Holiday Rush

img_7271

Rushing is such a popular lifestyle and it causes many emotions and outcomes except JOY.  We are in a season of JOY and yet what many people end up doing at a professional level is…rushing.  Here are a few ways that we can live within this season, remember it and enjoy it:

  • Use a calendar to note 2-3 ‘holiday prep needs’that can be happily accomplished each day for the next 10 days.
  • When you find yourself in the midst of 1 item, find a rhythm and match your breath to your activity, ex: wrapping, addressing cards, baking or planning a holiday get together.
  • With a deep breath, take something off of your list that is never enjoyable as every holiday season comes and goes.  Let it go and feel the relief of not obligating yourself to possible empty traditions or expectations.
  • Now with a deep breath add something to that list that might feel unproductive, childish or whimsical and SOAK IT UP!  SWIM IN IT and SING ALONG!

Everything that is important and worthy, will be accomplished with a clear mind and a deep breath.
