Holiday Survival Part 2: Keep the joy, lose the madness...
Welcome back to the "Creating Victory Podcast"! I’m your host, Amy J., joined by my co-host, Lori, for our much-awaited sequel on "Holiday Survival: Part 2". In today’s episode, we're diving deep into how to navigate the often overwhelming demands of the holiday season, from pre-Christmas preparations to ringing in the New Year. We're here to express our heartfelt gratitude to you, our listeners, for your ongoing support—you're the reason we do this!
We'll be sharing personal stories and practical tips on how to manage stress, balance self-care, and set realistic expectations. I talk about some of my personal experiences, including the struggle to maintain workout routines and the joy of simpler pleasures like seeing the Rockefeller Center tree. We’ll discuss the power of gratitude and a positive mindset, and introduce Chris Ruden’s 80/20 rule to help you focus on achievements rather than what you didn’t accomplish.
Expect invaluable advice on gift-giving timelines, setting boundaries, and prioritizing health over societal pressures. Plus, we'll will share insights on managing dietary preferences and personal goals, like hosting her own party by next Christmas. Stay tuned for a sneak peek into some exciting upcoming projects, including "Amy's Victory Dance".
