Well, hello, my friends, and welcome to the Live Inspired podcast Monday morning moments with John

O'Leary.

I record these so you and I can begin our days and our weeks and on on fire with a burst of

inspiration. Today we're going to be talking about preventing the holiday hangover. I know you're like,

O'Leary, where were you Thursday night? Well, we're with you now Monday morning, so let's get after it.

Cantor wrote this. It's not only the scenery you miss by going fast.

You also miss the sense of where you are going and why. So let me ask you a question.

Have you ever had a hangover? You maybe stayed out a little too late. You had one too many drinks.

Come on. Most of us have been

there but the kind of hangover that I'm referring to isn't the kind that a glass of

water and maybe a couple Thailand all can cure I'm referring to the holiday hangover

several years ago live inspired community member named Helen asked me on January 5th how she could get

over the holiday hangover that she was suffering from. You see, all the buildup and all the

excitement and all the planning, all the time away from work, the family gathered, the gifts exchanged.

All the preparation and the cooking, the eating, the opening of presents, racing

into parties, watching the clock strike midnight, and flipping the calendar had left her

in debt. Some of us understand, tired, and absolutely more than a little bit down.

And now she had to head back to work, maybe back to school, certainly

back to real life. Helen wanted to know how we could cure this kind of hangover, rather than

wait until a hangover sets in this year. I thought I'd share some sage advice right now from

a woman with nine and a half decades of

experience to help us prevent it from starting in the first place.
