Thanksgiving came and went, and now the December holidays are here. All the holiday events are going on – kids holiday events at school, shopping, planning for your holiday parties or which one are you going to attend, what to buy for whom, and the list goes on!
And guess what! YOU can do it, because you can! You do it all. You don’t have to be a parent to do all these and more! We’re never ready for the holidays, and every year, it seems to just drop in on us. Whether or not you’re ready, it’s here! Hmm, why is it always a surprise?
What are you doing to keep up with this frenetic energy!
What can you do to stay calm so you can do all the things that need to be done, and still save your sanity?
To start, plan things out accordingly. And for yourself, take 5 minutes to just BREATHE, close your eyes, and BREATHE.
Take those deep, slow breaths. Feel your heart beating, feel the breath going in and out.
Relax to give this time to really clear your mind, and know that things will get done. Relax . . .
In gratitude,
Irene
I love this time of the year and enjoy decorating. . . just don’t like to take it down. Needless to say, it is fun and I enjoy taking out all my holiday decorations.
We can go pretty crazy on our decorations, as we collect them through the years – and they must come out!
Just be mindful, all your holiday decorations can also create “clutter”. How close are they to each other as you place them on your mantel, tables, desks, etc. Be sure to allow the energy to flow . . . just follow the “2-finger method”. Allow at least two fingers between each item, and you’re good! Energy’s a-flowing! Happy Holidays!
