Feeling overwhelmed and stressed?
Of course you are! This is probably one of the most stressful times of the year. Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza or nothing at all…the end of the year can create a tremendous amount of pressure. Finishing up last minute preparations or, perhaps, completion of those end of year work goals...and let's not even talk about 2026 goal setting...
Wrapping things up, literally and figuratively.
Remember "Goldilocks"? She knew when the porridge, the bed, and the chair were just right. Not too hot, too soft, not too...you get the picture…
Stress can be like that: Too much and your circuits get overwhelmed...too little and you have no oomph to get things done. What do you need? Just the right amount to give you the energy to show up to the things you want to show up to...feeling your best. No matter what this busy time of year throws at you.
It's possible.
There's definitely something about a little bit of healthy stress - that boost of adrenaline - that can make you feel motivated and energetic and ready to get that thing done.
But...how do you put in place some healthy boundaries to ensure that your circuits aren't getting overloaded?
Are you ready?
Let's get to it...
Your challenge...
Here are some suggestions for managing your resources over the next couple of weeks. Resources can be many things: Tangible things like money, or things like your time and energy.
Tangible things:
Before you tap your card again...ask yourself: When January comes and it's time to "pay up" will I regret this decision to spend my money on this?
Time:
Before you take on one more thing…ask yourself : Do I have the time to do this thing? Time is finite. We only get so much of it. If you're taking on something "extra", maybe ask yourself: What do I need to say no to in order to do this?
Energy:
This is a tiring time of year. Extra requests are being made of you on top of your already busy schedule. In addition to time, your energy can take a hit. When you get asked to do that thing, ask yourself: Is this really what I want to spend my energy on?
Selfcare:
Probably the most important element in managing over the next few weeks. Taking time each day to do something for yourself. A quick walk, a few minutes of breathing, throwing on a song you like and dancing. Having a chat with someone you love. Whatever works for you. And, a friendly reminder that, NO is a complete sentence. You don't have to make excuses for taking care of yourself.
