What Does the Holiday Season Really Mean to You?

Do you love the traditions of the holidays? Do you love how your family gets together and shares love and food and gifts and ceremony? Do you love the joy you feel? Do you love sharing love and compassion with everyone you meet?

Or do you have a different experience around the holidays?

Many of the people I talk to tell me they feel a ton of obligation, stress, and overwhelm during this season. Or they feel lonely, depressed, and left out.

And for others, the holidays is another reminder that someone they love is gone.

What does this season really mean to you? Take a few minutes to get honest with yourself. Now ask yourself how you would like to feel this season?

If you feel lonely, perhaps you’d like to feel connected, if you feel sadness and loss, perhaps you would rather feel hopeful and loving.

Get clear on how you feel and how you’d rather feel.

Now, consider these two questions:
#1 Who would I be if I could choose to feel . . . (the way you would rather feel . . . . hopeful and loving, connected, etc.)?
#2 Who wouldn’t like it if I began feeling that way now?

You really CAN change the way you feel, but until you get clear on why you feel the way you feel, your subconscious programming may keep you stuck there for much longer than necessary.

Remember – emotions and your subconscious thoughts create your current reality.

If you’re thinking lonely thoughts and feeling lonely and left out, you are much more likely to attract more things to feel lonely and left out about. But if you change your thinking, even slightly, you can redirect your reality. Click to tweet
