203. How to ditch holiday overwhelm- Breaking free from the perfectionism and being prepped to finish out the year strong!

Christmas is right around the corner so I thought I’d touch a bit on overwhelm in this season. 

Yes we say that word alot. BUT it’s because it’s a real word that is really how we feel, right?

But side note as I was writing this, I felt the Lord say we need to stop using the words that we don’t want to feel. So let’s not partner with the word overwhelmed. It may be something we are feeling at the moment but it’s not from God and so don’t let it take hold!

Ok today I wanted to give some quick tips to help you get past the high stress that comes with this season. 

First we need to ditch the party’s and presents-

Half of our stresses comes with doing and spending too much. 

Maybe you are well off and you have plenty of money to spend, that’s awesome. BUT even then, the idea of searching and getting lists and buying and wrapping..it can be alot. 

And going to so many parties, it just adds to the plate. 

So the way the way we ditch these two things is first to learn how to say no. It’s ok to say no to some ofthe things you are invited to. And it’s ok to say no so certain presents. No your limit and budget and stay within those boundaries. 

We started doing something a few years ago for our kids, something you want, something you need, something to wear , and something to read. Makes gift giving a little easier than a TREE FULL OF PRESENTS lol 

Second, Prepping yourself for a healthy Christmas.

This is a season for family, friends and stress. We see people we only see once a year. We mingle with people we don’t like. We spend money we don’t have. We go places we don’t want to go. 

So we got to be prepped. What iS your budget? Who do you HAVE to buy for? This year we opted to change our gift giving cause we are all on a budget(explain cousin gift exchange)

What parties, events etc do you HAVE to go to and which ones can you opt out of?

Ask God to help you decide on these things! Remember He’s into the details! 

Make a plan. Stick to the plan. 

Third drop the perfectionism! 

So we need to release that to God and get back to WHY we celebrate Christmas and WHY we are gathering with friend and family. IT’s not about the decorations or fabulous food- those are just beautiful bonuses- it’s about JESUS!! 

And Jesus is the best gift ever!!
