If
you’re like me, you find much joy in the holiday season, but a good deal of
stress, too! Lots of parties, lots of traffic, and lots of mad dashes to the
grocery store. According to Ronald Nathan, PhD clinical professor at Albany
Medical College, “When we think about the holidays, we dwell on the past and
what went wrong, or we romanticize it and make it impossible to re-create.” So, what’s the secret to
keeping your life in harmony during the holidays?
I find that writing down my concerns in my journal and connecting with those
that I trust helps me navigate my holidays and, what’s more, enjoy them with a
greater sense of peace. The Mayo Clinic recognizes these two important measures
as parts of a well thought out plan of self-care in times of stress.
Would you like a safe space to talk and plan for a more peaceful holiday season this year? Then join me in a one-hour pre-holiday consultation. We’ll look at your fears and concerns and start you on the path to happier holidays. I’m offering this because I’d like to gift you with more peace and joy this year.
There are two upcoming days available! Click one of them to
schedule your first call.
If neither of those
dates work for you, call me at (760) 533-8141 and we'll find a date that works.
Happy holidays and I
hope to hear from you soon,
Karen Silsby
