Feel Overwhelmed by the Holidays? Here’s a Guide to a Calmer Season
The holidays are a whirlwind—so much to do, so many people to see, and a thousand little things to keep up with. If the season feels more stressful than joyful, you’re not alone. Between shopping lists, holiday events, and the pressure to make everything “just right,” it’s no wonder that many of us feel like we’re barely holding it together. But what if this holiday season could feel different?
We’ve created something that might just help: The Holiday Well-Being Checklist, designed specifically for those of us who feel overwhelmed and stretched too thin this time of year. This checklist offers a simple, grounded approach to holiday self-care—real, practical steps that bring calm and joy back to your days.
The Pressure of Perfect Holidays
It’s easy to feel that the holidays should look a certain way, especially with all the “perfect” holiday scenes we see online. But reality often looks very different. For most of us, holidays come with a blend of joy and stress, connection and overwhelm. Between family dynamics, financial pressures, and the endless to-do list, it’s hard to find a moment to breathe.
Self-care during the holidays doesn’t have to be another “should” on your list—it can be a way to find peace amidst the chaos. Our checklist helps you make small shifts that bring back a sense of ease and enjoyment, without adding any pressure or perfectionism.
What’s Inside the Holiday Well-Being Checklist?
This isn’t your typical self-care list. The Holiday Well-Being Checklist is built to work with your real life, not against it. Each tip is about tuning into what feels good, letting go of stress where you can, and connecting with the moments that matter to you. Here are a few highlights:
Set an Intention:
Start by choosing one word or feeling that you want to guide your season—something that speaks to how you want to feel, rather than what you think you “should” do.
Choose What Brings Joy:
Curate your holiday influences. Follow accounts and content that inspire, uplift, and help you feel at ease, while letting go of anything that adds pressure or stress.
Trust Your Needs:
Self-care doesn’t have to look a certain way. Our checklist encourages you to tune into what you actually need this season, whether that’s a moment of rest, a quiet evening, or a joyful connection.
Embrace Imperfection:
The holiday season doesn’t need to be flawless to be meaningful. Our checklist reminds you that real moments are better than perfect ones.
