How can you prevent toxic conversations?

How can you prevent someone from triggering a negative response out of you?

As we step into the holiday season, potentially tricky conversations during family gatherings can happen. We've all been there, dealing with relatives where the connection isn't as smooth as we'd like, and the conversations can be a bit of a challenge. 

Before you switch into the festive gatherings, a bit of pre-party practice could be your secret weapon. And there is power in being the bigger person—leading with empathy and understanding. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The best practices for a restful sleep
• How to improve your sleeping habits
• How to change your body clock

Let's make this holiday season one filled with warmth, understanding, and, of course, lots of love. 

With Love and Gratitude,

Jay Shetty
