Happy Holidays 2021
Happy Holidays 2021 to everyone! It’s hard to believe it’s here but during this Holiday season, I want to wish everyone a happy, healthy, and safe Holiday. Focus on You and the important things in your life!
What’s important?
After the past couple of years, dealing with a global pandemic, a lot of us have really had to focus on the most important things in life. Politics aside, we were all forced to isolate in some way – whether that be from other family members, friends, or co-workers. With that came a lot of self-reflection – at least it was for me. The result of that was realizing the things that were most important in my life and actually making changes I had wanted to make for some time. To me, there are 3 most important things:
- You!
- Family
- Health
YOU matter!
You are important and you matter! Life sure brings its ups and downs and we definitely know the downs since the start of the pandemic. They say a pandemic only happens once every 100 years and that was about right. That means that some of us will live through a pandemic once in our lives and some will never know what it means to have to deal with something so massive. It caused confusion, isolation and depression. Click here to help beat depression and anxiety.
Family
Our family matters! During the year, we spent more time with our families than ever before but at the same time, there may have been family members you weren’t able to visit. Again, this was all due to the pandemic. Either was hard in so many ways. Some people struggled with having to juggle work and school. Others struggled having to take care of family members who were ill. Sadly, others had to deal with death. All of this either brought people closer together or farther apart. My hope is that it brought you and your loved ones closer together.
Health
If we don’t have our health, what do we have? They always say to take care of yourself before you can take care of someone else. In fact, when you are flying somewhere, the instructions given before take-off are: ‘put your oxygen mask on before helping someone else’. The reason? If you don’t take care of yourself first, you’ll be taking care of everyone else at the expense of yourself. When will you stop to put your oxygen mask on??? Perhaps you’ll continue to help everyone before you pass out and then your family is left to have to deal with life without you. If you would only take care of yourself first, then you can take care of everyone else. So, while on a plane or in regular life, without health and taking care of ourselves first, we have nothing.
Happy Holidays 2021
During these uncertain times, I wish everyone health and happiness. Take care of yourself and your family. Do better and be better. Happy Holidays!
