What Do Holiday Cookies, Work, And Play Have In Common?

Moderation. Moderation is a hidden key to success. 

Seeing as we’re going into a new year soon, moderation is something we may want to keep in mind. Why?

Holiday cookies are super yummy and enjoyable. Without moderation you can overindulge and give yourself an aching stomach. On the contrary you could force yourself to abstain from the delicious treats and feel deprived. 

Maybe you’ve been slamming hours getting things done. There is certainly a time for that but it cannot be chronic. Do you want to burn out so soon in the new year?

In some cases, maybe we’re not working hard but hardly working; skating by day after day when you could really push a little harder. Evading a task feels good momentarily, but overcoming prolonged procrastination is satisfaction on a deeper level. 

If we’re on either extreme, our lives will be substantially less fulfilling, stress riddled, and devoid of fun. 

Let’s focus on enjoying life, diligently doing work that is fulfilling, and having a bit of healthy fun. These concepts are a beautiful trio, reminding us that without one, the other two get out of balance. 

These last days of the year, imagine what life would be like in this balance. Make a plan toward this with actionable steps. 

You have the potential to enter into the new year with more balance, vision, and moderation. That is truly a newer, healthier you.
