Today we share helpful lessons to help you navigate family gatherings with less stress.

Are you feeling a bit of anxiety and/or nervous anticipatory energy, maybe even unease, or dread? 

Are there potential or recurrent disagreements or points of contention that often arise when spending time with loved ones? 

Do you sometimes feel like an outsider or disconnected at family gatherings? 

Are holidays much better now than they ever have been?

Are you often still somewhat disappointed after family gatherings?

 

We encourage you to allow whatever feelings arise including potentially disappointment, disconnection, and a sense of not belonging.

 

What may make it harder for you to enjoy holiday gatherings?

 

High expectations, manuals, compare and despair, generally being givers and not receivers, and challenges having fun and relaxing.

 

Listen to hear about the practices of intention setting, making generous assumptions, looking for how they are just like you.  

 

In this episode, we share many other mindful mindset practices to help you focus on fun, joy, connection and ease. We also discuss what may get in your way on your journey.
