81: LESS IS MORE: The Answer To Your Ideal Holiday

Doing less is often harder than doing more.

Do you see the holidays fast approaching and start to hyperventilate? Are you exhausted just thinking about all the "extra" that is the holiday season? We have conditioned ourselves to believing that if we are not exhausted, overdrawn, overextended, and going out of our minds to make everything PERFECT, then we are failing as a mom.

STOP! The answer to having a memorable holiday season of more hugs, more smiles, more memories, and more gratitude, is to do less. Yes...less.

If you can't even imagine a restful holiday, then this is the episode for you.

Today on the Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I share a simple exercise to reevaluate your family holiday traditions and "right size" them to what matters most to you and those you love:

• We will start by looking at holidays of the past and where they went awry
• We will inventory all that goes into your holidays
• We will find you why
• And then we will conceive of a new way of doing each aspect that requires less time, but results in more of what matters!

Gone are the days of more is more is more for the holidays. What our families want is more of US. More of our time, attention and presence, not presents. So listen in to see how you can deliver!
