Holiday Strategy 2021…Are You Ready to Start?

by

Last week I proposed that you start planning for the holidays and start your timeline beginning November 1.

Did you consider it? Did you make a plan or create your timeline? Would you like to obtain my Eight Week Holiday Survival Checklist?

Yes, we are eight weeks away from Christmas Day. Yes, we haven’t even celebrated Thanksgiving yet. Yet, take charge of the holidays this year and make plans for joy by starting now. Try it. With all the other things going on in your life, this strategy may help reduce the overwhelmed feeling and help you thrive during this time of year.

Life coaching can also help you meet your goals. Contact me if you are interested in an introductory coaching session or a copy of the Checklist.

Holiday Countdown 2021

by

Did I write “Holiday” in an October post? I did. Yes, I know that Christmas is over eight weeks away.

That is why I am mentioning it now. Much of our holiday stress is a result of not having a strategy or plan. When you don’t even think about Christmas until after Thanksgiving, you can’t help being stressed because that leaves only four or five weeks depending on the year. And, as with last year, add the circumstance of planning celebrations or holidays to a pandemic and that makes it a bit more challenging.

So I would encourage you, especially this year, to decide what is important for celebrating the upcoming 2021 Holiday and then create a strategy to achieve that.

As I do every year, and it is worth repeating, take the stress out of the holidays and begin your holiday countdown November 1.

If you would like to obtain a copy of my Eight Week Holiday Survival Checklist, contact me by October 31.

 

 

Don’t Just Survive…Thrive During the Holidays!

by

We all feel pressure at some time or another in our life. When we use it as a positive…a challenge… we handle it well and it can be inspiring and stimulating. When pressure becomes overwhelming…it causes exhaustion, ill health and unhappiness.

The holiday often adds pressure on top of an overwhelming and harried life. When you prepare yourself physically and mentally for any event, activity or challenge you can avoid the negative effects of pressure and anxiety and will be able to do your best in stressful situations. In fact, even when faced with major life changes you can thrive if you use these techniques:

  • Exercise for resilience.
  • Fuel your body with healthy foods and beverages.
  • Regularly practice relaxation.
  • Plan ahead and develop routines.
  • Create a support system.

So just don’t survive…thrive by arming yourself with the tools and techniques you need to survive daily pressures.

Which will you do today?
