311: Honor Your Feelings and Make New Traditions This Holiday Season
There’s no sugar-coating it: This holiday season is going to be a tough one. That’s why this episode is about accepting and honoring your feelings. This holiday season, give yourself and others permission to feel many feelings at once.
We’ll also discuss how to celebrate the season in new and different ways. Who knows—maybe you and your family will start a brand-new tradition!
I’ll discuss:
How to honor what you’re feeling and let those emotions out
The importance of self-compassion
How to virtually get together with others this holiday season
Creative ideas for celebrating the season including Turkey Trots, hikes with friends and even Peloton classes
How to preserve the feelings of the holiday season through your senses:
Taste classic holiday recipes
Smell nostalgic scents (plus, learn why scent is the sense most closely associated with memory!)
Sounds, like listening to holiday music or putting on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade
Sight, including one funny tip my husband and I are trying this year: Packing our suitcases!
