Creating Holiday Bliss for yourself! (part 2)

We are getting closer to the holidays how are YOU doing?
I put the emphasis on YOU, as YOU are important and celebrating the Holidays can be done YOUR way.
I get it… you think of everyone else. But where are you in the planning?

Here are some more tips to help you create Holiday Bliss for YOURSELf!

• Saying “no” without feeling guilty: especially during this season it is important that you stick to what you can do and what not. And deep in your heart you know what you want, and what not. Stay healthy by acknowledging your own feelings and intuition and set your boundaries.
  Be realistic: don’t say yes, when you mean “no”, stand in your own power. You can’t do it all.
  There is nothing that you SHOULD do.
• Simple Holiday Gifts: going to a Holiday party? Bring a homemade gift. It’s fun to make a pot of your most favorite soup, divide it over mason jars and gift it with a beautiful card. You may be different but for sure it will be appreciated. And of course you can freeze the rest to enjou yourself on a cold winter day.
• Do less and enjoy the bliss! Take care of your own calendar and plan lots of time for yourself: fun time and relaxation time. You really don’t have to go out 4 nights a week if you don’t feel like it or because others expect you to. Listen to your intuition when it comes to making decisions. It is perfectly fine to hang out on the couch in your PJ’s with a book and a hot chocolate when you feel like it.Reduce the stress by focusing more on what’s important for you and less on what others think you should be doing or having. Maybe you’re longing for an extra day off work… go for it!

What’s your favorite way to dis-stress, and sharing lots of love and laughter with your precious family?

Happy Holidays with lots of love!
