The Festivities of Autumn and Winter are Upon us!

With Hallowe'en here, Canadian Thanksgiving shortly behind us, U.S. Thanksgiving approaching and Christmas, Kwanzaa and Hanukkah and other celebrations coming so many of us are amidst a whirlwind of social events, familial obligations and trying to balance it all.

No matter what holidays you celebrate at this time of year, if you find yourself swept up in the madness of it all, I'm sure you're feeling very busy and most likely overwhelmed.

These celebrations bring joy and brightness into our lives at a time of the year where that warmth and light and energy is certainly missing and needed!

They are such a blessing for so many of us, a difficult time of the year for others, and for so many of us, they are BUSY.

Your mental list of things you need to do, people you need to see, gifts you need to get for people is seemingly never-ending. You likely have many events and gatherings to attend, and meanwhile, you're trying to figure out how to stay on track with looking after your own needs and pursuing your dreams and goals!

Balancing it All

Many of us take on too much, we put pressure on ourselves to make this season perfect for those around us. Curating special gifts, activities, and moments to create memories for our loved ones, and ourselves.

It is important to take a step back when it starts to feel stressful rather than joyous. Evaluate what's important to you, what truly matters during this time of year, and the moments that you will truly hold dear in the years to come!
