A Very Self-Indulgent Christmas: 20 Ways To Care For Yourself This Holiday Season
Episode description
Here's what to expect:
- Though the holidays are our favorite time of the year, we tend to put the most pressure on ourselves during this season
- Last year, we did an episode called, “Holiday Dissappointment: When Mom’s Expectations Don’t Meet Reality” where we discovered that we need to stop trying to make magic happen for our kids and let it happen naturally
- Today, we’re going to talk about letting that magic happen for ourselves.
- “That’ll buff out,” says Steph. As your kids get older, they find what they love most about Christmas and become keepers of your Christmas traditions
- Pretend you’re an 11-year-old at Christmas - they embrace the parts they love, ignore the parts they don’t, and enjoy holiday cheer purely for themselves
- When you can stop depending on others — your husband, your children, your family and friends — to fill your cup and make you whole, you’ll be a lot happier - sound advice from the book, “Mindful Loving”
- Break out your notebook so you can take notes! We’ve got dozens of ideas from other moms on how to spoil yourself this holiday season….
