406: Navigating Holiday Melancholy // Dr. Tanmeet Sethi

3 in 30 Takeaways for Moms - A podcast by Cloud10 and iHeartPodcasts - Mondays

It’s “the most wonderful time of the year,” but for some of us, it doesn’t necessarily feel like it. I know not everyone relates to this confusing angst during the holidays, but maybe you do. Maybe you put a smile on your face for the parties and events, but inside, you might feel as alone as the Grinch sitting in his cave on top of the hill because who feels down during the holidays? Is your heart just three sizes too small?  In today's episode, I'm joined by Dr. Tanmeet Sethi, who shares three tangible ways we can navigate these melancholy feelings during this time of year, including: 1. A simple exercise to soften your melancholy so it doesn’t overpower you.  2. A powerful way to boost your energy and feel more at peace.  3. The single best thing you can do to mother yourself during this season.  Listening to Dr. Sethi’s blend of compassion and research feels like a hug for my inner Eeyore! I hope you feel the same way!
