The holiday season often brings more commitments than capacity. Many people feel stretched thin — emotionally, socially, or physically.

An energy budget can help.
It isn't about productivity; it’s about protecting your well-being.

Try identifying:

1. One thing that fills you up
(e.g., a walk, quiet morning, connecting with one person)

2. One thing you genuinely want or need to do
(a gathering, tradition, or responsibility)

3. One thing you can release
(a task, expectation, or obligation that drains you)

This gentle clarity can help you move through December with more steadiness and less overwhelm.

If you’d like support finding your energy balance this season, I’m here.
