Would you like experience less stress this holiday season? Listen in for Heidi's formula for de-stressing the holidays. Then pick out the mindset shifts you need to make to plan, follow through, and enjoy all the holiday happenings.

3 Part Formula
1. Plan
2. Follow Through
3. Enjoy

Take Aways
-Prioritizing two, one hour sessions of planning is all it takes to have a less stressful Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's.
-Believing that the planning will be worth it is key to it happening.
-Complete a thought download of all the things you need to think about for the holidays.
-Calendar the items that need to be scheduled. (Get them on your phone/planner.)
-With the remaining time, write out details for each category not scheduled.
-For example, for "food" write down the specialty items that you want to purchase noting for which holiday they'll be consumed.
-For a category like gifts, write down the names of those you'd like to buy gifts for.
-For cards or newsletters, use this time to choose a family photo to use, choose a card, upload the picture, order it. 
-When the one hour is up...
-Circle the items that haven't been addressed yet.
-Follow through...Recognize that when you have told yourself you're going to do something, there will likely be resistance.
-Come to expect some resistance and plan for it.
-Practice answering the resistant thoughts. (i.e. I recognize I don't "feel like" making cookies today, but I planned to do it today so I'm going to do it today.)
-Enjoy...a thought that is helpful in reveling in a moment is, "This is the time for this."
-If you have to cancel a party or not attend an event, look at what you have instead. 
-Thank yourself for setting yourself up for success.
