Picture this: you're in the midst of the holiday season, balancing family, festivities, and an ever-growing to-do list. Amid all this, how do you find the time for self-care? Welcome to another heartfelt episode of Five Years Time where we explore this subject with depth and authenticity. Join me, Grace, as I candidly share my journey of intentionally slowing down, prioritizing self-care, and protecting my space amidst the festive whirlwind. I let you in on the rejuvenating effects of a recent facial and the calming power of setting intentions and meditation.  What if there was a way to balance productivity and self-care without feeling overwhelmed? Let's venture into the concept of slow living, particularly as we navigate the cold winter months. We'll talk about our daily routines, from relaxed mornings to productive afternoons, and the joy of having delicious snacks within arm's reach. Discover the refreshing benefits of a morning walk, a dose of sunshine, and how these simple pleasures can set the tone for your day. We also tackle that familiar feeling of overwhelm that can creep up during routine activities like grocery shopping and meal prep, sharing personal stories and strategies for seeking support and adjusting routines based on the season.  Lastly, we'll delve into the art of planning ahead and making every moment count. From booking appointments and treating them as special moments to planning ahead for family activities during the holiday season – it's all about infusing joy into our everyday tasks. I'll also share a delightful seafood pie recipe, perfect for both special occasions and regular weeknight meals. And as we transition into mom mode and hibernation, we'll discuss the importance of making time for ourselves and finding balance between our roles and responsibilities. So, whether you're a parent or simply someone trying to navigate life's busy periods, this episode is a gentle reminder to prioritize self-care and find those precious moments of calm. Don't miss it!
