Episode 595: Your Holiday Gameplan When You’re Low on Energy

Kathi and her guest Deanna Day Young are returning for part three of their discussion on how to design your holiday gameplan. This week they are helping us know what to do when we are low on energy. Listen as they share ten ideas to help us think through priorities, set realistic expectations, divide responsibility, take care of ourselves, and use resources wisely. The conversation includes practical strategies such as assigning everyone a meal to cook, setting realistic expectations, cleaning tips, buying prepared foods, staying active, making use of local resources and hired help, prioritizing hydration, and keeping routines as much as possible during the busy holiday season. The episode ends with a reminder to keep your energy up by maintaining your routines and practicing self-care, so you can enjoy a restful, meaningful holiday with your family.
