselves into the ground this year. We’re doing December differently — together.
