How A Vision Board Saved My Holiday Season [fiction]

Summary
Overwhelmed by holiday chaos, Jules ditched the usual madness for a vision board, discovering a path to genuine joy. Learn how she turned holiday stress into intentional bliss.
The Story
The holiday chaos hit different this year. Picture this: Jules, drowning in group chats about Secret Santa, staring at Mount Gift-Wrap on her coffee table, and watching her to-do list grow faster than her aunt’s holiday drama.
Then she did something wild. Instead of RSVPing to another “mandatory fun” holiday party, she grabbed some old magazines and made a vision board. Yeah, seriously.
She cut out pics of everything that screamed “actual holiday joy” to her. Quiet mornings. Hot coffee. Zero notifications. Words like “peace” and “nap before dinner” \(because why not?\). Everything she really wanted – not what Instagram said she should want.
Something clicked. That vision board became her personal bouncer, helping her say “nah” to energy-draining plans and “hell yes” to what actually mattered. No more FOMO. No more saying yes to every cookie exchange. Just… peace.
Fun fact: This whole vibe check? It’s straight from Chapter 6 of “The Journey – I Wish I Knew This Before I Was 21.” There’s this wild section about protecting your energy and living life on your terms. \(Psst… it’s basically your permission slip to skip that awkward office party.\)
So this December, maybe it’s time to pull a Jules. Grab some magazines, scissors, and your favorite holiday drink. Create your own vision of what matters. Because the best gift you can give yourself? It’s not at the mall – it’s the power to choose your own adventure.
Your turn. What’s making it onto your vision board? 🎄✨
