December 25th is just another day...


Christmas is just another day, even for the most religious. Reduce expectations and breathe deeply.
Do your best, take a nap, or a hot bath; head to the beach for a cold walk with your kids, avoid the last minute urge to grab "one more thing."
Thousands of folks are still paying off their buying debt from Christmas 2010!  
Don't feed the madness...instead, visualize the most calm and relaxed person you know. Then say, "What would he/she do?"
Anchor to the image of this calm person and remember the feeling that you want to bring to your job or your family. Be the person who is warm, gentle, and in the moment. Don't be the pretzel lady above. :)
