Thoughts with a running therapist: holiday stress I feel it and you may feel it. Holiday stress which isn’t just the normal stress, it is the added pressure of the holidays, doing all the traditions, all the family, cooking the meals, baking the cookies, gifts for everyone, gifts for teachers, school holiday parties and church activities, etc. If you find yourself overwhelmed by holiday stress, it is OK to take a break. It is OK to slow down. It is OK to say No. It is OK to do less. It is OK to ask for help. If you find that hard to do, contact me and we can work on that together because you don’t have to do this alone.

Today I needed a reset. I embraced the cold and ran 11 miles until I didn’t feel crazy overwhelmed, stressed, lost or paralyzed any more.

Problems are a part of life, but facing them is an art of life. You can’t avoid challenges, and you don’t need to fear them. What matters is how you meet them — with patience, clarity, and the willingness to learn.

Every problem is asking something from you. When you face it well, you grow into someone stronger than before.
