The holidays are here, and we are entering what we call the Holiday Red Zone. What this means is that the end goal is nearing, and we are under the stress of the season. You all know what I am talking about. Everyone is trying to get things done before the end of the year for work, attempting to find the right gifts for holiday giving, making plans for the get-togethers we can have again, and just trying to keep things together without fumbling the ball.

In football, the red zone is the final 25 yards before the end zone and the scoring drive. This is where the players either get incredibly focused and make the play, or they get anxious, antsy, and stressed and blow the game. Our goal this season is to help you make the play of the game and get those points on the board.

The first thing to do is make a list of what needs to happen this season, and then you can break down the steps to getting those tasks accomplished. This is something we do all the time to ensure daily tasks are completed, and then for each week, month, and quarter. This allows us to have a sense of accomplishment when we check things off, and then we also know that everything is completed, ensuring we don't miss out on tasks that seem small but may be the keystone to holding everything together nice and tight.

I know it sounds simple, but that is how it should be—nice and easy. When we can simplify our lives, we can reduce stress and enjoy more of our time together.

If you are having trouble getting the list together, an easy supplement that can help you focus is our Brain Fog Fix. This is a multi-magnesium powder formulated to help your muscles relax and even cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing your brain muscles to relax and think better.

Yours in health,
