8 Holiday Mistakes You Must Avoid – Ep. 230
The holidays are a busy time for everyone and sometimes we forgot to make sure we set it up and plan vacations, family get-togethers, and parties in such a way that we actually enjoy ourselves too. So, this week, Devon and I are sharing our top 8 holiday mistakes that people make, how to avoid them, and how to make sure you have an amazing holiday season for yourself.
We’ll dive deep into each mistake as we go through our list:
- Creating unrealistic expectations for the holidays
- Operating on someone else’s agenda
- Running yourself ragged
- Leaving your daily habits behind
- Not scheduling a time to eat
- Focusing on what you cannot eat rather than what you can eat
- Not setting boundaries with work before you leave for vacation
- Allowing your vacation to end with a fizzle
