The Key To A Happier & Calmer Christmas
Christmas is that time of year which can be really stressful, meeting with family, who you may or may not love (or even like) that much, getting everything organised and ready for that one big day, the presents, the food, the location, not to mention finishing the year at work or school and starting the holiday season, especially if you have children.
We have just come out of the Black Friday sales and you probably noticed that there was a frenzied energy around it too, regardless if you got into the hype or not it was ‘in the air’ in the collective field.
Additionally the theme with clients this week has been highlighting the need to focus on one thing overall…
Ground Our Energy & Connect With The Earth
Get centred, bring yourselves in alignment with what is best for your highest good and let go of the hype, as it blocks you from being in your flow.
This hyped up energy is not really just around Christmas; it’s been building all year, through different events that are occurring in the world ,but this time of year always heightens what is already occurring, so we get a final opportunity before the year turns to ideally focus and clear it. Therefore things come up for us to have to look at (or still try and avoid), to enquire why we feel the way we do and what we are willing to let go of, work through and bring in (ie compassion and kindness for each other and ourselves) ? Or remain right, even though at times being right is not always the ‘right’ answer.
When your energy is not grounded, centred and aligned to what is needed for you at each stage (not necessarily wanted, but needed) then you are more likely to get triggered, exhausted and overwhelmed or feel conflict within yourself.
There is likely some part of you looking externally for the answer from others, for them to be different, kind, understanding, perhaps open minded.
Here is the thing, the only person you can rely on to bring this to you is… YOU!
Take Some Time Out and Connect with Nature
One of the best ways to connect and ground with your base earth energy, is Meditation!
There are so many YouTube Meditation videos to choose from or you can sit under or along a tree and connect with the energy of the tree and earth, remember to thank the tree, for the exchange.
Connect with the energy of the earth in whatever way works for you….
When you are with people talk less and listen more. Enquire rather than give an opinion, so you still engage but hold the conversation where you would like it to remain, unemotional & non-confrontational. Ask them why they feel the way they do about the topic (if appropriate) it may open insight for both of you.
When you stay grounded, others around you will impact you less emotionally, (you can remind yourself that their ‘stuff’ is theirs and you do not need to get emotionally involved with it).
Walk, dance or move, so that you are not stagnant and sitting all day.
Breathe deeply each day. Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold it for two, breathe out for 4 seconds and hold it for two, do this for up to 4 mins at a time.
The key to making Christmas and the lead up to it happier and calmer is to listen in to yourself, honour and ground your energy. When you are balanced it’s like you are in the eye of the storm, you can see what is going on around you but you are the calm in the chaos.
Look at situations and events rather than get involved. See what you need to know from it, bring gratitude to every situation as best you can, as you can’t be grateful and angry or frustrated at the same time.
If you need further support please connect with me so I can support you further with seeing what is triggering you and holding that energy in place so we can ground it through together and you can enjoy Christmas and bring happiness and a sense of calm to it for everyone to enjoy.
