Over the years, I have learned it is exciting to attend all the festivities happening around the holidays, but one must know oneself and how much is too much. The extroverts can be social every evening and love every moment of it. It energizes them. For the introverts like myself, I love people and connecting, but I know I have to space it out. Too much socializing and I feel overwhelmed. It has taken years for me to accept this part of myself and to listen to the inner voice that says “that’s enough; time to be quiet, regroup and replenish.” I try to listen and reel myself in before I completely exhaust myself. Wisdom has taught me to book a few festivities and leave room for spontaneity to rest or play!
