The festive season can be a whirlwind of emotions, from joy to anxiety, and Brandi Lea's podcast episode, 'Protecting Your Peace and Assessing Overwhelm during the Holidays', is here to help you navigate through it. Brandi shares her own experiences growing up in a chaotic family, offering relatable anecdotes that resonate with anyone facing similar challenges. She provides practical advice on how to maintain peace amidst the holiday chaos, focusing on aligning expectations with reality.
One key point Brandi emphasises is the importance of keeping your routines intact. It's tempting to skip your morning workout or meditation when you're swamped with holiday tasks, but these routines are crucial for mental well-being. Brandi suggests waking up a bit earlier or squeezing in some meditation time to keep your sanity intact. Another essential tip she shares is setting boundaries and asking for help when needed.
It's okay to ask guests to bring a dish or split the costs of holiday meals. These boundaries protect your peace and prevent you from being overwhelmed. Brandi also introduces the concept of balancing your 'energy bank account', encouraging you to identify what activities replenish your energy and which ones drain it. By understanding these deposits and withdrawals, you can better manage your stress levels during the holidays.
Finally, Brandi prompts you to reflect on whether you're focusing on things you can control or those you can't. This self-evaluation can significantly reduce anxiety and help you find peace. With her compassionate approach, Brandi Lea offers a lifeline to anyone feeling overwhelmed during the holiday season. Her insights are not just for Christmas but can be applied throughout the year to foster a more peaceful and balanced life.
