Outfits 7 years ago 3 Ways to Keep Your Cool This Holiday
This happens every year. I swear that by December 1st I am going to have any and all of my holiday shopping complete. I don’t know who I’m kidding {ha!}. It’s not that I am late to the party, I’m just super duper OCD and like to get everything checked off my list as quickly as humanly possible. I, like everyone, find this time of the year to fly by faster than you can say “Ho Ho Ho” and I’ve been doing my absolute best to try to not stress and slow down the countdown.
01. Schedule in a time to check holiday shopping off of your list and order everything online. I know that shopping for presents in person feels nostalgic, but imagine having everything done and being able to truly enjoy an evening stroll around the shops. Not only have I put together a hefty list of gift guides as inspiration {click here} but this post is created in partnership with rag & bone and you can find several wonderful gift items included throughout, including the mini-compass bag that I’m carrying here.
02. Make a list, check it twice. I try to prioritize my lists and double check it every morning and evening. It keeps me motivated when I get to cross something off and shows progress made at the end of a long day.
03. My therapist recently told me to take a 20 minute time out break, just for me. I spend 20 minutes a day doing something that is 100% dedicated to slowing down my breath, my mind and truly focusing on what the holiday season is all about.
