It's the most wonderful time of the year...but is it really?

Good afternoon Bomb Squad,

I absolutely love this time of year. The décor and Christmas music just gives me that warm and cozy feeling inside. I look so forward to decorating the house with the family and all of our holiday traditions.

Walking into a store hearing Christmas music and seeing the beautiful lights on the houses in the neighbourhood, just brings a smile to my face. And let's not forget the cheesy Hallmark movies that we all secretly enjoy - am I right?

However, let's keep in mind that this time of year also brings on lots of stress and anxiety. Whether it be related to purchasing gifts from that endless Christmas list or hosting the festive holiday. It all adds up and rather than having a peaceful Christmas holiday, most of us just end up feeling burnt out.

So let's be sure not to over pack our holiday calendar and be sure to set a goal to carve out some special time just for ourselves & our mental well being. Time to center yourself and feel connected with the moment. Let's bring some focus to grounding ourselves and truly feeling a sense of calmness.

With love & light,

Stefanie
