Happy Tryptophan-Induced Coma: Day 2 |
Congrats, if you're reading this it means you survived the first stage of the holidays (and you probably didn't murder anyone)!And I am proud of you for definitely not choking out your annoying relatives or the surprisingly racist neighbor you asked to join Thanksgiving dinner on a whim. I'm not saying you had to be a saint, but you made it through. Only 30 more days until Christmas, right? ๐ฌ Look, life can be stressful. Even if you love your family and y'all get along like a black-and-white sitcom, this season can still be stressful. It's stressful to plan events and parties. It's stressful to go to them when you don't know everyone. It's stressful to buy gifts you're not sure will be received well, and the pressure to find the perfect gift for someone important can be overwhelming. But it doesn't have to be. That's not actually a future that is set in stone, because the future doesn't exist yet. It's all made up from here. I know there's a lot of "think positive!" bullshit swirling around the internet and our brains. We're just gonna have to buck up and find the bright side of everything. Or we put up with a lot of crap and tell ourselves that it makes us better people than them when we do it. Or we hope that enough mulled wine or eggnog will help matters. That's never backfired. Or we just buckle down and do it. Get off yer ass and start tying pretty ribbons! Who cares how tired you are by the new year!? Because that's the only way through, right? Just lie back and think of Christmas. No. You get to make up a future that's a lot more fun. A future that feels quiet and peaceful inside. One that feels, dare I say it, jolly. Introducing... Unflappable for the Holidays: A Short Workshop on Staying Centered Amongst Other PeopleThis online 1-hour workshop will teach you:
Live Workshop: Wednesday, November 29th, at 11am PST/2pm EST When you know the subtle difference between your energy and other people's, you become unflappable. When you can feel yourself about to react from your past programming, and you can instead respond intentionally, you become unflappable. When people pleasing, martyrdom, overextending yourself, and putting everyone else first all become optional, you become unflappable. Unflappable holidays are happy holidays. Give yourself the best gift possible this year.
