Listen in to hear more about how you can shift your baseline and perspective so that the tough stuff gets easier.

974. How To Create The Perfect Holiday Season

Posted on by Nick

The holidays are right around the corner, so Chris and I wanted to share how we dial in our schedules and uphold our boundaries so that we actually enjoy the season. We break down what we do before, during, and after the holidays in order to stay on track with our personal and business goals. 

We talk about our simplified approach to gift giving, how we practice the ‘less is more’ philosophy, and explain how we protect our energy around friends and family. Plus, we share our favorite New Year’s Eve tradition and explain how we set ourselves up for success at the beginning of the year.
