How to find peace in a sea of chaos

We are in the height of the holiday chaos — busy schedules, last-minute plans, constant noise, emotional triggers… you name it. It’s all happening now. This is the season when we feel the weight of demands and expectations more than ever.

But what if we could release the sense of overwhelm and lean more into grounding, ease, calm, and peace? How different would this time of year feel if that became our experience?

The truth is, calm and peace aren’t something we find once the chaos settles. They’re something we can create within ourselves — even in the middle of it all.

So how do we do that?

First, it starts with taking just five minutes to set an intention. Instead of focusing on what we don’t want to happen, we shift our attention to how we want to feel.

Ask yourself:

• How do I want to feel during this season?

• How do I want to show up?

• How do I want to respond, rather than react?

Setting our intention will help us ground and frame how we want our holiday season to unfold. It will set us up for success. Whenever I do this exercise, I keep a small note on the side of my bed as a reminder of my intention. It becomes an anchor I can return to when everything around me feels loud.

The next thing I focus on is a centering exercise. This is something simple and accessible that I can do anywhere, even in a crowd.

That can be things like:

• Box breathing

• EFT tapping

• 4 - 7 - 8 breathing

These are the techniques we can use in the moment when the chaos feels like too much. When we start to feel disconnected from our intention, these practices help recenter us, bringing us back to the present, back to baseline.

Lastly, I keep a set of non-negotiables. These are the things I commit to each day, regardless of what’s happening around me. They’re what keep me aligned, balanced, and at ease.

For me, that looks like:

• 20 minutes of movement

• 10 minutes of morning reading

• Protein at breakfast

• Drinking at least a full glass of water in the morning

• Find

Non-negotiables don’t have to be complicated. They’re small, consistent acts of self-connection that create stability and routine even when everything else feels unpredictable.

Peace during the holidays isn’t about controlling the chaos around you; it’s about creating anchors within yourself. When you set an intention, use centering breaths, and honor a few non-negotiables, you give your body and nervous system a sense of safety. From that place, lightness, peace, and calm become accessible.

Even in the busiest season, you have the tools to move through it feeling steady, supported, and at ease. You are allowed to create the holiday season you’ve always desired.
