Herbalife with Meditation

You know how it is, the office, or whoever organise a large party, after all it is Christmas. You are expected to go and “jolly it up” along with the rest of them. There is a huge expectation everyone will be in ‘Happy Christmas Mood’, including you. When you arrive, it is everything your feared it would be, loud music, crowds, excited shrieking!

I don’t know how many times I have set off for such a party, thinking just go and enjoy yourself. Don’t be a ‘party pooper’. The more you think about it the more anxious you become and end up going home early with some excuse, hoping nobody has noticed. Through time I have gained the confidence to say no, it is just not my thing, why put yourself through that? I much prefer a small group with a few friends and people just have to accept that now.

It is not much better if you are organising the Christmas Party in your own home for example. Potentially I could be worrying for days before such an event, after all everything would have to be perfect. On the day, flapping about in the kitchen getting more and more anxious, not enjoying your party at all. If it has to be a largish party, why not encourage everyone to bring a dish and help. Or better still keep it simple and small. If they are your friends and family, it shouldn’t matter. Be kind to yourself. Surely it is about sharing time together, not whether the cutlery matches! Everyone will be just as happy.

Shopping, now that can be a nightmare. The shops at Christmas time tend to be busy, crowded and extremely harassing. In the past you would find me buzzing around trying to get the right present for the right person and spending too much money. If you suffer from panic attacks this is not a good situation. Stop a minute. Why would you do this. For a start off a bit of planning goes a long way. Make a list and a budget and stick to it. There is always the internet, which is often cheaper and less stressful. Buy well in advance and as a result there is more time to calmly enjoy the festive period.
