ARP 370 A Quick Look at Anna Barnes The Anxiety Workbook

Nov 27, 2024

Once upon a time I had this guy call me on Thanksgiving day to sell his carpet cleaning service. He probably thought is was a good idea, everybody would be home. Probably had that 100 calls mentality. 

I was not joyful or merry when I got that call. I did not curse him out. I reminded him that it was Thanksgiving day. The call ended shortly after that statement.

 

For some of us, this is the start of enforced joy and merriment. The imperative to buy, buy and buy some more. 

 

I want for you a different imperative. To take care of yourself as best you can. Watch what you eat and drink. And if you are prone to having alcoholic drinks, make sure you also gulp down plain water for brain hydration. 

 

Or you could, embrace the mocktail life. Just a thought.

 

Balance your sweets with actual veggies and fruits.  Don't indulge in toxicity from media or other sources. Say "Thank you" if it helps you to get out of the store faster. 

 

Our goal is to get to January 2, 2025. And then we get ready to meet the next challenge.
