It's that time of the year when more than normal we push ourselves to the side and really focus in on spoiling others and taking care of the needs of others.

When we push ourselves to our limits we ask a lot of our body and often to do so we ignore signs our body is giving us saying we need to slow down and take a rest, telling ourselves "I'll rest when vacation is here, but for now I NEED to keep pushing".
