How to Not Burn Out During the Holidays: Five Herbal Strategies
The holidays can be a time of joy, but for many of us, they can also bring overwhelming stress and burnout. In this video, I’m going to talk about what burnout really is, why it's so common during the holidays, and how we can take intentional steps to avoid it. I’ll be sharing five personal strategies from my own life and clinical practice that help me stay grounded and calm during this busy time of year.
These five strategies are:
- Check in regularly
- Tend the Living Things First
- Safeguard Your Rituals
- Herbal Allies
- Neaten Your Nest
As we dive into these, I’ll also discuss how I use herbs like American Ginseng and medicinal mushrooms such as Reishi to keep my nervous system balanced during times of stress. I’ll share how these powerful plants support me when things feel out of control and help me regain my calm.
One of the highlights of this video will be a guided exercise where I’ll lead you through a simple practice to connect with and recalibrate your nervous system. It's amazing how our bodies have the ability to balance themselves once we tune in and notice when we’re out of sync.
Lastly, I’ll give you a sneak peek into my Year One Herbal Foundations course, where we explore and work with plants in a deeper, more intentional way.
Join me in this video to learn how you can avoid burnout, reclaim your peace, and truly enjoy this holiday season with the help of herbs and simple rituals.
