SHORT, SWEET AND TO THE POINT

You're busy. I'm busy. It's FRI-YAY! We all have things to do. I get that. I respect that. I'm going to reiterate a post from earlier where I gave you five simple tips to remember during the holidays. Ready for it? Here it is.

1. Manage Expectations. You can only control yourself. Everyone else is responsible for their own behaviors, attitudes, habits, and actions.
2. Set healthy boundaries. Know your limits and set healthy boundaries.
3. Self-care. Have a list ready to go of all the ways you can prevent, combat and/or navigate through holiday anxiety before it sets in.
4. Communicate clearly. Have food allergies? Let the host know. The biggest misconception about communication is that it has already occurred. Make it happen.
5. Prayer. Begin, end, and center your day around prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving. God first, y'all! 

That's it! Have an awesome day and remember - I love you, but more importantly - God loves you! Happy Veteran's Day to all of our National Treasures! 

HAPPY VETERAN'S DAY!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!

Stay tuned for another episode. I aim to crank out the blog posts three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. See you next time! And remember, if you or a loved one is in danger, get help immediately, and don't stop talking until someone acts on your words.
