Yo guys, what's going on? It's Timmy Hamm, aka Sloth, artist, illustrator, designer, back with another daily shorts. Guys, it's like, what is it, December 6th? And I was counting the days last night that we have left in 2017.
Do you know, we literally only have 25 days left until the new year. My mind hurts by thinking about that. It's like this year has flown by. So insanely crazy.
25 days left in 2017. I'm pretty excited. I'm like really pumped for 2018. 2017 has been awesome and I hope everyone's had an incredible year.
My buddy Willie actually has a podcast on here and he hit me up and asked if I'd share a holiday tip. And you can check out his podcast. I believe it's The Practical Tips. He's usually on like the top 10 of Anchors, so just go there, check him out, Willie.
More Willie. And so I thought I'd share what I shared on his podcast on here. And if you want to listen to his, you can too. And, you know, as we're coming into 2018 and we're thinking about finishing the year strong and holidays are coming and all this craziness is coming, stress, you got to get things for people.
You got a family in town. Like all that stuff. One of my tips to you guys is pick a day before Christmas, any day, whatever day that is, just not Christmas and make sure it's before you guys have family or relatives coming to town or before you go out of town. If you work a normal nine to five or if you work for yourself, it doesn't matter.
Just take 24 hours, call in sick, use one of your vacation days, do something and take the day to yourself, treat yourself. We're so caught up in giving to people. I'm like an extreme giver. Like I love giving and I love saying yes to things and I'm a people pleaser, which a lot of times that gets me in trouble because I say yes to too many things and I'm getting a lot better at saying no.
But one of the things is we forget is that we need to take time for ourselves. So in order for us to be able to give more to other people, to give back to the world, to the universe, to this thing we call life, to give back our passion, like we need to be recharged and refueled. So my challenge to you guys is before Christmas, before the madness starts, take a day and treat yourself, whatever that is. If you are tight on cash, just take a day off.
Don't go out and buy yourself. Just take a day off and watch movies, hang out, eat good food. Just have a second birthday. Just do something you love to do for a full day.
And I think this works best if it's a day when no one else is taking off and it's just a random day. A lot of times we forget that like, yo, you can take a day off that isn't a holiday, you know? I think it usually works better that way. So my challenge to everybody before Christmas comes, before 2018 comes, treat yourself in whatever way that is.
Just take a day to yourself, buy yourself something, go out, eat, and have fun. And also, do it by yourself. Don't make this a huge thing with friends. I think it's good if you spend the time with yourself and enjoy yourself and reflect on how awesome your life is and all the blessings.
And if you haven't had a good 2017, take this time to treat yourself because 2018 is going to be your year. So I hope everyone is having a good day. It's hump day, Wednesday. Get through the week.
I love you guys. I'm out. Peace. Flutterbliss.
