Have you ever had a "gut feeling?" I mean, a true feeling in your gut?
This year, I want to encourage you to listen to what your body is telling you. The gut stores so much information and is directly related to much more than we know.
By returning to our own bodies and intuition, we can heal trauma symptoms and toxic stress much faster.
If you are coming off of a very stressful holiday season or traumatic experience, I would love to speak with you and help you navigate this. Please visit https://go.oncehub.com/MendingTraumaPlanCreationAmy to book your call!
Do you have financial boundaries_
Do you know what financial boundaries are?
To truly prioritize those you love, you should stay within your budget for holidays, birthdays, etc.
I know - rough topic coming right off of Christmas, but NOW is the time to recognize, “okay…maybe I overspent a bit.”
When we spend more than we have, we set ourselves up for dysregulation. Go into 2023 with a plan to replenish what you may have overspent but also set boundaries with yourself and your partner that you both agree on for birthdays and events going forward.

Write a letter to yourself as a dear friend
Have you ever written a letter to yourself? Yes or no?
Here is an exercise I want you to try if you are experiencing a lot of regret or if you notice you are being super critical of yourself.
Write yourself a letter about the situation as if you were giving insight or guidance to a friend. What would you say to her if you were in her shoes?
This will help put things into perspective for you!

Treat yourself with the same grace as loved ones
Did you know that being too judgemental of yourself is hindering your healing?
The less you criticize yourself, the more you stay in what we call your “wise mind.” This means that you are able to stay regulated and therefore in better control of your responses and reactions to things around you.

We have 2 drives
Do you have anxiety or live in a state of constant worry? And do you also want to connect with those you love and crave feeling safe in those relationships? Raise your hand in the comments below.
There are two biological drives that humans have: the drive for safety and the drive for connection. When it comes to family, they can sometimes come into conflict with one another.
Listen for our tips on how to navigate these two drives while prioritizing connecting with those you love.

Before you go to the event (duplicate) (1)
Do you really know how to agree to disagree…without saying that?
Validation is just that. You can validate someone’s feelings without agreeing with them!
During the holidays we are usually spending more time with people we care about but don’t necessarily see eye-to-eye on all things. It is important for us to validate those around us without betraying our own ideas. There are a lot of different energies, expectations, and personalities in one room. By understanding how to validate someone, without self-betrayal, you will avoid division and be able to concentrate on connecting with those you care about.

Let yourself enjoy the event (1)
Who loves all of the family traditions and gatherings like I do during Thanksgiving and Christmas?!
So often, we just go through the motions of “tradition” without actually enjoying the event.
As we get closer to Thanksgiving, have intentional conversations. Don’t worry about everything being “perfect” but more about every person being seen and held by you.
Spend 3 minutes of face-to-face time with as many people during these gatherings as possible, and you will begin to feel the true joy of the season.
If family gatherings seem too stressful for you, take our “Do I have toxic stress?” Quiz! Let’s get to the bottom of what is stirring up this anxiety!
