Ep 36 Coping During the Holidays as an Introvert, Empath and an HSP

Listen on

Episode notes

Hello...thanks for listening!

Didn't mean for this one to be this long but it is what it is! You can listen to bits at a time if you'd like...it's a podcast after all. ;-)

Whether you're with family and friends or whether you're alone, it is a 'trying' time for introverts, empaths and/or HSP's during the holidays.

If you're alone and are homesick I suggest:

1. Making phone calls to loved ones.

2. Doing a Zoom call with loved ones.

3. Joining a Meetup.com event or organizing one to your liking and inviting other members to join you.

4. Hey Vina app! (An app for women to make friends by planning events and gatherings in the same or neighboring city!).

If you're visiting family and friends during the holidays I suggest:

1. Renting a hotel or an Airbnb so that you have your own space and can recharge whenever you want/need. 

2. Politely declining an invitation to stay in the same house/space/area as everyone else with the exception of you having your own space/room to yourself. 

In the end  YOU know your capacity and as long as you follow your instincts you'll be good. And it's your right to say "No" and to respectfully and politely decline an invitation if you're not feeling it either. It doesn't mean that you're ungrateful because you politely and respectfully decline. ;-)

Cheers to speaking up and for making your voice heard!

Sincerely,

Elizabeth
