✨ BOUNDARIES + MINDSET SHIFTS FOR A CALMER HOLIDAY SEASON ✨
The holidays can feel sparkly and magical… and also like a full-sensory attack on your nervous system. Midlife hormones don’t exactly help.
Here are a few small shifts that might make this whole season feel more grounded, present, and actually enjoyable:
1. Give yourself 10 extra minutes in the morning.
Just ten. Before the world needs you, give yourself a moment to land. Lemon water. Coffee. Matcha. Maybe a slow stretch. A few breaths. Journal if it feels good. Try not to scroll — your cortisol does not need Instagram at 6am.
2. Gratitude + clarity.
Grab a pen and jot down 5 things you’re grateful for today. If you want to go deeper, ask yourself: “What would make this holiday better than ever?” Not perfect. Better. Get clear on the joy spots. That clarity becomes your boundary. Honour that.
3. Plan your meals (your future self will kiss you).
Holiday snacks are adorable… until they’re running your life. A few days of constant “little bites” will catch up fast when your insulin and inflammation are already hanging on by a thread. Have nourishing meals ready — especially something big and cozy like a pot of soup you can reheat all week.This isn’t restriction. It’s support. (check out the recipes in the classroom section for some inspiration!)
4. Prioritize movement — intentionally, not intensely.
Bundle up and take a walk. Meet a friend for a class. Throw on a 15-minute YouTube workout. Your body doesn’t need more, it needs something that helps regulate your stress and movement is GOLD for helping with that.
5. Make space for what actually brings you joy.
A Netflix marathon.Your nightly soak. A quiet moment with the tree lit up. A tradition you love. Whatever it is — put it on the calendar like it matters… because it does.
