Life can feel like a whirlwind—especially around the holidays.
One moment you’re sipping eggnog and humming along to festive tunes, the next you’re buried under a pile of to-do lists, expectations of others, obligations, and those sneaky waves of anxiety that seem to show up uninvited. Yet, if history has taught us anything, it’s that chaos has a funny way of being short-lived. Fast-forward a few months, and you’ll find yourself looking back, wondering why it ever felt so overwhelming in the first place. Why did I let x family member get under my skin?
We funny humans think ourselves into problems.
Even so, that doesn’t change how all-consuming the present moment can feel. It’s as though each chaotic episode is part of a bigger puzzle, an essential piece molding us into who we need to be for brighter days ahead.
What if every challenge is gently nudging you in the direction of peace, positivity, and a clearer sense of purpose. It’s not always the easiest journey, but you’ll be amazed at how those small, stressful moments pave the way to bigger breakthroughs. Consider if you're able to handle the pressures and expectations of x family member with ease and flow how everything else in your life will be easy to manage!
Yes, you heard that right: you hold the power to decide whether to feel submerged by chaos or to respond with a sense of calm.
There's a choice, I know you may not agree or believe me now, and that's fantastic, you're not ready to see things differently.
It’s easy to forget that our feelings—those sudden tugs of worry, excitement, or determination— start within us.
I know you want to justify, finger point, complain, blame, and give me loads of proof that a certain person, place, thing, situation, or circumstance is making you feel x, y, and z, but that's not true. That's being a victim, and that external thing is your villain. Again, if you want to stay in misery, that's a choice, though you may not see it that way just yet. In time, you'll become open, willing, and able to hear what I point you towards. Some people aren't open and ready until the pain is just too much to bear any longer.
The more we get curious and open about where those feelings come from, the more we unlock our ability to navigate them with grace. After all, seeing chaos for what it is (a temporary swirl) frees you to choose the peace that lies on the other side.
Take that deep breath, become present.
Savor the hustle and bustle, knowing it’s guiding you to a stronger, more resilient version of yourself. And if at any point it feels like too much, remember you don’t have to go it alone. Friends, family, and yes—even a coach, like me—can be the steady hand you need to walk through the season with your head held high.
With that in mind, keep dreaming big! Embrace the tasks that push you, stay curious about your reactions and triggers, and let the sense of possibility propel you forward (these are great to get coaching on). Before you know it, the chaos will pass, leaving behind the thrill of new opportunities and the joy of realizing that you are so much stronger than you give yourself credit for.
Wishing you a holiday season full of warmth, laughter, and a little less mayhem.
Here’s to conquering chaos, choosing positivity, and welcoming whatever comes next with open arms! And hey, if you find yourself craving a deeper sense of calm and clarity, feel free to reach out—I’d love to be part of your journey toward a brighter, more peaceful future.
One last thing everyone that enters you life teaches you something, I just have to be open enough to see it, willing to listen and have your eyes open to see.
Remember, reaching out for help is a sign of strength, and I am here to assist you every step of the way.
