But here’s the thing we don’t need hype.
We need regulation.
Because December isn’t just busy…
It’s work, errands, kids’ sports, finals week, dress-up days, shopping (so much shopping), cleaning, groceries, secret Santa, and to-do lists longer than Santa’s naughty list 😳
And somewhere in all of that you’re wondering… Where’s the magic?
I get it. Truly.
Some things are going to fall through the cracks and it’s going to be okay. I promise.
Right now, the most important thing you can do isn’t doing more…
It’s regulating yourself so you can actually be present especially for those kiddos on Christmas morning 🤍
Here are 3 things I’m doing to stay regulated this month:
✨ 1. Nutrition is a priority
What you put in your body affects your energy, blood sugar, and mood.
You can’t expect calm when you’re surviving on sugar bombs and caffeine.
✨ 2. Deep breathing (in real life moments)
This morning I was rushing for work and felt the anxiety rising.
I paused. Took a few deep breaths. Finished what I was doing, calmer.
Any spare moment counts. One breath can shift everything.
✨ 3. Ending the day calm
I don’t lay in bed scrolling.
I create the most peaceful environment possible to wind down… music, tea, fireplace, low lights.
Prioritizing yourself is hard, I know.
But when you don’t… everything feels harder.
Follow along for gentle reminders from one busy working mom to another 🤍
We don’t need hype.
We need support.
We’ve got this.
