There’s no doubt that the holidays can be an extremely stressful time for many people.
Whether you’re dealing with loneliness and depression, family trauma, politically opinionated cousins, or staying disciplined with what you eat, there are a lot of landmines hidden among the holiday cheer.
The good news is there are also highly effective tools and tricks that can help you navigate all of the potential difficulties that can crop up this time of year.
By framing things in the right way, setting expectations for yourself and those around you, and looking for ways to find and deepen human connection, you can turn a potentially stressful time into one of the most beautiful times of the year.

QUOTES:
“When you know you’re doing something for other people, you feel this deep sense of meaning and purpose. Doing that around the holidays I think can be a huge, huge win.” [6:19]
“Bright lines will work, no matter what it is, as long as you want the outcome enough to essentially torment yourself.” [12:53]
“We cannot control other people. You cannot make them deal with their mental health. That cannot be your responsibility.” [22:55]
“The whole punchline of life is to live a joyful life of fulfillment - that’s it.” [34:42]
“Having those bickering, biting, trauma-filled exchanges are their own punishment. You do not need to make it worse by trying to change people, convince them to be otherwise, or whatever.” [44:20]
