It’s so easy to become completely unconscious during the holiday season…we eat too much, spend too much and experience WAY too much stress as the year closes out. We all have this image of the “perfect” scenario, and do what we can to try and fulfill it.
Sometimes all of that expectation is too much. It brings up old resentments and frustrations. That’s why I am encouraging you to
go easy on yourself this season. Do less. Take a moment to be still. Make one less holiday treat, buy one fewer holiday gift and send one less holiday card. Resolve to cross something off your list without completing it—and resolve to NOT feel guilty about it.
To help you get through, here are 5 of my most-visited blog posts that cover stuff
like how NOT to kill your relatives; how to shift from making this season about money and more about experience; how to know if your gift-giving is about more than just gift giving; and finally, how to realign yourself as you move into the new year.
