[00:00:00] With the holidays around the corner, tune in for some considerations as you plan.

[00:00:09] Hello and welcome to MoMo 634, the daily podcast chock full of faith-filled inspiration and

[00:00:16] motivation.

[00:00:17] Please like, share, and subscribe.

[00:00:21] MoMo 634, Motivational Moments just for today.

[00:00:40] Last year, when I offered my list of tips, which I've linked below, I mentioned that

[00:00:47] it's easy to get so wrapped up in perfectionism that you miss being present in the moment.

[00:00:54] The mental, not to mention physical, exhaustion from the pressure involved can be excruciating.

[00:01:01] That can include anyone, but for those of us in the neurodivergent community, that added

[00:01:08] internal pressure can be a game-changer and deal-breaker for our mental well-being.

[00:01:16] A couple of episodes have focused on introverts, and folks like me, ambiverts, who struggle

[00:01:24] with too much people-y time.

[00:01:27] Listen to the linked episodes and make some plans now to address whatever challenges the

[00:01:34] holidays pose for you.

[00:01:36] If the cleanliness factor for some OCD subtypes is an issue, or the subtype that avoids cleaning

[00:01:44] altogether because of the germs, consider hiring help.

[00:01:49] Or if funds are tight, bartering services, lessons, babysitting, errands, or tasks.

[00:01:57] If you really must do it yourself, think about cleaning with essential oils.

[00:02:03] Not only are they non-toxic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial, the smell can be uplifting for

[00:02:12] mental health and wellness.

[00:02:16] If perfectionism is a thing, consider going out for a meal or purchasing a prepared meal from

[00:02:23] your local supermarket or favorite restaurant.

[00:02:27] If budget is an issue, consider potlucking with family and friends to take the financial burden

[00:02:33] off and the need to do everything yourself.

[00:02:39] The spirit of the holidays is about being in the moment with those you love.

[00:02:45] Focus on felicitations, not frustrations.

[00:02:49] In fact, that's a pretty good meme for today.

[00:02:55] Most of all, entrust your cares and worries to the Lord.

[00:03:00] 1 Peter 5-7 says, Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

[00:03:09] How do you handle the busyness of the season?

[00:03:12] Chime in below.

[00:03:17] Thanks for listening to Momo 634.
