Merry Christmas- Be in the Moment, Don't Over-Indulge


Your tip of the week is much simpler, but yet could be more challenging than most weeks.

This week I want you to enjoy Christmas with your family. Be present in the moment with them. Watch every single moment of the kids opening gifts and reflect your successes this holiday season. This is not the time to dwell on the fact that you bought Aunt Gladice, whom you have not seen in 30 years, a $200 watch. Focus on the beauty around you. Guilt, anger, financial issues, they are not welcome on this day.
 
 

Also, do not over indulge. Maybe you are thinking, “oh, wonderful, now you tell me, Jaime. The holiday season is almost over, and now you tell me not to over indulge?!”

Just because you over indulged on other things this season, doesn’t mean for the next two weeks you have to continue to do that. People get this faulty assumption that things will change at the New Year. Nope, stop the cycle today, before Jan. 1. Do not let Jan 1 be an excuse for over indulging today. Don’t dig a deeper hole.

Now, stop reading this and go enjoy the next couple days off- and take them off.

Merry Christmas- Happy Holidays- and we will talk 2014 resolutions next Monday.
