Are you wondering how to survive this Holiday Season?

Do you get caught up in the fast pace to the point of stress and exhaustion?

What if, this year, you could create exactly what you want? How about changing the stress into joy? How about making more money, instead of going in the hole?

Reclaim your right to have your own unique version of the Holidays
What is the essence of this season for you? For most it’s about giving, and for Realtors®, it must also be about giving your service with joy. The more you love what you’re doing and the more thoughtful and generous you are, the more people will remember you – all year long and beyond!

Serve your clients’ special needs
If you are a Realtor®, this is the time to be around to take calls when everyone else is out shopping. Remember to keep your current and former clients in mind. Show them the value they are to you with cards, gifts and maybe bring them a gift personally. They’ll not only be grateful, but also remember to refer to you in the coming year. Think of what other special needs your clients might have. Go the extra mile and give them added value to your service.

Increase your self care and self maintenance
Do you want to be healthy this whole Holiday Season? Are you ready to commit to it? If so, be aware that you are taking time for yourself so that your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual needs are being met. Are you taking “down time?” Are you surrounding yourself with positive people? Are you aware to keep your self talk supportive and encouraging?

Start learning to switch your focus
Like attracts like and you get what you focus on. So when you’re thinking of the New Year, are you focusing on what you don’t want or focusing on what you do want? If you focus on your fears, then what you’re likely to get back is a negative return.

Instead, train your mind to ask the question, “So, what do I want?” Focus on your wants to the point where you can feel yourself having those wants satisfied and you’ll be amazed at what can happen.

Turn your resolutions into intentions
The common belief is that 99% of people forget their resolutions by the end of January. Instead of being one of the casualties this year, focus on your intentions, rather than resolutions.

Take time off; rejuvenate and enjoy
If you design your own unique version of the Holidays, remember to schedule in time to do nothing. For most of us at this time of the year, that is hard to visualize. Let’s face it; we have been programmed to be human doings rather than human beings. This Holiday Season, do yourself a favor and commit to spending some time just “being”. Try it, you might like feeling like a human “being” instead of a human “doing.”

You owe the above to yourself so that you can thrive now, in the Holiday Season, and going forward.
