| 0:00.0 | This is episode 2,489 of the Daily Meditation Podcast. |
| 0:07.0 | I'm Mary Mechley, and I welcome you back to Day 2 of the series we're exploring this week. |
| 0:16.0 | This week is all about managing top holiday stressors, of which there are many. |
| 0:24.0 | And I want to share with you a stressor that has been requested frequently. |
| 0:31.0 | And that is how to manage stress from having so many expectations during the holidays |
| 0:40.0 | and not feeling as though you're able to fulfill those expectations. |
| 0:46.0 | Others may also have expectations of you. |
| 0:50.0 | We have these visions of creating the most memorable experiences ever, |
| 0:58.0 | with the best food, the best gifts, the best surroundings. |

| 2:00.0 | And see what works best for you this year. |
| 2:04.0 | It can be fun to start new traditions that are completely different from previous years celebrations. |
| 2:13.0 | So allow yourself to open up to what's really trying to happen in your life this year and honor that. |
| 2:23.0 | You might find that you don't have many people to celebrate with. |
| 2:28.0 | And that can feel lonely and isolating. |
