Holiday Tip #9: Remember Your Why

I created the Holiday Tips series for ambitious high achieving women trying to juggle everything this holiday season -- closing out the fiscal year at work, coordinating holiday events, hosting, cooking, cleaning, communicating, shopping, wrapping. The mental load is extra heavy this time of year, and I'm hopeful these holiday tips will help make things a little lighter for you.

Introduction to Holiday Tips

00:00:00
Speaker
Hi everyone, Coach Leanna, the Executive Coach for Moms here with another holiday tip.

Why Holiday Activities Matter

00:00:05
Speaker
Today, i want to ask you to remember your why. So asking yourself, why am I doing all of this?

Overcoming Holiday Challenges

00:00:14
Speaker
And staying connected to that, whatever your answer is, I think is really important because in those tough moments where we feel like, ugh, how am I going to get all this done? Or we're up at midnight wrapping presents or doing shopping or cooking.

Aligning Activities with Values

00:00:30
Speaker
We might start to feel a little bit resentful or we might feel a little bit like, what what am I even doing this for? That is a great time to answer that question. What am I doing this for?
00:00:42
Speaker
Who am I doing this for? Why am I doing this? And if I don't like the answer, if I realize that my why isn't something that is in alignment with my values, then I can stop doing it.

Finding Energy in Meaningful Motivations

00:00:56
Speaker
We don't have to do it. But if my why is really important to me and I realize that why I'm doing this is is so much bigger than this one moment, then i can maybe have a little bit more energy to make it through that moment.
00:01:16
Speaker
So why? What's your why? Why are you doing all this?
