When we’re in the comfort of our own home with a cup of hot chocolate and holiday music… and everything is all in place, it’s easy to sit back and relax.

As you go outside at this time of year, you might find that many people are less present (an ironic pun?). We can become all caught up in our own minds with everything that we have to take care of around the holidays. Many are hit by extra financial stress. The extra traffic brings out even more frustration and distraction.

A simple reminder – just be present. Be patient. Stay connected to whom you are and allow some of that not-so-positive energy to roll off your back as we go through the holidays, and be sure to share a smile and some positivity when you can

Happy Holidays!
