The whirlwind of Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday can leave many of us feeling drained. The back-to-back busyness—whether from work deadlines, shopping deals, or family gatherings—can be exhilarating but exhausting. As the dust settles, it’s important to pause and reflect on how this season’s intensity has affected you and what you need to recharge.

It’s the perfect time to take out your journal and focus on how to regain your balance.
