Grief, Joy and the Holidays... Week One.

12/1/2021

4 Comments

 
Hi everyone, Yvonne Heath here with Love Your Life to Death.
I am recording this on December 1, 2021, and I wanted to talk about
grief, joy and the holidays.

Maybe you are celebrating Hanukkah, Kwanza, Christmas or
the holidays. Whichever your beliefs are, December tends to be a time
of reflection or celebration. Some people are SO excited for the holidays. They love the lights, the trees and the gifts. For others it is the hardest time of the year. That is the part that I would like to change.
First of all, for those that are celebrating Christmas they are so stressed. They are so overwhelmed and so over worked. My question is...
What can you do to change that?

I encourage you to watch this entire (short) video for more great tips.
We will be talking about this throughout the month, and if you have any great ideas you would like to share please let us know!

Do nothing is an option.
Underdo is another.
Overdo not required.
Too much expectation of ourselves and others happen.
Try to KISmas it: Keep It Simple mas.

Thanks Yvonne!

Hi Yvonne. I'm a bit late to this vlog, but I want you to know how much I appreciate your positive message! Coincidentally, last week I encouraged someone close to me to let go of her notion of what a 'perfect' Christmas really was, as she never seems to be satisfied with the outcome and she is always miserable afterwards. Her experience is always full of stres and never lives up to her expectations. I encouraged her to make a positive change so she won't just repeat the same negative, unhealthy, pattern this year. She appreciated my advice, so I'm hoping she will take it - and that others in her life will go along with it harmoniously. One thing I suggested was to simplify gift giving. I explained that last year in our housefhold we had opted to get just one gift for each other person and it worked out very well! It was less stressful, less time consuming to get ready, less expensive, and it was a surprisingly fun challenge to choose just one item that we thought each other person would enjoy. The best gift of Christmas, to me, is just the opportunity to slow down and relax with my family. I hope others will find ways to simplify and enjoy with the special people in their lives too.

Hello Sandra, thank you so much for sharing this, for caring enough for this woman to help her see that she can make different choices and for simplifying gift giving. We can in fact make any special time of year more special by focusing on what really matters- Just Showing Up for ourselves and each other!! xoo
