A Silly Holiday Reminder

I have a silly reminder for you today. It might seem obvious, inconsequential, or harmless, but it’s important. As we continue deeper into the holiday season, you don’t have to do everything.

Our impulse says to say yes to anything and everything. Add this expense. Jam that onto the calendar. ‘Tis the season, after all!

But you don’t have to. You don’t have to turn what should be a peaceful time into a grind. You don’t have to screw up your finances. You don’t have to pack the schedule. It’s ok to say no……even to family! Don’t get railroaded. Don’t let the current sweep you out to sea.

So many people are about to sabotage their joy, peace, and finances. Resist the urge. You don’t have to do it. You can say no.

Lean hard into what matters most, and I’m pretty sure financial stress, exhaustion, and busyness aren’t on your wishlist for Santa. Choose peace. Choose contentment. Choose intentionality. Your future self will thank your current self for this gift.
