Ah! The holidays!!! What a wonderful time of year! Right?

\\n

But also, what a stressful time of year!!!

\\n

It\\u2019s very easy to look at all the pressures this time of year - the cooking, the presents, the wrapping, the parties, the traffic - as \\u2018stressful\\u2019 activities.

\\n

But not only is this an inaccurate way of looking at these things, labeling them as \\u2018stressful\\u2019 is actually making it all much more difficult and stress-inducing.

\\n

The reason is that the stress is happening in our perception of these things, and not in the things themselves.

\\n

And mindfulness is a wonderful way to change this perception and reduce the stress response to all the aspects of our lives.

\\n

This is why I am offering a mini coaching program, starting next Monday, 12/14.

\\n

We will meet via Zoom for five days and each day I will teach you a new practice you can use to reduce your stress now, during the holidays, and for the rest of your life.
