What’s included:
Lesson 1: Thrival Mode
I share the very real physiological reasons we stay stuck in survival mode, and the ways we play that out. In survival mode we tend to focus on what we don’t want rather than on what we do want, which keeps us in a survival cycle. I’ll show you some strategies for moving into thrival mode. This lesson asks the question: What if the way to thrive this holiday season isn’t to avoid what you don’t want but to pursue what you do want?
Lesson 2: Boundaries
Good boundaries are necessary for a healthy and happy life all year but never are they more vital than the holidays. I share the steps to move from a reactor to an empowered creator of your days and life. You’ll get the framework to decide your boundaries and a simple formula for communicating your boundaries so you can thrive through this season. This lesson asks: What action would someone take who had permission and power to change things? (because that’s you!)
Lesson 3: Recharging
Holidays are known to be exhausting and overwhelming. But that doesn’t have to be your experience. You can anticipate the extra energy draws and make allowances for it. I’ll share ways to keep an even level of energy by considering your unique needs, challenge you to monitor your energy and provide ways to recharge when you need it.
Lesson 4: Grieving
There are times when you can make the most of things and turn a tough situation around. And then there are times when the most loving thing you can do is to be sad. To stop trying to push down or run away from the pain and sadness and anger and to just sit and feel. And be there for yourself the way you need. I share ways to process the grief so you can let the grief transform you and your experience.
Lesson 5: Redeeming the Season
Traditions can be wonderful or they can be confining. They are a tie to the past–pleasant or painful. Do you need a fresh start in some ways? This lesson is a challenge to make the season exactly what you need to nurture you and to reflect the season of healing you’re in now. I share creative ideas and tools to help you make the season your own.
