What if you ditched shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday? What would happen if you made the decision to take a step towards a healthier mind by reducing your scrolling or crowded parking lots and stores? Can you pause for a moment to picture how it would feel different? Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to learn how to do this or need some guidance to make the change more lasting, I'd love to help.

A little background info:
According to google, the term 'Black Friday' was coined "in the 1950s, [when] Philadelphia police began using "Black Friday" to describe the day after Thanksgiving because of the heavy traffic and crowds caused by shoppers and tourists heading into the city for the annual Army-Navy football game...The concept of Black Friday spread beyond the United States in the early 2000s, as countries around the world adopted the tradition of post-Thanksgiving sales, often with the addition of online shopping events like Cyber Monday, as noted by Business Insider and Reptile's House."

Of course retailers and advertisers learned how to capitalize on the holidays turning them into something that is far removed from the meaning of the holiday.

Can you imagine embracing the power of saying 'No' this holiday season? Do you believe that 'no' is a complete sentence? Beginning to believe this concept, is an important part of establishing healthy boundaries. This simple yet profound concept can transform relationships, allowing you to prioritize your needs without guilt or explanation. If you'd like to soften the 'no,' that's a choice you may wish to make, but you're not obligated to. In my coming blog post I will expand on the notion that 'no' is a complete sentence.
