MORE SPACE | To Enjoy the Holidays

Prepare Now to Enjoy Later

It’s hard to believe Halloween is behind us! November and December can quickly become a freefall into moving from one obligation/celebration to another without a chance to enjoy anything - the most wonderful time of the year turns into the most stressful time of the year.

To prevent this spiral, I've started scrutinizing my "yeses" before the season starts. I'm learning to say "no" to the obvious and then some.

This new practice gives my family MORE SPACE to truly appreciate the season. What gets a "best yes" is only a commitment that is meaningful and brings rest to everyone.

So, as we welcome November, here’s a tool to identify your "best yes" and create MORE SPACE now so life doesn’t feel so chaotic when Thanksgiving rolls around. We’ll start by determining what we’ll take on during the season and then complete tasks to get our schedules and houses ready for it.

While you’re driving home from work, picking up the kids or running errands, think about what you want the season to look like and what gets your yes. We’ll write it down tomorrow - all you need to do today is name it! Download the entire guide HERE and follow along on Instagram @kendallpgilbert for each day's task!
