If you’re like me, you’re also feeling some kind of energy buzzing in the air now that the holidays are coming.

It’s so easy to get swept in overwhelm during this time of the year. You have to think about the perfect gifts to buy for everyone and you’re bombarded with so much holiday promos, you have to prepare scrumptious yet budget-friendly dinners, so many parties to attend, getting ready for a long holiday vacation, PLUS the pressure that

the year is ending and still you’re not making enough money. You are so tempted to just put everything aside and just start anew next year. But you also did that last year

and nothing is different up to now. It’s time to make new goals for the New Year and you notice you’re just making the same goals again. Then you wonder, isn’t the holidays supposed to be fun?

Yes the holidays are fun! It’s a time for family, giving and love. Before you start getting caught up in overwhelm, follow these 2 tips so you can truly enjoy the festivities.

1.    Be still and listen to your heart. When you’re getting that rush of overwhelm, just remember to pause. Be quiet, be still and listen to the beating of your heart. You can put your palm on top of chest so you can actually feel your heart beat. Clear all thoughts and focus only to murmur in your chest. Stay there as long as you can. Two to five minutes at the least. This simple practice alone will calm you and bring you to a peaceful place.

2.    Get support. If you are still kicking yourself for not having enough discipline and focus to implement all the stuff you put on paper or in your head, it’s time to get support.

Get a coach who can help you get things done. Most businesses fail because they never got the support that will point out their blind spots, help them overcome challenges and point them in the right direction. You’ve tried doing it on your own already, so it’s time to do it differently. You can’t afford to have another year pass to learn to do everything yourself. It’s time to help more people and it’s time to make more m0ney.
