Description

Hello lovelies! Thanks for listening!

In this episode I will talk about how to survive during the holidays 🎄🎁🎉as an introvert and with family.

For introverts, the holidays can be difficult whether you’re physically with family or not.

This episode has tips on when you’re *physically with family and when you’re visiting from out of town.

Some tips are:
1. To stay at a hotel or an Airbnb. 🏨

2. To take off more days from your day job so that you can have ‘buffer’ days (to get acclimated before and after your trip).

3. To stay with family and friends no more than 3-4 days (if you can’t afford to get a hotel or an Airbnb). 🏨

4. Arriving at the holiday party/gathering/event early and leaving early (before it gets too crowded!). 😱

5. Planning 1-1’s or small group gatherings with your close family members and friends.

6. Having your ‘me time’ and stepping away whether it’s going for a run 🏃🏾‍♀️ or a walk🚶🏽‍♀️, taking a dance or fitness class 💃🏽 , watching a movie by yourself 🍿or going holiday shopping by yourself 🛍.
(The key is to step away and to do an activity by yourself so that you can recharge.)

7. Saying “no” or “I can’t make it” to any holiday group gatherings that you do not want to attend or are too tired to attend.

8. Not apologizing for saying "No" or explaining why you can't or don't wanna attend.

9. That "No" is a complete sentence.

Podcast Episodes Mentioned:
1. Ep 36 Coping During the Holidays as an Introvert, Empath and an HSP.

2. Ep 75 Surviving During the Holidays as an Introvert 2023.

3. “We can do hard things” by Glennon Doyle, Abby Wambach and Amanda Doyle.
