Creating a Joyful Holiday Season

Creating a Joyful Holiday Season for me!

There are 8 more days to Christmas. Are you feeling frantic or stressed? Often we set ourselves up to be Superwomen or forget this should be a joyful time of year. So stop and reassess how you can make it better in the next week.. Can you let go of anything on your list?

Setting intention to live more from your heart is the formula for living the life you want. A good first step is to sort through all the “shoulds, coulds, and woulds” that can get in the way of hearing what your heart wants you to know:

• What matters most to you during the holidays?

• What’s important to you?

• What motivates you to do what you do?

If you could have the ideal holiday season, what would it be like? What would you do? In what ways could you enjoy it? Use Young Living’s Peace & Calming, StressAway or Joy essential oil blends and do the Quick Stress Technique. After a couple of minutes of breathing and enjoy the oil, write down your vision of the holidays:

Make a list of the current obligations and activities you have traditionally done.

Which ones will not help you create your enjoyable holiday season? Are there ones you can modify to reduce your obligation overload? For example, send out New Year’s letters in January rather than December cards, don’t make cookies, etc. Cross the ones you can off your list. Modify ones that you can on your list. Commit to this.

Select an essential oil. Visualize how your holiday will be different this year.

Just Breathe & Enjoy.
