The Perspective from Here
Ready for the next event?
How are you feeling after Hallowe'en? Plus the time change! Are you ready for Christmas?
At times it feels so overwhelming. The thought of the prep work, shopping, organizing plus maintain the typical daily stuff... It is a hectic time of year and the colder, damp weather plus less daylight hours can make it all feel more daunting.
It helps to take a moment to check our intent for the things we sign up for and ensure it is serving ourselves and our families for the right purpose. Do we need to go to all the holiday parties or is there one or two that meet our needs? Should I sign up for another Secret Santa so I don't look like Scrooge, or is really taking me beyond my budget and time constraints and adding more stress? Oh and that family photo with Santa!
What can you truly manage right now, be true to yourself so you can be present for your family and enjoy the holiday season. By the way, if you need a Santa photo, Santa will be visiting EarlyON!
You don't have to be be everything to everyone and you don't have to be everywhere. Be sure of your intention.
That's the perspective from here.
Stay well,
