This is the time of year when most of us are on OVERLOAD!
How many of these are you afflicted with:
Overloaded with projects
Overloaded with plans
Overloaded with gift buying
Overloaded with baking
Overloaded with decorating
Overloaded with entertaining
Overloaded with events to attend
Overloaded with volunteering
Overloaded with special meals
Overloaded with family activities
…all in the name of a holiday?
Well, I want the holiday to be perfect for everyone! Oh yea, I’ve heard that before. Does this describe you:
I want the experience to be perfect
I want the memory to be perfect
I want the gifts to be perfect
I want the entertaining to be perfect
I want the baking to be perfect
I want the decorating to be perfect
I want the meals to be perfect
and on, and on , and on it goes….to what end……exhaustion and frustration?
You know, I bet if you asked each person in your family the one or two things that really mean the most to them and included yourself in that question, you may just be able to do away with 80% of your frustration, exhaustion and unrealistic expectation.
I also encourage you to let go of 10% of whatever it is that you do. That 10% will make a world of difference.
Put in a warm bubble bath or hot shower and 15 minutes of closed eyes in the dark and quiet before bed and see what a difference it makes to be totally disconnected from the madness.
