This Sweet December: Set Your Holiday Intentions!

❄️ Does it seem to you that the ensuing holidays are here even faster than normal? That all of a sudden it’s that mad dash to get things done: everywhere is crowded, lines are long, ordering takes forever, items are out of stock, you’re 47th on call wait list, weather or traffic impacts plans…

👉 What to do? Set your intentions: with patience, empathy and kindness. And have options!

• Perhaps shop in off peak hours;
• Remember customer service people are dealing with the masses – ask them how their day is going, tell them how much you appreciate their service, wish them Happy Holidays;
• Smile – outwardly and inwardly;
• Realize things will never be perfect – and that’s okay;
• Take a beat, take a breather, come back to it later;
• If encountering flight or traffic delays – have a book, game or music to offset the stress; or tell funny stories or favorite memories about the holidays to each other;
• Try to find the humor in the situation as you can.

And, however you celebrate the holidays, I hope it’s a beautiful and joyous season! ❤️
