December Topic: Self-Care & Self-Nurturing: Cultivate Calm, Even During the Holidays :)

Is your family driving you crazy??? Are your expectations of yourself with your family driving you crazy???

Oh, girl. You are not alone!!

The holidays often bring up old hurt and anxiety that make it even more difficult to be around our family. As women, we often play the role of emotional anchors - tending to the needs of others.

But if we are unable to access our own balance and calm, how can we expect to spend time with others and ask them to do the same?

Understanding how our own nervous system responds to stress - and learning how to re-set our responses - is a powerful act of self-care. These practices aren't just about relaxation; they are about reclaiming our peaceful center, even when we feel overextended and overcommitted.
