Day 12:  By Now We Could All Use An Energy Boost!

Sometimes you need to spend more energy to get more energy.  Holiday time can make us sluggish…all those extra goodies and extra sleep-ins!!!  Try these simple energy boosters:

  • walk an extra block today
  • get off the elevator one floor early and hike the stairs
  • drink lots of water today
  • find a drop in yoga class
  • get up right now and dance!

Jingle Bell Rock!

Day 11:  Put Yourself On Your ‘Good List’ For A Special Present  (Or Your ‘Naughty’ List If That’s More Fun!)

Pick out something that’s special from you to you.  No guilt allowed.  Indulge!  It doesn’t have to be big or expensive, it just has to remind you of the most important special person in your life…YOU!

Exciting…a prezzie!

Day 10:  Going Home For The Holidays Doesn’t Mean You Are 12!

Dreading that trip home?  It’s ok, you can admit it here.  What you need to do is plan some fun and pleasure before you head off home.  Now that’s just what these doctors order!

Plan early holiday time your way.  Enjoy food, drink and laughter with good friends.  Then head off to your family holiday traditions with those warm fuzzy memories safely in place.

And so you don’t regress back to12 again, take a photo of you and your friends enjoying your real, adult life.  It’s a good reality check when you’re being told to clear the table or get to bed early!

Day 9:  Dread That Office Party?

Remember even though they call it ‘a party’, it’s really work!  Sure it has different trappings, unless you have champagne and canapes in the workplace!

Keep your stress down by keeping your expectations in place (and your heels on and no lampshades on the head)!

Treat ‘the do’ like a meeting ~ a time to arrive ~ a time to leave ~ best behaviour in between!

Here’s to the game!

Day 8:  Are You Feeling Like The Grinch? 

Oh, go on forget all the chores, forget your Absolute Musts, and certainly forget all the things you think you ‘should be doing’.  In fact, forget being an adult for a bit and look for the simple fun. 

Burst out in holiday carols, gasp with delight over holiday lights, munch away on a candy cane, make snow angel (or maybe a fort to hide from it all!), shake the presents, bite the head off that chocolate snowman!  Take one kid-like break each day of the holidays.

Keep playing!
