As some of you might be aware, the #metoo movement touches me personally. In fact, I jumped right into the the viral wave of women sharing their experience with harassment and abuse merely hours after the movement got started.

Last week we talked about overcoming social anxiety and how a client of mine went from cancelling plans with her family to fully enjoying her social life again.
Today I want to talk about how...
I've recently had a couple of clients who had BIG shifts in their anxiety within a very short amount of time. I'm going to tell you about one of them today.
I'll call her Jackie.
Anxiety like Jackie's is very common.
Say, what?!
That's right. I want to invite you to toss 99% of your resolutions out the window.
Why?
More often than not, resolutions (1) arise from dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs, and (2) have an inherent "fix-it" approach.
Over the past few weeks, I read a couple provocative articles on the subject of holiday gift-giving and consumerism.
The first was from Paul Jarvis, who writes a newsletter I read weekly. In his last newsletter, he shared how he doesn't participate in the holiday tradition of gift-giving. Instead, for him and his wife, Christmas Day is a quiet day of resting.
There was something about his perspective that really appealed to me.
