During the holidays there are often dozens of additional tasks that need to get done. And even though we want things to run smoothly, what we really desire is to be present. The holidays are a time of laughter, cozy conversations, good food and a warm house but often that need to get it “just right” takes away from our ability to be present. In this two part series I will breakdown the 3 most common things that create imbalance during the holidays and teach you how to overcome each of them with ease.

Topics in this episode:

• Top 3 “needs” that create imbalance during the holidays
• What everyone craves during the holiday season (no, it’s not a food)
• Why perfectionism actually takes away from being present
• How holiday movies steer us wrong and what it takes to create that same warm and cozy holiday movie feel in our own life
• What you need to be thinking about the holidays in order to be satisfied and present
• A 2-part exercise to help you feel balanced during the holidays

Show Notes:
