Let the holiday rumpus begin!

Dec 3, 2009

Dear Carolyn,
I am already going out of my mind with the holiday hoopla. I can’t get it all done. It’s impossible. Do you have any stress relief tips? I’m desperate.
Chuck

Dear Chuck,
Take. A. Deep. Breath. Repeat.
Hey, next, take a walk. Then, make a list. After that, just sort of move through it with the goal to make steady progress. Don’t let the holiday stress own you. Take charge of what needs to be done. And let all the expectations and commercialism float by.
And then take another walk.
I’m just say’n,
Carolyn
