Embracing Holiday Challenges with Faith and Resilience

Is Someone Trying to Sabotage Your Holidays? Here’s How to Stay Peaceful and Resilient.

The holidays are supposed to be joyful, but if you’re anything like me, you know they can also bring stress, frustration, and challenging people. Maybe it’s a critical relative, a friend with impossible standards, or even your own thoughts telling you that you’re not doing enough.

In my latest webinar, Embracing Holiday Challenges with Faith and Resilience, I explore practical, faith-centered tools to help you overcome these challenges. Whether it’s your own negative thoughts or the difficult behaviors of others, you don’t have to let them sabotage your peace.

Who Are the “Holiday Saboteurs”?

We all have inner “saboteurs” – those negative thoughts and behaviors that undermine our joy. Some common ones are:

  • The Pleaser: Always saying yes, then feeling resentful.

  • The Controller: Insisting everything be perfect, creating tension.

  • The Judge: Criticizing yourself or others, stealing joy.

Identifying these saboteurs is the first step to managing them. When you recognize these patterns, you can respond in healthier, more peaceful ways.

Tools for Dealing with Difficult People

In the webinar, I share strategies to:

  • Quiet your saboteurs through simple 10-second exercises called PQ reps.

  • Respond with Christ-like empathy, even when others push your buttons.

  • Set boundaries without guilt or anxiety.

These tools help you stay calm, grounded, and focused on what truly matters during the holidays.

Resilience for the Holidays and Beyond

This webinar isn’t just about surviving the holidays – it’s about thriving. By applying these faith-centered insights, you can:

  • Experience the holidays with more joy and less stress.

  • Build resilience that will last long after the season ends.

  • Strengthen your connection to God, who is your source of peace and strength.
