Escape Holiday Stress With These Life-Changing Boundaries

The holidays hit different when you’re juggling work, expectations, and that voice in your head saying you should be doing more. Sound familiar?
Here’s your permission slip to do the holidays differently:
Feel stressed? That’s normal. Skip the fake “I’m fine” and own those feelings. They’re valid.
Burned out from too many “yes” moments? Set those boundaries. That work party you’re dreading? Maybe it’s time for a quiet night in instead. Your energy matters.
And if those old traditions just aren’t hitting right anymore, create your own vibe. Maybe it’s a chill game night with friends or a solo evening with your thoughts and favorite takeout.
This season isn’t about perfection – it’s about growing into who you really are. Think of it as your end-of-year reset button.
Want to dig deeper? Chapter 7 of “The Journey – I wish I knew this before I was 21” breaks down how to build better habits and ditch the patterns that aren’t serving you anymore. Because the best gift you can give yourself? Learning to trust your own path.
This holiday season, put yourself first. Not in a selfish way, but in an “I’m finally learning who I am and what I need” way. That’s real empowerment.
