Do you feel like you overdo it at the holidays? Maybe this looks like overeating, overdrinking, overspending or over-perfectionism. 

Then there’s the big New Year’s course correction or beating ourselves up for our choices. 

What if there’s another way to enjoy the holidays without heaping an extra serving of stress on your plate? (pun intended)

• “Stop thinking about your environment as filled with objects. Start thinking about it as filled with relationships. Think in terms of how you interact with the spaces around you. For one person, her couch is the place where she reads for an hour each night. For someone else, the couch is where he watches television and eats a bowl of ice cream after work. Different people can have different memories—and thus different habits—associated with the same place.” - James Clear, author of “Atomic Habits”

• How the “result” is discovered in the coaching model
• What you can do to see the results in your life

But feelings are a beautiful guidance system, and make life a rich experience!

In this episode, Lisa talks about:

• The feelings associated with stress
• How to allow feelings without overracting
• How feelings are our weather guide
• How feelings are a quick slice to detect thinking
