These last scrambling days before Christmas are here. As you brave the crazy, searching for that perfect gift or the 'this will do' gift, let me offer some advice to help prevent a breakout crazy episode.
1. Go Alone. It is much easier to zip in and out when alone. And you are forced to make a decision about what to buy.
2. This is the most important! Take your iPod and ear buds. Don't subject yourself to crowd noise or the Holiday music that blasts. You may love the music, but on another level it adds pressure to present buying. Load your iPod with a favorite album or playlist that makes you happy. Then waltz into the crowded mall or chaotic Walmart/Target and let the music play in your ears. It will relax you because there is a musical happening in your world that no one knows about. Feel free to take your time shopping all the while watch the stressed out moms and fumbling fathers and just think "I'm in a musical world. I can not be effected by all the crazy."
Try it. Then you can thank me for your most unstressed Christmas shopping ever.
Happy, merry times.
