155. Mindset Reset: Choosing Calm Over Chaos: How to Manage Holiday Stress with Intention


Listen Later

Hi Mamas,

The holidays can be a whirlwind, but stress doesn’t have to control your experience. Today we’re talking about our responses to life’s curveballs, especially during the busy holiday season. Learn practical tips to pause, breathe, and respond intentionally so you can enjoy more joy and less chaos as we unpack this quote by Maureen Kiloran: "Stress is not what happens to us. It is our response to what happens. And response is something we can choose."  Plus, I’m sharing my favorite ways to turn stressful moments into opportunities for connection, calm, and even a little fun (hint: it involves a good game of 20 Questions!).

💖My challenge for you this week mamas is…. practice the art of choosing your response.

  1. Each time something stressful happens, take a pause.
  2. Ask yourself: Is this worth my energy? How can I respond in a way that serves me?
  3. Keep a small notebook or use the notes app on your phone to jot down one time each day when you paused and responded intentionally instead of reacting.
  4.  

    I'd love to hear how you managed your stress this week… head on over to our Facebook community Work-Life Balance For Working Moms and tell us all about it and you can help inspire other moms, just like you. If you don't already follow the show, take a second and hit that follow button.
