Ctrl + Alt + Delete Your Holiday Stress

The holiday season can feel like a whirlwind of shopping, cooking, hosting, and endless to-do lists. But here’s the thing: even the most successful systems need a reset. Ctrl + Alt + Delete isn’t just a handy keyboard shortcut—it’s a mindset for keeping your balance through the holidays.

Delegate and Breathe
You don’t have to do it all! If cooking stresses you out, host a potluck and let everyone bring a dish. Not only does it lighten your load, but it also adds variety to the table (and a story to every dish).

Simplify Gift Giving
Overwhelmed by shopping? Propose a white elephant gift exchange at your next family gathering. My husband’s family does this every year, and it’s the best! We pick a theme—like “kitchen items” or “favorite books”—and everyone brings one gift. It’s simple, fun, and so much less stressful than finding something for everyone. It’s eco-friendly, and you can spend more time and effort on your one intentional gift.

Rest Without Guilt
Remember, resting is productive. Don’t overcommit, and don’t feel bad about saying “no” when you need to. Make this your time to recharge, not run yourself into the ground.

Be Proactive = Joy
Take charge of the season by planning what brings you joy, not stress. Whether that’s taking time for yourself, enjoying cozy nights in, or tackling your holiday tasks with friends by your side, make it about what works for you.

Ready to Reset?
The holidays should be about celebrating, not surviving. Step back, reboot your priorities, and create space for what truly matters. You’ve got this!

Happy holidays—and don’t forget to hit Ctrl + Alt + Delete to reboot. 🎄✨
