Christmas Party at the Ohop Grange, 1926
That joyous time of year when we go to Grandma and Grampa’s house to “celebrate” with all those relatives we haven’t seen since last year.
Uncle George, who tells the same elk-hunting-in-the-mountains story every single year, ignoring all the family’s glazed eyes and sudden increase in alcohol consumption. (He only went hunting once, in 1972, nearly froze his tush off, and vowed never to set foot outside again. The antlers on the wall in his study? He bought them off eBay.)
Madison, that cousin who works in Manhattan and takes particular delight in cornering you to tell you about the darling little cashmere sweater she bought (on sale!) at this marvelous little boutique, and how it would look so divine on you if they only carried plus sizes.
Grandma, who pinches your cheeks and tells you lovingly that you look like you could use a good meal and haven’t you (found that right person to marry) (decided to have babies) (decided to have babies so you’ve found somebody) yet?
Hiding out in the closet with a quart of eggnog looks really good about now.
Into this season of (oh) joy comes Tina Robbins of Open Roads Coaching. She’s written a gorgeous little safety manual for you called Over the River and Through the Woods: A Map for Making it Through the Holidays.
Tina’s worksheets and planning pages will help you learn how to reduce stress, prepare for parties and family gatherings — critical information for introverts! — and deal with too much food and too much shopping for the people in your life. She gives targeted tips on how to minimize the effects of stress on your body. She tells you how to prepare for those difficult family members (like cousin Madison) and what you can do to turn the situation around without causing ill feelings in return.
And if all else fails, she tells you the One Secret that you must have in your pocket — the one step that will get you out of the trickiest of family situations.
She’s offering all this in three packages —
- ebook only
- ebook plus two audio exercises to help you remain calm and conserve your energy
- and the Gold Package of ebook, audio exercises, and a 30-minute personal coaching session.
The value of these packages? Way higher than the absurdly low prices she is charging.
Go see Tina, buy the book… and learn how to make your holidays merry and much less stressful this year.
ps: If that’s not enough to convince you, she’s offering a free gift to get you started. It’s awesome. And it really helps!
