Before the Madness Begins
Today, I just want to talk about that lull—you know the one. That quiet, slightly odd stretch of time after Halloween but before Thanksgiving and Christmas take over every store, every schedule, and every thought in our heads. It’s that brief, beautiful moment where things slow down just enough for you to catch your breath before the holiday chaos begins.
If you’re like me, you can already feel the holiday energy building—plans, shopping lists, family gatherings, decorations, all of it. But right now, for just this moment, it’s calm. My only recommendation today? Appreciate that peace and silence while it’s here.
Let yourself take it easy.
– Rest without guilt.
– Watch a movie at home.
– Make yourself a simple fruit and veggie tray to snack on.
– Go to bed early if you can.
This is your chance to recharge your mind and body so you don’t get swept up in the whirlwind that’s coming. Use this quiet time to breathe, reset, and prepare yourself—not just for the to-do lists, but for the joy that’s meant to come with the holidays too.
So today, slow down a little. Enjoy your peace before the madness starts. You’ve earned it.
