Â
They are packed full and stressful with family. And we Alphas are usually in charge of making sure EVERYONE ELSE gets what they want.
Â
You try to
protect every last bodyâŠ(not limited to and even including visiting family dogs)âŠBUT you. Â
So how can we take back YOUR
holiday?
Â
Pick ONE word, as your energy and moodâs focus.
Â
My word this holiday season is: Easily.
Â
I am focused on doing things EASILY.Â
Â
I am choosing to decline tasks that donât FEEL EASY.Â
Â
I will step back from any situation over the holidays that begins to get stressful or complicated.Â
Â
Not Easy? NOT INTERESTED.Â
Â
Â
And next, figure
out the ONE thing you really want to happen over Christmas/New Years. The ONE thing youâll take steps to ensure,Â
plan and control.Â
Â
Why?
Â
Because I recommend that you prepare yourself to let go of, get unattached to and take the âit has to happenâ control/planning energy off EVERYTHING else.
Â
Done perfectly, you communicate to your family what your ONE thing is. (So they know better than to impede it!)
Â
You can also invite them to figure out and each share their
âONEâ must happen thing is.
Â
This introduces total flexibility into the holidays which will prevent a great deal of drama, demands and chaos.
Â
My ONE must happen thing?
Â
My kitchen remodel and itâs last major bits - stone countertops and granite sink arrive December 7th & 8th. Thatâs
it!
Â
(Note: Only an Alpha decides to update her 48 year old kitchen with less than 2 months to Christmas, in an island country that considers being âlaid backâ a national aspiration. )Â Â
My expectations outside of that are set to LOW.
Â
Pick ONE thing to control.
Pick ONE focus to hold yourself steady.
Â
And let the rest of the holidays come and go. (Easily.) Weâll be fine.
