Ok, I just checked the calendar and there are only five
weeks until Thanksgiving!! Whoa… and only nine week until Christmas!! Do you feel the stress coming on? How about considering a minimalist holiday? Strip away the holiday trappings and get down to the essentials!
Tap into what is of
greatest value.
·
Adjust your expectations and commitments
according to your values.
Pace yourself.
·
Beware of over-committing. What do you want to do this holiday
season? Who do you want to spend the
holidays with?
·
Start a holiday planning schedule that will
allow margin for mind, body, and soul.
Your schedule should reflect your values.
·
Budget wisely.
Stop over-spending and live within your means! This will reduce much tension and stress!
Cherish the small
stuff.
·
The little notes, the handmade gifts; these can
be more meaningful than expensive store bought gifts.
·
Time is a gift in itself. How much time will you spend with those you
cherish.
Keep your home
simplistically tidy.
·
Stay on target with your weekly green cleaning routines
and you'll avoid the trap of a mad cleaning spree before company comes!
·
Stay well stocked with great, non-toxic, aromatherapy green cleaning products.
You can enjoy this upcoming holiday season with less stress with the right focus!
Stay tuned for more encouraging tips to navigate the
holidays.
