"Hello Beautiful, Sharon,

What’s one “made-up rule” you could let go of this holiday season? Maybe it’s sending cards out by November, cooking the perfect meal, or buying gifts for everyone. Give yourself the gift of peace, loosen the pressure, soften the expectations, and play with creating new rules that actually honor your emotional, physical, time, and financial resources."

The Joy Energy


Real Talk

The holidays bring up stress for so many of us, not because of what’s happening, but because of the pressure we put on ourselves.

Research shows that most holiday stress comes from unrealistic expectations, people-pleasing, comparison, and financial pressure, all driven by beliefs we don’t even question.

We drive ourselves a little crazy with made-up rules like:

“I have to make everyone happy.”
→ “If I don’t hold everything together, everything will fall apart.”
→ “I need to absorb everyone else’s emotions so no one gets upset.”

“I need to create the perfect holiday.”
→ “The house has to look a certain way or I’ve failed.”
→ “I should feel festive even when my body is tired or overwhelmed.”

“If I’m not invited somewhere, it means I’m not loved or wanted.”
→ “Everyone else has a full, picture-perfect family - what’s wrong with me?”
→ “If they forget me, it must be personal.”

“I should cook everything, buy everything, be everything.”
→ “I’m responsible for everyone’s comfort and experience.”
→ “Even if I’m exhausted or in pain, I can’t let people down.”

“A good holiday has to look a certain way.”
→ “Everyone else seems to be doing it right - maybe I’m the only one struggling.”
→ “If I simplify, rest, or say no, I’m ‘ruining’ the holiday.”

The truth? These beliefs exhaust us.

And most of them aren’t even ours -they come from old traditions, childhood patterns, social media pressure, or rules we absorbed without realizing.

Here are simple shifts people made that brought relief:

“The kids only get one gift now. At first they were really upset, but now they’re happier and focused more on doing things like playing games, and spending time together, and less hyped up ...”

“I quit hosting out of obligation and only host when I truly want to.  I no longer feel resentful and put upon ...”

“I let myself use store-bought food instead of cooking everything from scratch. And I don't do special orders for dished unless I want to ...”

“I told my family: ‘We aren’t doing all the traditions this year.’ We are doing less, and focusing on what we really care about, and everyone enjoys it more.”

“I stopped doing everything myself. Now family brings a dish to share and all help clean up the mess after.”

“I don’t feel bad when I’m not invited anywhere. Instead, I volunteer, or go to a community dinner, and have made some new friends ...”

Small shifts like these can be life changing. 

I invite you to explore what you might change to make things better.

“There is no greater gift than feeling good in the now moment.”

With love,
Sharon
