Are you starting to feel the holiday overwhelm kick in this week? Are seasonal things feeling a little too busy, too rushed, too chaotic, and too exhausting to manage? Then, this episode is for you! Dr. Michelle Chung and Risa Williams discuss the concept of "Holiday Mindfulness," which includes intentionally slowing down for the holidays so that we can feel more joy and connection in the present moment. 

They discuss:

-Navigating "Holiday FOMO" that's all around us and what to do about it

-Learning to get into the present moment instead of getting stuck in "holiday planning mode" and stressing ourselves out

-Learning to navigate and regulate our emotions during the holidays

-For families and other groups, how can we more effectively express our needs and our energy levels without causing conflicts for the holidays?

-Tiny mindful moments we can create for ourselves this week!

-Learning to ask yourself ONE SIMPLE QUESTION to figure out what the next best step is for you for the holidays
