A lot of feels come up during the end of the year: it\\u2019s heightened. There are a lot of expectations \\u2013 ours and those of loved ones. We tend to feel like we need to be somewhere in our life, be with someone, have certain things, or be a certain way \\u2013 especially when it comes to putting on a certain face around family. And if you are working on yourself, it can be just enough to push you over the edge of \\u201cokay\\u201d toward \\u201cfreaking out\\u201d or \\u201coverwhelmed.\\u201d\\nSo the shorthand of this episode is \\u2013 do what you need to do to take care of yourself and honor yourself!
