Holiday Joy: The Reason for the Season

by

What is the reason for your season?

As I was reflecting on my year of focusing on the word purpose, I had a light bulb moment. The things that I accomplished this year may not have always aligned with my purpose. And to be honest, I can’t say that I am still clear on my one true purpose for my life. Yet, if I approached each task or situation with a purpose or goal in mind, I accomplished more and so can you.

So, as we move full swing into this holiday season 2019, I ask you to stop and think about the purpose of this season and how you would like to honor that. Then plan to focus or refocus some of your holiday to dos and/or activities to honor that purpose.

Wishing you holiday happiness!

Holiday Joy: Planning for Joy #3

by

Maybe you read my post about planning to assist with a joyful holiday season. Maybe you have a planning checklist going this holiday season. Maybe this is your first time reading one of my posts. Maybe you are searching for solutions to your holiday stress.

With just under four weeks until Christmas, you can alleviate some of the holiday stress by implementing a four-week holiday plan. If you already have a plan, it is a good time to check in at this point to see where you are with tasks.

Make the choice to convert some of that stress into joy this season.

 

Holiday Joy: Planning Joy #2

I know that it is challenging for some people to think about holiday planning early especially with already full schedules and to do lists. But if you always feel stressed during the holiday season and wonder how you will get it all done, making a plan and starting early will help.

There are just under six-weeks until Christmas and you can still implement a plan that while a little more jammed-packed than the eight-week plan, will help manage holiday stress to some degree.

Struggling to get control of your to do list, life coaching can help. Contact me for a free introductory session.

 

 

Holiday Joy: Healthy Eating

by

As I was reviewing my holiday checklist today, I started planning my holiday menus and meals for the next several weeks as part of my holiday plan. And I thought that I would share some healthy holiday eating tips with you.

I know that the holidays seem like a permission slip to overindulge with food and drink. It is hard to turn down treats that may only be prepared once a year or as part of a family tradition. You can enjoy holiday foods and drink by, again, planning and employing some of these tips:

• Eat mindfully.
• Practice portion control.
• Keep hydrated.
• Don’t skip any meals.
• Eat only when hungry and stop when 80% full.
• Plan menus and prepare food ahead.
• Have a plan for food consumption prior to attending a party.

By using these tips, you will be able to eat, drink and be merry this holiday.

Holiday Joy: Planning for Joy

by

Were you surprised by my post on planning early for a joyful holiday season?

Think about holidays past. Have you rushed through all the items on your checklist just to get them done, but realized at the end that there are many tasks that do not give you joy or satisfaction? Maybe they did bring joy at one time, but now you are doing them just because you have always done them.

As you begin the countdown to both Thanksgiving and your holiday celebrations, are there some items that you could take off your list? Or, if you feel that you can’t take them off the list, then what if you delegated the task or modified the task?

Take a moment today to review that holiday checklist and determine if all those items on it still matter. If they do, make sure you schedule time for them and spread them over the next several weeks. If they do not, then happily let them go.

With a little thought and planning and by making some choices, you can create a joyful holiday for yourself and your loved ones.

Wishing you holiday happiness.
