Are you having a Holiday or a HoliDAZE?


“Once again, we come to the holiday season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.” – Dave Barry

Happy Holidays!!! Or does it feel more like a HoliDAZE to you? I’ve noticed how we often allow ourselves to get stressed out and depleted during a season which is supposed to be a “holiday.” So today I invite you to pause, put the wrapping paper down, step away from the chocolate, stop thinking about those last minute shopping trips and actually reflect on how you’d like to experience this season by considering the following four questions:

What are gifts you can give to yourself this year? We often forget to include ourselves on our holiday gift list. What do you want that is just for you? And I encourage you to think beyond purchases, think about what you’d like to give yourself in terms of experiences like more playtime, downtime or creative expression.
What are the expectations and obligations you are holding on to that are becoming a bit of a drag? We often put a lot of pressure on ourselves during the holiday season and end up over-committing, over-spending, over-indulging, and overwhelmed. Are you over it?

What do the holidays really mean to you? The retail industry does a great job of projecting a lot of images of what the holidays “should” look like and many of us judge ourselves if ours do not match up. Instead of chasing expectations and meet obligations, what traditions do you want to create?
What are the gifts that you are inspired to give to the world, not just at Christmas but throughout the year? And I don’t mean gifts in a tangible form. What do you want to express more of? Perhaps you want to give the gift of laughter or love or peace or inspiration to more people. We ALL have unique gifts we are here to share so don’t be a Scrooge by not sharing yours!

I also invite you to listen to the special Holiday episode of my blogtalk radio show and hear an interview with Christine Arylo who shared 3 simple secrets to peace of mind during this holiday season.

I wish you joy, love, peace and health and celebrate the gift that YOU are to the world.

Love,
Christine

“As we struggle with shopping lists and invitations, compounded by December’s bad weather, it is good to be reminded that there are people in our lives who are worth this aggravation, and people to whom we are worth the same.” -Donald E. Westlake
