A re-release of last year's pre-Thanksgiving episode. Holidays often bring up stress and family drama. We hope this episode helps you find more calm, peace, and joy no matter your life or family situation. Setting a mindful intention helps you respond and not react, even in the midst of holiday chaos and family drama. Having as few expectations as possible lessens disappointment and allows for curiosity and possibility. Setting yourself up for success is key. Nourish yourself FIRST so that you have the most to give and share with others. And focus on what is in your control is empowering and liberating.   Listen for more tips.  Join me for holiday yoga on Thanksgiving and most Saturdays to set yourself up for success. What are your intentions for the holidays this year?  How do you want to feel? How can you set yourself up for success?   How can you take care of yourself first? What would peace do?  What would love do?  What would connection do?  What would kind do?   Have a happy and mindful Thanksgiving. May you all be safe. May you all be loved. May you all be happy.  If you want to find calm, contentment, and a clear and meaningful path forward in areas of your life beyond relationships, I invite you to explore private mindful coaching with Dr. Mahoney www.jessiemahoneymd.com If you want to develop a mindfulness practice, reach out to Dr. Liang www.awakenbreath.org *Nothing in this episode should be considered medical advice.
