Merry Christmas!!

Tis the season, many people are in the midst of celebrating Christmas. They are shopping, entertaining and enjoying time with family and friends.  This is a great time of year to really relax and get away from your role as a leader. However to many people this can be a stressful and hectic time. It becomes a time for many to juggle their obligations to family, to work and the finances.

How do you deal with the stress of the season? You need to find that one thing that is a constant during this hectic holiday. For me it is focusing on the real reason for the season. I focus on Jesus and His birth. It is a calming effect to focus on the one constant in life, Jesus Christ. Through all the chaos and craziness of this season the author of peace and calm is Jesus so I focus on His birth and every blessing He has given my family and I.

What are some things that keep you calm during this hectic season? Here is a list of some things that might help you think about whether they are calming in your life or not.

·         Focus on Jesus

·         Go Shopping (After all you are buying for others)

·         Bake Christmas Cookies

·         Cook a Christmas meal

·         Decorate your house

·         Visit family and/or friends

If you have more please share.

Merry Christmas!!
