Trying to be everything to everyone? The best partner, mother, daughter, friend, host and cook? So much so that we often don\u2019t enjoy the season or even think about relaxing until it\u2019s time to go back to work\u2026 sound familiar?<\/p>\n<p>Why do we repeat the same old patterns where we expect more of ourselves that we can actually deliver we have visions of making everything perfect for everyone else, visions of harmonious family relationships even though often deep down we know that Christmas can often be tricky to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly it seems that many of us expect more of ourselves that we can actually deliver we have visions of making everything perfect for everyone we have visions of harmonious family relationships even though often deep down we know that Christmas can often be tricky to say the least.<\/p>\n<p>So, how can we avoid falling into the trap of stress anxiety and disappointment this festive season\u2026.what can we do differently?<\/p>\n<p>For me one of the biggest things that you can do to make this festive season will be easier and more stress free is to give yourself permission \u2013 permission to just do the best you can no more no less permission to allow things to just be permission to rest when you need to rest, permission to say no if you don&#8217;t feel like doing something \u2026permission to say hell yes if you really do want to do something.
