The Answer to Being Busy This Holiday Season Is to Slow Down

When you are feeling overwhelmed because you have a million things to do and it seems like there just are not enough hours in the day, it is likely that you will decide that the answer is to go faster. However, the solution to overwhelming situations is just the opposite. You should go slower and do less.

You can calm even the most hectic day by prioritizing, concentrating, and being more mindful.  Keep sight of the most important things each day. Try to get the important things done and discard the rest.

Get rid of any extra mental clutter so that you can have more time for the things that actually matter to you.  Doing this during the holidays (not to mention a global pandemic) can only help you feel less stressed and overwhelmed. So as you find youself going faster and faster to try and get things done......slow down, be mindful.

We have all had a tough year. We have had to figure out new ways of living. Don’t beat yourself up over things you can’t control. Do the best you can to the best of your ability and give yourself credit for making it through.

We here at Carmel Cosmetic & Plastic Surgeons wish you a calm and peaceful holiday season!
