A lot of things can derail your holiday peace, especially with other people around. Hosting an argumentative family, attending parties as an introvert, shopping for gifts, and endless cooking can turn the most wonderful time of the year into a migraine.
Staying relaxed requires intention. So plan in advance to protect your peace. If you’re ready to have an easier time this year, try these simple, but effective hacks for a calm holiday.
Keep it simple: Overcomplicating plans almost guarantees stress. Streamline menus, host family and friends together, and keep your shopping to one or two stores and really feel the difference. Always ask yourself, “how can I make it even more simple?”
Schedule guilt-free me-time: No matter how many commitments you have or how much of a social butterfly you are, guilt-free me-time should be non-negotiable. Schedule time to focus on yourself by putting it in the calendar.
Expect the unexpected: It happens. Travel delays, burned dinners, and family chaos. When you start the holidays with a “go with the flow” attitude, so many small stressors disappear.
Budget in advance: Don’t spend your holiday panicking about January bills. Budgeting for gifts, food, and good times in advance keeps the pressure off and the relaxing times going.
Stock up on essentials: Done the 6am run for batteries? Run out of milk on Christmas Eve? Little things become big interruptions, so take the time to stock up before you have to Google which store is open.
