Holiday Helper #9 Take Care of Your Body

December 15, 2010 by Julie Lusk

Take care of your body. Don’t overeat, over drink, or overplay.  It saps your vitality and diminishes your ability to enjoy the holidays.

Protect your energy.  Learn to celebrate without abusing your body.

I’m doing yoga and taking walks almost every day.  What steps are you taking?   Add your comment below…

Holiday Helper #8 Give Meaningful Gifts

December 14, 2010 by Julie Lusk

Give meaningful gifts.  Give blood.  Give your presents (buy something, make something) – and give your presence and pledge your time and attention – don’t just give tickets to a cultural or sports event – plan to go along and share the experience together.  Volunteer to babysit.

Remember to put yourself on the gift list.  Treat yourself to a gift that’s just perfect for you.

What’s the most meaningful gift you’ve received or given?  Please let us know in the comment box.

Holiday Helper #7 Turn Obligations into Energizers.

December 13, 2010 by Julie Lusk

Turn obligations into energizers.  Rituals and traditions that characterize our celebrations can stimulate spiritual reflection, excitement and wonder.

Even exciting tasks, repeated year after year, may turn into obligations.  Creatively update tasks so they provide new energy.  If anything conjures up an image of drudgery, try a new approach that can energize you.

Traditions can help us get through the difficult times when our feelings don’t quite match the occasion.

How are you updating your holiday traditions?  Please let us know thru the comment box.

Holiday Helper #6 Set Priorities

December 10, 2010 by Julie Lusk

Set priorities.  List all the things you want to accomplish.  Cross out unnecessary activities.

Refuse to suffer.

Do unpleasant tasks as quickly and painlessly as possible, then reward yourself.

Keep for yourself the activities you enjoy, even if they aren’t essential or could be done by others.  You need them.  They nurture you.

What are your priorities?  Please share your comments below.

Holiday Helper #5 Make positive contact with others.

December 8, 2010 by Julie Lusk

Make positive contact with others. At parties, make sure you have a good conversation with several people.  If parties aren’t your bag, make contact in some other situation (a neglected neighbor? with a religious group?)

If your friend or family list is too short, look around for others in the same boat.  Try volunteering at Meals on Wheels or the crisis shelter.  Someone in your community needs your love.  Reach out to others – for both of your sakes.

How are you reaching out during the holidays?  What’s your style?  Please comment below.
