The holiday season is upon us and this Happiness Coach wants to share a few of her favorite ways you can keep it happy.
- Remember to BREATHE. Take 3 conscious breaths when you start feeling frazzled.
- Choose LOVE. Given the opportunity to argue, don’t. Go to your heart and choose to feel love instead. It’s useful to put your hand right on your heart and evoke the feeling.
- Don’t believe everything you think. Most of it’s recycled from yesterday. Challenge what you are thinking. Is it going to get where you want to go?
- You get what you focus on. Notice where your attention is going – is that where you want it to go? If not, shift it.
- At the end of the day write down at least 3 things you are grateful for and feel them deeply.
- Really get into the spirit of giving. How much goodness can you share? How much goodness can you take in?
- Remember, there is a difference between reacting and responding. If you want to make sure your holidays are happy, practice making a positive choice in the second between the two.
- Peace can be a conscious choice. Practice that choice a lot this time of year.
- Look for new ways to appreciate those in your life. Go out of your way to let them know how they are valued. Go deeper.
- Ask yourself, “What habits, thoughts, feelings and actions are in my Voluntary Control that will elevate my state of being?” I’ll bet there are lots!
- Remember, this is the season of Light. How can you be a light in the world? Practice beaming that light!
- Remember that when you change the way you look at things the things you look at change. Create some new ways of seeing things.
