Prioritize Rest: • The best gift you can give is your presence. Schedule downtime to recharge and show up as your best self. Reflect on Wins: • Take a moment to celebrate your personal and professional achievements this year. This can help you feel grounded amidst the chaos. Simplify Your Goals: • Focus on one or two meaningful tasks or traditions rather than trying to do it all. Ask for Support: • Whether it’s delegating at work or asking family members to help with holiday prep, remember you don’t have to do everything alone. 💡How do you stay centered during the holidays?
