It's the most wonderful time of the year, but also one of the most stressful for perfectionists! In fact, we get, on average, a 40% increase of anxiety during the holidays and we’re diving into what are some ways you can ease that perfectionism during the holiday season. 

In this episode, we discuss tactics for managing perfectionism and reducing anxiety during the holiday season. From dealing with family dynamics to avoiding burnout from parties and hosting, Nicole provides sanity-saving tips to stay present and joyful. Instead of getting overwhelmed by expectations and guilt, learn how letting go of control can lead to a holiday season that feels magical, not manic.

5 Key Takeaways:

1. Release unrealistic expectations of a "perfect" holiday season. Accept that things will go wrong and don't try to control every moment.

2. Reframe guilt over saying no into gratitude for choosing yourself and growing. Set those new meanings beforehand.

3. Delegate hosting duties and resist people-pleasing. You can't be everywhere at once.

4. If you fall back into old family dynamics, consciously rewrite those patterns by catching negative thoughts.

5. The key is presence. Stay focused on each moment instead of past problems or future to-dos.

Tune in to hear more techniques for minimizing holiday stress and spending the season present and joyful, not anxious and overwhelmed. It's possible for even the most tightly-wound perfectionist to enjoy the holidays!
