  • 4 Ways To Keep Your Sanity This Holiday Season

    Written by: Wendy J Olson, Executive Contributor Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise. The holidays are my favorite. Or at least, I used to SAY the holidays were my favorite. I came to a cold, hard reality last year that the holidays are in fact not my favorite time of year. I can trace a large amount of my trauma back to this time of year. And there's nothing like some good ole fashion trauma counseling to make you realize you're living a lie. It's no wonder so many people get depressed this time of year. First up, there's the pressure. Who started the notion that one day, two days, even a whole season needed to be filled to the brim with perfection, and lots of fake snow on your mantle…? I could blame Clark Griswold, but I suspect he wasn't the first one. For years women have been putting pressure on themselves to create the perfect Christmas without any actual clue as to what a perfect Christmas is and should be. Therein lies the rub. We have no idea what is attainable, let alone expected. And there's the second: what should we expect? Are our expectations too high? I don't know, and yes. There is no perfect Christmas. There is no perfect Thanksgiving. It's all relative and it's all based on your idea of perfection. Not Missy Influencer Jones over there with her perfectly monogrammed stockings hung by the chimney with care, and her family in matching PJs. And also, if only… So here are four reminders for the holidays I'm gonna need you to have living rent-free in your head: 1. Your holiday traditions don't have to be like everyone else's. Read that again. Your traditions are just that: yours. You don't need to live up to the Target commercial brand of holiday hub-bub. If your tradition includes eating Chinese food alone in your apartment, kudos to you! I wish I could join you. Don't let the pressure of social media eat you alive, even more than it already does, during the holidays. 2. Cut yourself some slack. The holidays come around every year, which means next year you'll get another go at this thing. Not every year can, or should be perfect. Give yourself grace. Most years one or all of us is sick. For Thanksgiving this year, we were running 2 out of 3 in that department. Trust me, it's going to be ok even if you burn everything and nothing comes out right and all your packages are late. Who cares? That's not the point. Relax. Be kind to yourself. And for that matter, everyone else too. 3. Your trauma will resurface during the holidays. This is an all-but guarantee if you are someone living with trauma. (And you are. More on that next month.) There's something about this time of year that brings it all bubbling to the surface. For that, I am sorry. There's nothing you can do about it other than be aware of it, take care of yourself, and be curious about it when it does resurface. Don't try to wrap it in the box like Aunt Bethany did when she went to visit Clark and Ellen. It will get electrocuted and set your Christmas tree on fire. Nobody wants that. 4. And lastly, take care of yourself. FIRST. No, I mean it. Don't make me come over there! Take care of yourself better than you've taken care of yourself all year long. I know, this year has been hard. And so have the last two. But we're here. We're in this together. We're almost at the finish line. Take a breath. Take a break. Take a long bubble bath and book a massage. Find a meditation practice you love. (I'm super into Movement Genius right now!) And practice the heck out of it. If it were a cassette tape in the 80s, play that baby on replay and wear out the deck. You cannot take care of anyone well unless you first take care of yourself. Say it again. Remember that the holidays are stressful…and also they don't have to be. If you're visiting people that trigger you, set a timer and don't stay long. If you're traveling, expect long lines and delays. And STILL, be kind to your airport staff. Expect tantrums, expect meltdowns, expect tears. And that's just from the adults. Give yourself grace. Give yourself space. We're all in this together. You are not alone. Reach out, reach back. Let's be together this holiday season, even if we're miles apart.

  • How To Keep Your Emotions From Damaging Your Success

    Written by: Eva Medilek, Executive Contributor Executive Contributors at Brainz Magazine are handpicked and invited to contribute because of their knowledge and valuable insight within their area of expertise. Emotions are toxic. They cause you to act without thinking. Whether it’s out of pride, fear, or excitement, you have likely experienced situations where you have rushed into things. Where you have ignored that quiet voice inside yourself that’s telling you to slow down or reconsider, only to regret it in the future. It was a slap witnessed around the world. A slap that knocked a beloved public figure off of his pedestal as a role model for emotional intelligence. In March of 2022, The Motion Picture Academy Awards were broadcast on National Television. As comedian Chris Rock took the stage to present the award for best documentary, he started his monologue with some jokes, as comedians often do. One of his jokes was aimed at Jada Pinkett Smith, wife of actor Will Smith. Now as uncomfortable as the joke was, there was some nervous laughter in the audience. But Jada Pinkett Smith did not find it funny and could be seen rolling her eyes. At one point her husband, Will Smith walked up to the stage, approached Chris Rock and slapped him in the face. Now Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith, as a couple have built their brand around personal development and emotional intelligence. Will wrote about his journey and his struggles in his best-selling autobiography titled “Will”. His reaction and actions were not in line with his brand or his messaging. It was painfully obvious to all who witnessed this incident that his feelings and emotions took control of his actions. Those actions will have some repercussions that will surely have an effect on his career. But what happened that night, at the Academy Awards, was a stark example of how your feelings and emotions can sabotage your success. Your feelings are rarely aligned with what's best for you and when you are not in control of your feelings and emotions, you will react in ways that aren’t aligned with your vision, your goals, and your values. Here are 6 things you can do to develop the mental and emotional energy needed to take action based on your values and priorities and gain control of your emotions. 1. Routines ‒ Establish a morning routine. Be the boss of your mornings. A morning routine wipes out 20% of stress and brings positivity and preparedness for the day. 2. Resets ‒ when you reset, everything shifts. Establish a strategic reset every 50 minutes. Move, drink water, stretch, or sit quietly for 3-5 minutes to reset your body & brain. 3. Re-Charge – Eat to fuel and recover. Have a performance diet. A diet that is built for the performance needed during the day. 4. Re-Activate – Work out at least 5x per week. Moving activates energy. 5. Rest your brain – How you treat other people comes from your brain. Rest your brain. Nourish your brain with supplements. Meditate for your brain. 6. Recovery – Develop a sleep routine ‒ get 7-8 hours of sleep to optimize your performance. No food 3 hours before bed Stop working 2 hours before bed No screens 1 hour before bed When you can win the battle with your feelings, you can take true ownership of your life. And when you move through life with clarity of thought and purpose, nothing can stop you. Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube and visit my Website for more info! Read more from Eva!
