"The most important things in life are not things."

I feel like this time of year many people, including myself, get very stressed easily. Everyone is busy and has a lot to get done on a time crunch. Try to breathe and allow yourself to have some "you" time every now and then. When you're stressed or worked up about things, then you aren't as capable to accomplish what you need to get done. Not dealing with your stress will affect your overall health, mood, and productivity.
