On Boundaries and Self-Care During The Holidays

I love this time of the year. This new video from Ben Rector captures the spirit of Thanksgiving so well.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. It can also be the most stressful time.
I did this Facebook Live a few years ago on boundaries and self-care.
It’s especially for moms, perfectionists, and introverts.

One of the things I shared was giving yourself permission to be different instead of doing things the way they’ve always been.
I also said, “The most important thing isn’t what you put on the table, it’s being together.”
It’s hard this year because we can’t get together in the same ways as we have in the past.
But I still hope these videos will encourage you and that you make the most of what the holidays will look like for you this year.

One of the best things about self-care

One of the best things about self-care is taking the time when it seems like you don’t have the time helps you realize you do.
You do when you make the right choices about what’s most important.
And not waiting until you have permission, giving it to yourself, is a great way of breaking free of feeling so out of control or controlled by circumstances and the expectations of others.
