The Holidays have arrived! They
are a time for reflection, completion and celebration.
They are also a time to review what the
year has brought, and an occasion for gathering
friends and family together for joyful celebration.
There is electricity in the air as we begin to
prepare for the activities that are part of this
festive time. Lights, Tradition, Parties and Gift-giving
all contribute to the beauty of the season.
I always look forward to the creative decorations,
the traditional music (yes, even the corny stuff)
and the sparkle in everyone’s eyes as they
rush off to get caught in the whirlwind of shopping,
vacations and parties. Everyone is excitedly trying
to decide what might be the “perfect”
gift for their loved ones this year.

I have certainly painted a beautiful picture.
Unfortunately, not all experiences are joyful
during the holidays. The pressure to get everything
taken care of can override the spirit of giving
and joy. Commercials and advertisement contribute
to this overwhelming pressure. Also, many
families are spread across the country or even
the world. Travel plans and missing loved ones
can further add to our stress. Instead of a hug,
there has to be a quick phone call or email amidst
an already busy schedule. Trying to take care
of everyone and everything can be Very Stressful.
Consciousness requires that we pay attention
to our limits. When we are conscious we
see the entire picture before we take action.
We recognize both the positive and the negative,
so we can take the actions that serve us best.
Additional responsibilities during the holiday
can be overwhelming if not downright exhausting.
Additionally, if you do not have a family or if
you live far away from your family, the tendency
to feel isolated and alone can create
fear and depression. The pressure of buying
presents or feeling guilty because you didn’t
buy a present for someone can feel embarrassing
and uncomfortable. Gift giving can create confusion
in the psyche about what is valuable during
these optimistic and spiritually abundant times.

| What
is most important during the holiday season? As
we enter into the season, there is a way to approach
the shadowy aspects. We must first be conscious
that it exists. Don’t deny that you
can get completely caught up in the tradition
and expectations of the season. Second it pays to
have a strategy to help you focus when you
find the stresses building. Below are a few ideas
that may help you to manage your energy and stress
levels during this time. |
|
#1. Know and maintain your
personal balance and limitations. This includes
exercising, resting and eating well. You will
have more energy during the demanding times
if you take good care of your physical body.
#2. Remember your priorities. Narrow your
choices. Decide what you want before going
shopping. Stores are designed to work on your
indecision and your desires to please everyone.
#3. Watch your expectations and attachments.
Be open to the outcome of what the holidays will
be for you this year. Be careful not to compare
this year with other years or with other people.
#4. Observe your created levels of stress.
We all create our own tension. Do a daily check
in on how much you are really enjoying yourself.
Are you having fun? Are you doing too much?
#5.Value the quality time spent with close
friends and family.
|
| This
is the answer to and the intention of the Holiday
Season. Show up for yourself this year and
spend time with those you care for and love. You
don’t have to buy everyone – everything.
Or for that matter anyone – anything.
Your Presence is always enough. Enjoy!! |
