It's like we're living in the future, with The Jetsons.
Sigh.
This is the holiday season, as it were, and it's time to weigh in.
No, not weigh in on your bathroom scale, although that seems to be a prevalent topic of conversations this time of the year:
Sea-Salt Fudge? Oh, I really shouldn't! I think I've gained five pounds this holiday!
Another potluck at work? Oh, boy!
Of course we need to open another bottle! (That one was me.)
What I mean by "weighing in" is not about the size of your butt or gut, but rather the weight and worth of those things we find ourselves faced with during this time of year.
That potluck, for instance. How will it feel later to eat everything you see on the table? How will it feel to eat just the few things that really look decent, and leave the rest for the hoi polloi?
See? You WEIGH the choices against the results and go from there.
Staying up late to get everything done versus just tackling what you can that day, trusting that everything that needs to get done will, and taking 30 minutes to sit by the fire and read a book? Weigh how it will make you feel.
Neglecting your fresh air and exercise time in order to fulfill those holiday demands on your time.
How will it feel to skip your walk?
How will it feel to take 20 minutes and get some fresh air and you time?
I like how it sounds so I'll say it again. Hoi polloi.
Take it easy,
Dani
