Ahhhhhh The holidays!
When I reflect and compare to how the holidays were for me in the past and what they are to me today, I am so amazed! In the past, I seemed to be so caught up in the stress of gift buying, baking, decorating, parties... and so on. But, now I see the beauty in the holiday season. This year, I am really feeling the energy of "The holiday spirit". Notice I said SPIRIT. It is the spirit of Christmas that IS the holiday season. Without the spirit, there would be no holiday it would just be any other day.
I challenge you to let go of the holiday stress! Keep in mind that a gift doesn't always have to be something tangible. Give the gift of time, give a big hug, tell someone how special they are, make a homemade gift or share a happy memory. Of course it is fun to give gifts too; especially when you stumble upon something that you know a certain someone would love! But, I guess what I'm saying is…do not just buy gifts to buy a gift, but to give a gift. Give a gift that is authentically from your heart. In addition, wrap those gifts in love and joy. Don’t stress over the piles of wrapping paper . Think about it, do you want to be given gifts like that? Who does?? You know yourself that you can just feel the energy of a thoughtful gift so be conscious of what you are giving and how you are wrapping it. Wrap it with intentions of love.
The stress of celebrating the holiday..... REALLY??? Since when did celebrating become stressful? Okay maybe if you are the one entertaining you might get a bit stressed out, but if you are stressed about going to a party then that is strange! I recently blogged on how you should feel in your holiday outfit http://harmoniclifeandstyle-blog.blogspot.com/ and it is all about dressing your holiday personality and what makes you feel fabulous! So you show up to this holiday bash in your fabulosity and your stressed out about talking to this one or that one, seriously? You are there to celebrate the spirit of the holidays and the good cheer of mankind! You are not there to 'one up' someone or impress others. Be in the energy of having fun! If you are not feeling the vibe of certain conversation then choose another, and another until you find the perfect energy fit for you! I will not tolerate stress in having fun and I now challenge you to do the same!
Shift your energy and complete this season filled with spirit. Constantly remind yourself of what holidays are really about. Choose to be the energy of the spirit of Christmas! Celebrate and enjoy the goodness in mankind. If you allow yourself to be in this positive energy then you will carry it into the new year.
I don't know about you, but I do not want to start off the new year exhausted mentally and physically from the stress of the 2009 holidays. I want to start off 2010 feeling fresh and alive because the new year is full of possibilities! I choose to see all the positive promises of entering a new decade of 2010 ~ join me in this journey for authenticity!
Positively Party on people!
CHEERS J
