We want to wish you a joyful and abundant Holiday Season. We planted this tree in the front yard this summer. This year,we made it our Christmas Tree. I bought the peace and joy ornaments as this is my wish for all. My goal is to wish peace and joy to each person that passes by on our sidewalk. How can you wish joy to each person you meet or are in contact with this holiday season?

Hustle and Bustle

My hope for you and your family this holiday season is to slow down, take things off your schedule and just be with those family and friends that you love. Take time to reflect on all you DID accomplish this year. I hope you will do that now; take a few minutes to reflect on what you accomplished and what you are grateful for. In reflecting on the events this past week in our country, it is so crucial to put down technology (and especially any violent TV, Videos and Movies) and be present with those beautiful people around us. That is what I am doing this holiday season; we are closing the office for two weeks! It has been a busy year and it is time to bring in 2013 in a completely peaceful and calm place, fully ready for all 2013 has to bring. I sense it is going to be phenomenal! We are ready!

 

Family and the Holidays

Does it ever amaze you how frustrated and triggered you can feel when you are with family over the holidays? Our old patterns can get easily triggered when we are with all of our family for the holidays. I have been working with clients around this. Strategies we have created are:

• Practice Self-Care – Take care of you and let others know you may need to take care of you. Or just go take a walk when your stress level hits that 3-4 on a 1-10 scale.
• Breathe – Take deep breaths when things start to feel stressful. Get some fresh air.
• Exercise – Go exercise, do something healthy for you! Don’t leave this out.
• Set Limits/Boundaries – Do not take on too much, say NO when you are feeling overwhelmed. Overstimulation can stress us, we have to set boundaries and take time for us even during the holidays.
