A Holiday Filled with Joy...Day 8
Keep the best and eliminate the rest! A great slogan for the holidays. Have you ever tried to do too much only to find you don't get any of it done the way you wanted? How about the man that wanted to keep up with his neighbor and have more lights on his house. He worked so hard clear up to Christmas day and ran out of time to complete his plan. Instead of "Noel" spelled out on his roof...it said "NO."
If you feel overwhelmed by the many things on your too do list...look it over again. What things really focus on family, friends and holiday fellowship? Instead of thinking you have to do it all... resulting in an overtired, unhappy person who feels like they missed the joy of the season...Focus on the important things that make a difference in your family.
Here's a few tips to reduce holiday stress...
-Don't start any new holiday projects after December 1
-Everyday make it a point to give someone a holiday hug or a friendly smile
-Schedule a small block of quiet time for yourself, even if it is only a few minutes.
-Don't be afraid to say no
-Pray, fellowship, Sing praise and rejoice the spirit and meaning of the season
-Take a walk
-Enjoy precious moment with those you love
