It’s a season when increasing intensity in your outer world can have you feeling increasing intensity in your inner world, and you can quickly become overstimulated and overwhelmed. How do you create a calm and spacious Christmas without saying ’No’ to everything? It starts with being really kind to yourself and your nervous system, so let us walk you through it.

In this episode we discuss:

• Recognising your limits and your needs
• Knowing your capacity and how to support yourself during your day
• Being quieter, gentler and softer with yourself
• Recognising what social boundaries you need so you don’t feel wiped out and resentful
• Holding a level of attunement to your kids social batteries
• Knowing how to navigate your day so that everyone’s social batteries are included
• Recognising the ‘not in your body, sped up’ feeling
• Having foresight that creates your calm
• Flexible and nourishing schedules
• Literacy of the needs of the family unit
• Let go the Hallmark ‘perfect family’ together at Christmas events
• Say ‘Yes’ to lightness
• The temptation to say yes to a lot of things, but being aware of your stimulation set point
