The story
The holidays: that “magical” time when your to-do list grows faster than your credit card bill. 😅 Been there, living that!
Remember last year? Running on 3 hours of sleep, saying yes to every party invite, and stress-eating cookies while wrapping presents at 2 AM. [No judgment – we’ve all been that person!]
But plot twist: what if this year was different?
Instead of being everyone’s holiday superhero, let’s try something wild – putting yourself first. Yeah, I said it! It’s not selfish, it’s sanity.
Quick reality check from Chapter 6 of “The Journey”: Empowerment isn’t about doing it all. It’s about choosing what matters to YOU. Mind. Blown. 🤯
Try this:
– Take actual breaks [scrolling doesn’t count!]
– Say “nope” to stuff that drains you
– Move your body [dancing to Mariah Carey counts]
– Help others when YOUR cup is full [local food banks always need love]
Best part? When you take care of you, you’ve got more energy for the good stuff – like actually enjoying those family moments instead of secretly wanting to hide in the bathroom.
BTW, Chapter 6 of “The Journey” breaks this down perfectly. It’s like having a cool friend who tells you exactly what they wish they knew about self-care during crazy times. Trust me, future you will be so grateful.
Your permission slip to prioritize yourself this holiday season = granted. ✨
