Words of Wisdom for the Silly Season - Please Add Yours

Just for starters:

Know you limits - use the way your body feels to determine how much you do, not what you "think" you need to get done.

Keep your expectations in check - relaxation is the best gift we can give ourselves during the silly season.

Breathe and feel the miracle of life force in your body - that is what life is about - not the commercialised constructs of Christmas.

Say "no" if you need to... listen to your gut about what you want to do - life isn't all about obligations.

Go easy on the grog - alcohol is a depressant that puts our brain chemistry out of whack... there is more than enough stress at this time of the year to put our brain chemistry out of whack, we don't need to add to it.

Would love to hear Words of Wisdom from other perspectives... bring it on peeps :)

Yay! I love it UA! I will take on your suggestions xo

During the holidays, a little guy comes out and he is called your  Inner Critic.  This twerp is invisible and resides somewhere in the gray mater of your brain. He likes to convince you that you are lazy, weak, stupid, unlovable, ugly, unsuccessful, and basically every other insult you have called yourself over the years. There is no rationale behind his statements. He just likes to make you feel insecure. And he does a great job of it during the holidays. This is his season! But if you watch out for him, and identify his voice before you go on believing his lies, you will save a bit of the self-esteem and confidence you will need to get through your holiday get-togethers.

Enjoy the holidays and stay in the moment my friends.

Gentle Hugs,
