Are you stressed about the upcoming holiday season?  Let's unravel the nuances of holiday hosting. From setting a date to planning a food-sensitive menu, cleaning, decorating, and managing the emotional energy of your guests,  how can  you reserve  your energy for what truly matters?  The promise of peace and joy amidst the holiday rush may seem elusive, but with some thought work and planning, peace and joy are possible! Together, let's identify what tasks can be delegated, what can be omitted from your to-do list, and the power thoughts that will help you strike a balance. 

  • Main points: 
    • ​​Notice the nuance-
      • Types of hosting-dinner vs overnight guests; family vs friends)=
      • Aspects of hosting - the house, food, people, and organizing
      • Notice for each area and task - what do you love/like/dislike/hate
      • What brings you energy? What depletes it?
      • Notice the timing of each task - before, during, after? 
    • Decide
      • What can be delegated or shared?  
      • What can be let go/said no to?
      • A power thought to carry you through the holiday season: 
        • Mine is “People in my life can think, feel and do whatever they choose.”
        • What’s yours?

Let's connect.

I am cheering for you!
