The holidays are over - and if you're feeling tired, irritable, or emotionally flat, you're not alone.
For many people, the pressure to make everything "perfect " quietly turns into anxiety, self-criticism, and exhaustion.

That's why I love the idea of a NOT-TO-DO LIST.

The holidays can be beautiful—and also incredibly stressful.
Mindfulness gives us a way to meet this season with more ease.
Try taking a few quiet pauses each day to reconnect with your breath, soften expectations, and treat yourself with kindness.
Remember: you don’t have to navigate this time alone, and you don’t have to be perfect to be at peace.

Do your mornings sometimes feel heavy, even before the day begins? 🌿
Morning depression isn’t a sign that something is wrong; it’s an invitation to pause, notice, and care for yourself.
Think of it as a quiet river: stepping into it may feel uncertain, but with awareness and gentle action, you can cross to clarity and peace. Each mindful step —breathing, noticing, moving —is a step toward your basic goodness.

Release Tension in 90-Seconds | Balanced Wisdom Therapy https://share.google/Y7E5XU1uOrGROuBui

Did you know emotions last 90 seconds in the body? It's not the feeling that lingers, it's the story your mind attaches to it.
When we resist emotions we stay suck.
When we allow ourselves to feel them, we create space.
Do you find it hard to sit with uncomfortable feelings?

Discover the 90-second rule by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor and how mindfulness helps release emotions stored in the body. Learn why “what you resist persists, and what you feel you can heal.”

Your mind has a constant narrator — always comparing, evaluating, and sometimes criticizing.
That’s normal.
Mindfulness isn’t about switching it off; it’s about seeing it for what it is.

Next time your inner critic pipes up, notice it without adding another layer of self-judgment.
You can simply say, “Judgment is here.”
That moment of awareness is the doorway to clarity, peace, and self-compassion.

Let’s all put down that suitcase of rocks together. We don’t have to carry it anymore. 💛

Peace isn’t about having a perfect life. It’s about meeting this moment with compassion and no judgment.

Go to my blog to read this beautiful poem, Peace Is This Moment Without Judgment, captures the heart of mindfulness.

True freedom isn’t in changing our circumstances—it’s in releasing our resistance to them.

When we stop needing life to be different, peace finds us. 💛

The secret to aging gracefully? It’s not in a cream or a diet. It’s in letting go of who we think we should be and embracing who we are.
