Consider this your official permission slip for the next 24 hours: - You don’t have to manage everyone’s emotions - You don’t have to over-explain your boundaries - You don’t have to make this magical for it to be meaningful A few gentle reminders as we move closer: For Yourself - Take breaks before you’re exhausted - Eat when you’re hungry, rest when you’re tired - Step away when your body asks you to For Others - Let people be who they are without fixing - Release the need to control how moments unfold - Kindness counts — even when it’s quiet For the Moment - Presence > performance - Connection > perfection - Peace > pressure Reflection: Where can I give myself a little more room to breathe today? If you want, share one permission slip you’re giving yourself. Sometimes naming it makes it easier to honor.

Here’s a Pre-Holiday Reset Checklist I've created so you can move through the day gently, an opportunity to lower your emotional volume. Not just for yourself, but also for the people around you. Reset Your Energy - Drink a full glass of water before checking messages - Take 3 slow breaths and let your shoulders drop - Ask: “What actually matters today?” Lighten the Load - Decide one thing you’re not doing this year - Prep one small thing now that will help Future You - Let “good enough” be enough Make It Easier for Others - Send one message that says: “No pressure, just glad you’re here.” - Lower expectations instead of raising them. Have compassion - Offer presence, not solutions Create One Small Moment - Play music that makes the room feel warmer - Step outside for 2 minutes and reset your nervous system - Laugh on purpose Reflection (optional): What would shift if I focused more on ease than execution today? Drop a 💫 if you’re choosing softer energy today or share one thing you’re letting go of.

What’s one tiny rebellion against holiday pressure you’re allowing this week? Late start. Fewer plans. Lower expectations. Saying no without a paragraph. Choose yourself, it's a power move 🌅

Ease isn’t laziness, it’s me choosing myself on purpose.

The weeks before Christmas can feel like a lot, lists, expectations, emotions, and the pressure to make everything perfect. Here’s your permission slip: Ease counts this week. Presence counts. Enough is already enough. From a nervous-system perspective, your body doesn’t need more effort right now; it needs signals of safety. Slower mornings. Softer plans. Letting one thing be unfinished without making it mean anything about you. 🎄 Holiday Flow Invitation: Instead of asking “What else do I need to do?” Try asking: • What can I simplify today? • Where can I choose ease on purpose? • What already feels warm or good enough? Confession time: what are you not doing this week, and choosing peace instead? Or what’s one small way you’re letting yourself flow instead of forcing it? Judgment-free. Holiday magic included. 🤍
