Hi ,

Do you shop on Black Friday? I don't. I prefer shopping on #ShopSmall Business Saturday. It makes me happy to find and support small businesses both for things I need for my business and for holiday gifts. If there's a small business you love to support, hit reply and send me the link. Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday and I'll be shopping small.

This week's 5 Things reflects some things that made me happy as wells ways to control things that can cause anxiety. The most clicked Thing from last week is at the end. Enjoy!

And, now, 5 Things for you to read and listen to...

1) How to Read Less News But Be More Informed, According to a Futurist

I enjoyed this article a lot for the tips on how looking beyond your usual sources can expand your knowledge. My favorite tips are #4 Hit The Road and #6 Chill Out.

2) Your Brain Is Not for Thinking

How the brain/body connect and help you make decisions about what will make you feel better, especially when you're experiencing anxiety. And who isn't these days, at least now and then?

3) Which of these 6 time traps is eating up all your time?

Which time trap do you fall into most frequently? Me? #1.

4) Travel Blogger Recreates Holiday Pics With Household Items. Results Are LOL

This made me happy and laugh out loud.

5) Listen. I've been a fan of Dan Harris since I discovered his book, 10% Happier, about his journey as a skeptic who discovers meditation. Recently, Dan Harris was a guest on the Tim Ferris podcast. It's a wide-ranging interview covering Harris' experiences as a reporter and anchor on ABC News and how he came to discover and fully embrace meditation. These guys have a good time throughout the conversation.

And finally, if you're curious, the Most Clicked Link last week was ...
