3 Easy Steps for Creating Joyful Holidays
By Inez Bracy
|
Are you enjoying your holidays or do you view them as ‘something to get through’? You’ve suffered through family drama, trauma, lack of money, feeling alone, lack of confidence and a myriad of other emotions which negatively influenced your holidays.
Just think for a moment of the times that you hurriedly wrote lists, shopped, decorated, cooked (your most famous meal) and presented your best self to all of your guests. You went through the holidays in a flurry of activity almost creating whirlwinds all around you!
Imagine what it would be like to embrace this holiday season with the confidence of knowing you are in charge and that you hold the key to creating joyful holidays. This is easier than you think. Take a few minutes daily to visualize the holiday that you desire. See yourself successfully enjoying and completing tasks.
Beginning with the end in mind is most important to ensure coming close to the result you desire. Now let me assure you that you might still have some negativity crop up, but you will know how to handle it by practicing the three steps below.
1. Know your purpose. Nothing will bring you more joy than knowing who you are and why this holiday is important to you. Look within yourself to find the true meaning of the holiday for you then plan your activities around your truth. Write your list. Look around for opportunities to ask for help in completing your tasks. Set your priorities and follow through.
2. Stop worrying. Stop fearing what may or may not happen. Worrying places all of your energy in the future or the past and saps your enjoyment of “this moment.” Visualize your holiday, everything about it in perfect order. Now see yourself doing all of the wonderful things to create the joy you desire. Notice how good you feel as your plan unfolds. Take full responsibility for your desired outcome.
3. Expect joy. Plan each holiday activity with the expectation of creating joy. Whenever you’re faced with a decision, how to pair wine and dessert, choose the option that brings you closest to joy. Forgive yourself for anything that you might “miss” while planning your activity. It’s okay, this is your creation. Find something good in every situation and learn from it.
Appreciate all that you have and all that you’ve done. Bust through the myth and make your holidays joyful. Each time you do you create freedom and knowing in your life. You are free from having others determine your holidays and life for you.
Feel the inner peace that comes from knowing who you are and the freedom within. Creating this joyful holiday is an unexpected gift that you’ll give to yourself, family and friends. The festive air you’ve created brings joy and happiness to all.
Now, take some time and indulge yourself in reliving those happy moments. File them away one by one. Pull them out as you need them to give you the support and strength to continue living your life of freedom and joy.
