Sis, Stay in Your Soft Element
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but STAY SOFT DURING THE HOLIDAYS! 🗣️
I know that sounds impossible, especially for moms. But it’s possible! Lock in with TheLuxeDocs and use these tips for a soft holiday season.
❄️1. Start Soft
Starting your day off soft sets the tone for the day. Wake up early to stretch, do a light workout, enjoy a cup of coffee, or journal.
❄️2. Set a Self-Care Baseline
Whether it’s your skincare routine in the morning or your midday smoothie. Dont skip the self care. The key is to pick a bottom line. You may not be able to do your full workout, but pick one workout that you will do on your usual workout days. You may adjust your diet for the holidays, but have a healthy snack everyday. Doing this helps you keep that self-care promise to yourself and keeps the momentum going as opposed to a full stop that you’ll have to pick back up from.
❄️3. Plan a Me (Mommy) Moment
Take a Me (mommy) moment AKA a moment just for you. This may seem impossible as a mom. However, the key is to actually prioritize it. Build it into the schedule just like you do the dinner and activities.
❄️4. End Soft
Complete your days during the holidays with a soft ending by looking ahead with intention. Write down or think about 3 small ways you’ll continue to honor your soft life during the holidays with cozy holiday routines. And don’t forget to celebrate the moments you took for yourself throughout the day while filling it with love, joy, and pulling it all together.

The holiday season often comes with a whirlwind of responsibilities and expectations, especially for moms striving to keep everything running smoothly. Staying soft during this time means prioritizing gentle self-care and nurturing your emotional and physical well-being, even amid chaos. One of the best ways to maintain softness is by starting your day with calming rituals. Whether it’s waking up a bit earlier to stretch, enjoy a soothing cup of coffee, or engage in mindful journaling, these small actions can set a positive tone that reverberates throughout the day. These moments aren't just about productivity—they're opportunities to connect with yourself before the day demands your attention. Setting a self-care baseline is essential, especially during the busier holiday period. It’s helpful to identify a few non-negotiable activities that support your health—for example, a favorite skincare routine or a nutritious snack like a midday smoothie. By establishing a consistent foundation, you avoid abandoning self-care completely and can keep momentum going with small, manageable steps. Planning dedicated "Me (Mommy) Moments" is crucial, even if it feels challenging. Treat these moments as appointments you can't miss just like any holiday event. It might mean enjoying a quiet bath, reading a chapter of a book, or simply sitting in silence for a few minutes. Prioritizing these breaks helps replenish your emotional reserves, preventing burnout. Ending the day softly by reflecting on what brought you joy or peace can solidify your commitment to a soft life during the holidays. Writing down three intentional ways to maintain this softness can create a meaningful ritual. Celebrating these small victories fosters gratitude and uplifts your spirit, making even the busiest days more manageable. Remember, honoring a soft life doesn’t mean perfection—it’s about compassion towards yourself, acknowledging your efforts, and embracing coziness and joy even amidst busy holiday schedules. The key is to integrate these gentle practices consistently, allowing them to become natural parts of your holiday routine that support your well-being and happiness.
