In the Hustle of the Holidays, Don’t Lose Yourself.
The holidays can feel like a sprint: endless to-do lists, packed calendars, and high expectations.
But this season isn’t meant to leave us exhausted—it’s an invitation to slow down and savor connection, joy, and presence.
Here are some ideas to help you nurture internal peace during the holiday hustle:
Pause Before Reacting – When stress starts to rise (as it will), pause and take a slow, deep breath. This tiny moment of mindfulness can keep you grounded and prevent tension from escalating.
Keep Your Non-Negotiables – Whether it’s your morning walk, meditation, or 10 minutes of journaling, protect the habits that anchor you to yourself. They matter now more than ever. (If you do not have a practice, consider finding one thing that feels good for you to do.)
Move Your Body—Holiday overwhelm builds up in the mind and body. A short walk, a stretch, or dancing to your favorite music can help release that tight, frazzled energy. Some of us need a more energetic workout—lifting heavy, running sprints, or a good row. Do what feels right for you and helps you shift back to internal calm with a side of focused energy.
Create Small Moments of Joy – Sip a warm drink without scrolling. Light a candle and watch the flame flicker. Tiny, mindful moments bring calm amid the chaos.
The holidays will come and go. The real gift is staying connected to yourself through it all.
