The Holiday Rule-of-Thumb

Continued from page 1

The ‘pull’ is there, if you can’t think for yourself. The media isrepparttar most obvious culprit –repparttar 129540 ads on TV and radio that increasingly bombard us with a sensational, insensitive and expensive lifestyle; but our friends, neighbors, colleagues and even loved-ones may dorepparttar 129541 same.

RESIST!

As an adult 'child' you may be vulnerable torepparttar 129542 expectations and judgments of your parents, i.e., “But we always have a party on Christmas Eve, then breakfast on Christmas Day, then church …” and on and on.

Likewise as a grandparent, your adult married children can lead you a merry chase, not just requiring you attend activities, but asking you to fill in when they’re in over their heads, gotten sick, and need help. “Mom!! I’ve got to getrepparttar 129543 cards out,repparttar 129544 baby’s sick,repparttar 129545 house is a mess, we’ve got houseguests coming …”

If you work in an office, you’re vulnerable torepparttar 129546 hub-bub around you. Deanna is giving her husband a golf vacation, shouldn’t you? Julie’s husband is buying her a sapphire ring, shouldn’t you feel bad if your husband isn’t? If you aren’t centered, and using your EQ, it’s whiplash!

And allrepparttar 129547 parties, withrepparttar 129548 liquor, sweets and unhealthy foods you don’t need. Getting off your schedule, and lettingrepparttar 129549 kids get off theirs. Not getting enough sleep. Spending too much money and worrying about it. Andrepparttar 129550 first thing to go is your exercise regime.

Even your place of worship will have a full schedule of events and services beckoning to you, and every organization you belong to is giving a party.

It all adds up to stress, stress impacts your immune system, and you get sick. This throws you farther behind your frenetic schedule, adding more stress.

STOP THE MADNESS!

This year, try something different. Do half of what you consider doing. This will mean having priorities,repparttar 129551 first of which is your health and well-being, and that of your family.

Fix half of what you ordinarily do for your Christmas dinner. Try adding some healthy foods. They are always easier to prepare. What does it take to put a pear on a dessert plate and serve it? (Make it festive with garnish – squirt on some whipped cream, add mint leaves and red peppermint.) Some sautéed green beans with dill? Add some pimiento; you have red and green!

Then spend about half of what you consider spending – onrepparttar 129552 kids but also on your partner and other loved ones. Running uprepparttar 129553 credit cards is a stressor too.

Try giving more of your self – your time and your attention. If you think that’s “harder,” you’re right, and also you need to take a look at this.

Basic to all this – you have to take care of yourself. Set an example for others this year and start new traditions. Half as many!
