Holiday Burnout: Design Your Own Festive Joy Instead

This holiday season, let’s flip the script on tradition and focus on what truly matters – you. While everyone’s busy with the usual holiday rush, why not take a moment to think about what actually brings you joy?
Chapter 7 of “The Journey – I wish I knew this before I was 21” shows us something powerful: real empowerment starts when you choose your own path. Maybe that means trading the formal family dinner for a casual pizza night with friends. Or swapping endless gift shopping for a day of self-care.
Think about it – are your holiday traditions serving you, or are you serving them? This is your chance to create new ones that actually fit who you are now. Start small. Maybe it’s a morning meditation before the chaos, or setting aside “me time” between celebrations.
The end of the year is the perfect time to reflect on what worked and what didn’t. What if instead of pushing through holiday stress, you listened to what you need? Whether that’s saying no to some invites or spending a quiet evening with your favorite book – it’s all valid.
Remember, empowerment isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about making choices that align with your values and well-being. This season, give yourself permission to prioritize your growth and peace of mind. Sometimes the best traditions are the ones you create for yourself.
