Holiday Ease Playbook: 10 Tiny Shifts to Make the Season Less Stressful

The Tiny Shifts (grouped so they’re easy to use) 1) Time & Body • Schedule yourself first. Put one pocket of solo time on the calendar (a walk, a bath, a quiet tea). Protect it like any appointment. • Keep your movement ritual. Don’t drop what steadies you. If needed, shorten it—don’t skip it. • One-surface reset. Choose a single surface to clear before bed. Visual simplicity = nervous-system relief.
