Avoid Holiday Stress by Saying, “Yes!”

I just got back from going to my favorite salad place for lunch. It always strikes me so funny when I go. I go the that place to support my efforts to eating lots of fresh vegetables. When I go down this line where they prepare our meal, the restaurant workers are continuing asking me, “Would you like cheese on that?” “Would like to have a cookie or a brownie with that?” “Would you like to have a pop?” Or “would you like to have a chocolate covered strawberry?” Over and over the worker’s continuously invite me to blow my goal. As we approach Thanksgiving, there is going to be many opportunities that are good, healthy, and supportive to our lives. Other things if we say yes to will have a negative effect.

Say yes to gratitude. Say yes to being thankful. Gratitude always put you in a better frame of mind, assists you to make better decisions, improves relationships. Say no to family drama. No, no, no! I will not have family drama this year. Say yes to peace. Yes, I will peacefully get through to any situation. Say no to anything that will cause negative results.

When times get a little more stressful than normal, which they often do when you are dealing with family and the holidays, it because even more important to say yes to the vegetables. Yes to the things that make you feel good in the long run and look away when all those other invitation comes that won’t put you in peak performance.

Avoid the stresses. Say yes to health. Say yes to happiness.
