Toward others, of course. It's the Thanksgiving season, so honor someone who has contributed to your life by writing a letter to a high school teacher, e-mail an old friend, or volunteer to help out at a local charity or soup kitchen. It's the reason for the season (and yes, that applies to more than just Christmas).
"Eat your veggies" is something we've heard all our lives, but it is good advice. If you fill up on nutrient-dense vegetables before attacking that pizza or those meatballs, you'll be satisfied with fewer calories and make it through that Thanksgiving meal with fewer regrets!
Do you still have Halloween decor out? It's time to pack away items designed specifically for Halloween. Keep the pumpkins (not with faces!), scarecrows, and hay. They are still good fall decorations. However, remember, the season for each of these is ending in a couple of weeks! Pretty soon it'll be time to change everything out for December!
Like an Olympic champion, life during the holidays is walking a balance beam. Your days will have peaks and valleys, and some days, you may fall right off. If you do, choose a task you can be successful at so that your highs will balance your lows. Stay on the balance beam and you will have a great holiday season!
Reconnect with nature by keeping an eye out for birds in your garden or yard. You can do this from inside or ourside your home. Write down what each bird looks like and the last time you see it for the season. If you locate a special one, celebrate with a cookie or slice of pie! Good for you!
