Less is More! Practical Self-Care During the Holidays

For better or for worse, the holiday craze starts on November first. (Think: Christmas commercials. Christmas trees in stores. Holiday "sales".) In November, it often feels as though being busy is normal. Despite all this, November is the perfect time to slow down and to reflect. Indeed, the secret to a happy holiday season is to practice 4 November-specific self-care items, including compromising, delegating, practicing gratitude + taking shortcuts, too. Here's how.


Is it me, or do we often forget self-care during the holidays?

For better or worse, the holiday craze starts on November first. Christmas commercials inundate our favorite television programming. Christmas trees abound in stores. Holiday “sales” entice us here, there and everywhere.

In November, it often feels as though being busy – and being stressed – is expected.

This week’s guest is blogger Kelsie Bentley. Kelsie believes the secret to a happy season is to get comfortable with 4 self-care must-dos  including compromising, delegating, practicing gratitude + taking shortcuts. Kelsie believes in a slow November, too, and she’s on the show to explain how it’s possible.

Enjoy!
