"The best view comes after the hardest climb." --Benjamin Franklin
As moms we have been in survival mode for so long that we can’t even see it for that. It’s just become our natural state. As a result, we are prone to being stuck and blaming ourselves for our inability to get ourselves going. But this week we talk about how survival mode is not only dictating how we treat ourselves body, mind, spirit, and place, but also how we do our holidays. If we want to thrive in the holidays, we must first identify where we are just surviving. Where we have been dragging traditions along just because. And stop and just think about how we can do things differently.
If turning the calendar to December sends you into a fit of twitches and makes you want to curl up in a ball and hide until January, then this is the episode for you.
Today on the Surviving to Thriving Podcast, I challenge you to look at your holiday and family traditions with a new lens. To really look at what it includes and why you continue to include them.
I want you to think of your holidays as a trip you are packing for each year. Feel free to bring along all that are must haves, and feel just as comfortable leaving behind what no longer fits.
