Let it go. Be real. It’s okay to freak out, to stress, to even get a little manic. In fact, just letting it all go and giving in to the crazies will allow you to step out of them THAT MUCH FASTER.
See – when you snag a little corner of an evening and let it go however you need to:
-blast the music in your car
-curl up to Love Actually and sob your eyes out
-shop ’til you drop with your bestie
-leave $50 on the counter for your family to take themselves out to breakfast so you can sleep in
-read, write, create, problem-solve, be YOU
….you get soooo much more out of the little moments. Aunt Martha’s snide remarks about the appropriateness of your swingin’ party dress will be laughable. Maybe you’ll even give her some style pointers. Traffic? I believe that’s an excuse to turn it up, rock out, and enjoy the insanity. No prezzies purchased this year? Your creativity starts running wild and handmade gifts are de rigueur. You see, you get what you give. So give a little peace love and understanding to yourself and you’ll get it right back. A million times over.
