Emotional regulation for holiday stress—learn simple breathwork, nature‑based resets, and how to handle family triggers with self‑acceptance.
Anthony Hartcher shares practical ways to calm your nervous system, see both sides in family dynamics, and avoid quick fixes that derail your health.

What’s inside:

• Why emotions polarise at year‑end gatherings (Christmas, Hanukkah, summer break)
• A quick breathing protocol + grounding in nature you can use on the spot
• Owning “disowned parts”: turning judgment into compassion and steadier self‑regulation
• Value‑aligned actions (mindfulness over overeating/drinking) so you stay calm and whole
