Self care during the holiday season

Stop and smell more than the poinsettias.

As the holiday season starts and you're out and about going on with your daily routine, do pay attention to your surroundings. In particular, while walking in parking lots. Once you access your vehicle, focus on getting to your destination instead of reading and sending texts.

Allow extra travel time while on the road because just like your schedule is full with limited time and not enough hours in the day, same theory applies to everyone else.

Enjoy your time and try to not over extend yourself with too many obligations that require you to rush like a gerbil in a cage.
