It’s Simply Life

Episode 133: Eliminate the Gluttony


Listen Later

The holiday season is upon us. It’s a time for laughter, love, and light- so why do we often make it about overindulging? In the past, I was part of the culture of excess around the holidays. I had the perfect decorations, the most aesthetic wrapping papers, and the cutest baked goods gifts for friends and neighbors. I dressed up, hosted parties, over consumed alcohol and food. From the outside, I did everything right. But in reality, I was overindulging in every aspect.

 

In this episode I discuss:

  • Overconsumption during the holidays;
  • Reflecting on past Christmases;
  • Why we feel the need to “keep up”;
  • Presenting a different version of myself to the world;
  • The chaos that ensues around the holidays;
  • How to enjoy holiday traditions without overindulging;
  • Recognizing that Christmas is about “who” and not “what”;
  • The mindset of setting resolutions for New Years
  • We’ve all heard it before, “Christmas is about spending time with loved ones” but are we really able to put that into practice when we have nine million other things to do? For me, simplifying my holidays means not sending Christmas cards, not baking trays of cookies for the entire neighborhood which allowed me to instead fill that time in the company of the people that mean the most to me.

    Happy Holidays everyone!
