066: How to Avoid the Holiday Downward Spiral & Cultivate an Intentional Season Instead

Instead of getting stuck in the holiday spiral this year, use this time to ditch perfection, comparison, and overwhelm. The end of the year is a great opportunity to start making some changes, so that when the new year comes you don’t feel like you have to start over.

In this episode, we talk about the different ways the downward holiday spiral comes up in self-talk, we compare two versions of the same holiday weekend, one in the downward spiral and one that is more intentional and incremental, and we talk about specific tactics to use to approach this holiday season intentionally and incrementally.

1 | Getting intentional

Create a holiday splurge list Create a holiday to-do + to-don’t list

2 | Getting incremental

Manage the 3 M’s Aiming for 2 out of 3 in a season of indulgence Give yourself reset days
