Worrying...Are you stressing out about the holidays? Worrying about what to buy for all your friends and relatives?<br />Stop! Think about what you’re concerned about! Do these people really need more stuff? What’s the best gift you could give to them? What would be most valuable to them? Is it really something that can be purchased at a store? We live in a society that encourages us to accumulate more and more stuff, things we don’t really need. So we chase stuff instead of spending quality time with our loved ones. Memories will last a life time, stuff loses its excitement in a week or month or year – if you’re lucky.<br />Why is it that we all fall into this societal trap every year? Deep down we all know better. <br />So, as you’re approaching this holiday season, what will you focus on? Spending quality time with your loved ones or running from store to store looking for the perfect gift? Will you create memories that last a life time or accumulate stuff? Is the holiday stress too much for you to handle on your own?<br />Stress stimulates a surge of hormones which makes your sleep and relaxation moments worthless. An exhausted body needs a good rest, but as far as you can't rest while you are stressed you may start to feel headaches, moodiness, and memory loss, inability to concentrate and even aggressive behavior and your loved ones will pick up on that.Christophhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193902306117570098noreply@blogger.com
