Self Care During the Holidays
But just recognizing that for me, this time of year is there's a lot of reflection and I need to take time and space to allow myself to do that, to be okay with saying I don't really feel like going to that Christmas party. Or maybe I don't want to be involved in the gift giving process. Or maybe I want to spend more time indoors watching movies, focusing on taking care of myself

I say opportunity, then that's framing it positively, because, of course, it can be a bit challenging to set some boundaries or I don't know, it can be challenging, it can be awkward, it can feel bad, but ultimately it's for the best. But, yeah, some of the things you're saying, embracing that sometimes I prefer to be alone or I want to be. It's more of a hibernation period for me where I definitely was gift giving

I'm really glad to hear that it resonated with you. And also it's nice to hear a little bit about your way of, I guess, mitigating your anxiety a little bit with gifting experiences and exchanging experiences. I really like that a lot. And I think I'm going to incorporate that especially because one of the things that I do find life giving is, like, creating moments and remembering moments
