The holidays are magical, unless you’re a mom who’s juggling a million tasks and on the way to burnout. In this episode, I share the following tips (for moms) on managing burnout during the holidays:
- Drop some balls: How many of your holiday traditions are actually necessary?
- Share the planning responsibilities: Even delegating is a task and requires invisible labor, so share the task of planning and delegating.
- Take the easy way out: Does the family really care if you use box cake mix?
- Schedule alone time: Your family will be fine when you get back.
- Participate in the fun: Be intentional about activating your relaxation response.
By applying these tips, you can have more fun and less stress this holiday season!
