Tis the holidays...are you minding your priorities??

This should be obvious, but in case it is not, I will explain below.

"I should mind my priorities" 

1. Finances~ I'm praying adults are keeping this near the top. During the holiday season and beyond, we are still responsible for paying our recurring expenses; hence, it is a great idea not to accumulate many unnecessary financial expenses. You know the many gifts that are quickly increasing your credit card (s). Question: Will you be content that you made all those purchases when your January credit card bill shows up? 

2. Stress~ The unrealistic belief that you can be everything to everyone at the same time. The 411 on the street is...stress kills so say no more often than not. It is perfectly okay since we all receive 24 hours to expel accordingly; so please use yours efficiently. Organized time management will get you through the season with less gray hair (smile-no one likes them).

3. Food~ The ability to mind what you put in your mouth can go a long way. Parties, socials, gatherings, traditions etc, etc...”hint, hint “everything in moderation, right”? If not, studies believe it will take you all of 2012 and/or beyond to get off those extra pounds. So, think about your extra servings before consuming them “every time”. 

4. Exercise~ The ability to stay active will help keep your stress level and food moderation in an acceptable zone. How? Exercise is known to help reduce stress in more ways than one. Also, anyone that is able to stick with their exercise routine will certainly mind the additional servings readily available to them. They may not exercise as much, but I'm sure it will still occur.

With all the redundant holiday advertisements out there, and so many folks racking up ridiculous amounts of debt etc, I had an epitome that needed to be shared.
