We share practical ways to enjoy the holidays while protecting a healing brain, focusing on blood sugar, hydration, sleep, and realistic boundaries. We reframe FOMO, practice gentle resets, and stack small wins so recovery feels doable and meaningful.
• stabilizing blood sugar with planned meals and snacks
• hydration strategies with minerals and travel tips
• pre-event resets, breathing, and transition time
• scouting quiet zones and setting exit plans
• honoring sleep schedules over social pressure
• scripts for showing up differently and saying no
• mindset shifts away from FOMO toward self-respect
• win stacking, gratitude, and tracking progress
• using cues and lists to manage overload
