Friday 5: Making the Most of the Holiday Season — Without Burning Yourself Out

Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...) The holiday season is often framed as a time of rest, but for many people it becomes physically and emotionally demanding — disrupting routines, increasing stress, and triggering symptom flares. In this Friday 5 episode, VJ shares five practical ways to move through the holidays in a way that supports your nervous system, digestion, immune health, and energy levels — without striving for perfection or adding more to your to-do list. You’ll learn why being truly present with friends and family has a direct physiological impact, how to support vagal tone through simple daily choices, and how to use the end of the year as a helpful reflection point rather than a source of self-criticism. VJ also explores how to approach food during the holidays in a way that is grounding and nourishing — focusing on warm, blood-sugar-stable meals — and why making time for activities that help you feel like yourself again is not indulgent, but essential for long-term health. This episode offers a calm, realistic framework for navigating the festive season with more steadiness, clarity, and self-trust — setting you up to enter the new year feeling more regulated, rather than depleted. 🧘‍♀️ Need nervous system support? → I personally use and recommend Nurosym (https://www.nurosym.com/VJ47561) , a vagus nerve stimulation device clinically shown to support immune balance, inflammation, and stress recovery.
