The holiday season can bring joy, but also stress, pressure, and a long list of expectations. A new report found that 60% of Americans felt stressed heading into the holidays, while nearly 70% reported feeling pressure to appear happier than they truly are.

According to workplace culture expert Jennifer Moss, small “micro-actions” may help people navigate overwhelming moments with more steadiness. Here are a few of the expert-backed ideas highlighted in the piece:

▪️Label the feeling: Naming an emotion may help reduce stress.
▪️Appreciate a person, not just a thing. Gratitude aimed at someone can
strengthen a connection.
▪️Notice something neutral or positive to interrupt negativity bias.
▪️Replay one good thing before bed to shift attention.
▪️Take a break from comparison on social media.
▪️Tune into your senses during busy or loud environments.
▪️Offer silent gratitude during tense family moments.
▪️Do one tiny act of generosity, like thanking a retail worker.
▪️Let go of one expectation to reduce pressure.
▪️Move more slowly to steady your nervous system.
▪️Try a 30-second “awe scan” outdoors: Briefly focus on something striking in
nature to interrupt stress.
▪️Celebrate small wins to build momentum.

These gentle resets aren’t about forcing joy; they’re about finding moments of calm in a very full season.

The purpose of a retirement strategy is to get where you want, when you want to be there. When I see articles saying, “active money managers struggle to beat index funds due to tariffs, economic uncertainty,” I believe we’re missing the point. Whether an investment underperforms or outperforms is fun to look at, but it’s about whether the investment helped your where and when.

The state of Colorado is requiring employers with 5 or more employees to offer a State-Mandated retirement savings program and it is quickly approaching!

This link here offers more details:
https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/state-and-local-updates/pages/colorado-retirement-savings-program.aspx

Rollout dates:
March 15, 2023 – 50+ employees
May 15, 2023 – 15+ employees
June 30, 2023 – 5+ employees

We can help you set up a SIMPLE IRA or a 401(K) for your employees and it will meet the mandate requirements. There are also many tax credits for your company due to Secure Act 2.0 to offer a retirement plan and I can make sure you know all of them.

Beginning in 2023, Colorado employees whose employers do not offer a retirement plan will have access to an optional retirement savings plan through a state-facilitated retirement savings program, the Colorado SecureSavings program.

What is your biggest asset? Your home? Your Investments? Your Car?
The answer is actualy your "ability to make an income" and while you have homeowner's and car insurance, a lot of people don't protect their income against a short term or long term disabling event. We can supplement your group plan or write an individual coverage. Either way it will provide up to 70% of your income tax free when you are not able to work due to a sickness or accident and it costs less that you think.

We have been active in the financial services since December of 1990 and founded Colorado Financial Advisors based on a vision to create an independent investment firm that, as a trusted member of the community.

People often use simple mental shortcuts, also called heuristics or rules of thumb, when they make everyday decisions.
While the behavioral sciences tend to focus on how these shortcuts can backfire and create biases that lead us astray, much of the time these shortcuts lead to pretty good outcomes.
