Only eight days until Christmas. How are you going to spend the next few days before Christmas? How about making the choice for the these days before Christmas to be relaxed…there may be plenty to do but you can choose to detach from the stress that is usually associated with last minute plans and things that need to be done. Approach each task on your list with fun energy…change any anxious feeling to fresh new found energy!!
Then think about, what things really NEED to be done. Just because your house is spotless every year for the Christmas Season…does not mean that this year you can leave out scrubbing the entire floors in your home on your hands and knees….I know how we are on ourselves….if things are not at our standard of ‘perfect’ we are not happy or worse feel that we have failed at being prepared. Really…do you think that anyone will notice if every part of your home is not cleaned to the nth degree?? Typically your home is more in need of cleaning AFTER the family/friend gathering!!! Right??
Leave some of the cleaning for afterward…when your house may really need the extra TLC!!
Give some thought to whatever may add some stress to you at this time of year…consider if it may be something that you can let go of this year. Just consider not letting it stress you out just this year….it may surprise you to find that no one misses or even realizes that you did not get the task done…whatever it may be.
We wish you a Blessed Holiday Season…however you and your family celebrate this time of year….we wish you peace, happiness and relaxation!!
Bobbi and Deb
