Bring Tidings of Comfort
and Joy...to Yourself.
This year, be realistic with
your time and money.
Start early, plan well, and take care of
yourself.
- Simplify as much as
possible. Eat out. Use paper plates. If a holiday tradition
is old and tired, reinvigorate it or start a new tradition
of staying at home. Plan ahead. To help, chances are, your
favorite food website has a checklist for big holiday
events.
- Replenish your natural
energy by taking care of your body. Eat
right. Exercise (in
the crisp outdoors once in a while). Drink
water. Sleep.
- Energize your image. Give
yourself an early holiday gift or a great haircut, a brow
shaping, a pedicure with bright red polish, or a free
makeover at your favorite cosmetics counter and a purchase
of the most vibrant lipstick shade you'll actually wear.
- Keep a "joy
journal" this holiday season, in which you record the
funny things your kids say, joyful times you share, your
favorite things to do with your kids, your husband, and by
yourself, and all the things for which you are grateful. Use
your Joy Journal as a reminder of the facets of your
life-and this holiday season-that are really important.
- Deck the halls with items of
comfort and joy. Display photographs from past holiday
celebrations. Keep in full view reminders that you take care
of yourself…fresh flowers, indulgent hand crème,
inspiring music, and energizing scents, such as citrus or
peppermint.
- De-clutter. Here's an
effective technique, created by the Flylady, who is
committed to helping us all simplify and de-clutter. It's
called the 27 Fling Boogie: Go through your home with a
give-away box in hand and toss 27 items.
- Keep the romance alive. We
all know about the prescription for a weekly date night. We
also know how hard it is to make that a reality. Meanwhile,
many married couples report that the simple act of kissing
is the first part of intimacy to disappear. Schedule a
15-minute kissing date at least once a week, and marvel at
its power to reinvigorate your relationship.
- Spend the season with your
most energetic friends. Instead of letting the Scrooges in
your life yank you down, send them something sweet
from a Secret Santa. A little anonymous enchantment may be
just what they need.
As you commit to keeping your
spirit centered this holiday season, engage your kids in the
process.
Recognize your children as the
gifts they are. The gift to you as a mother, and your gift to the world.
Strive to greet each day as though it were Christmas and await,
with reverence, the surprises that your family will help you
uncover. Today and every day.

Energize for
a Happy Holiday Season:
Four Tips for Moms by Susie
Michelle Cortright
Decking the halls and spreading
good cheer takes a lot of energy, and no one knows that like a
mom. Here are some tips to make sure you enjoy every last fa-la-la.
1. Rise and SHINE.
Greet each day in the right frame of mind. Here's one
technique to help you do so. Inspired by Arnold Patent's
"Ideal Day Exercise," this method is so empowering,
you may find yourself skipping past the coffeepot.
As you lie in bed, summon the
physical feeling that accompanies unabashed, unbridled joy.
You know the feeling, though it's one you may have felt only a
few times in your life. It's a feeling that's impossible to put
into words, through I once heard it described as the urge to
throw your shoes way, way up in the air, and I think that's
accurate. Seize that feeling. Experience that sense of joy
fizzing inside you. Keep hold of it until you feel as though
you're ready to pop. Then pop out of bed.
I follow this with a mantra or
saying that I repeat, throughout the day, as a reminder to
return to my center of joyful energy. My favorites: "What
we focus on expands," "Joy to the world,"
and "This
is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in
it." Recite a
rousing quote, a line from a song, an inspiring verse from your own religious faith,
or make up your own saying.
2. Stay Centered.
An energetic and peaceful holiday season is possible only when
you strive to live with integrity the whole year through. Right
now, ask yourself: What do you value, above all else? What comes
second? Third? How important is your spirituality, your family,
your time for yourself, your profession?
After some thought and
reflection, rank your top priorities on a Post-it-Note where
you'll see it throughout the day (mine's on my computer
monitor.)
Use your list when asked to make commitments and
compromises. If the request doesn't jibe with your list, you
don't just have permission, you have an obligation to say no.
This list of priorities may set
the course for new holiday traditions, as well. Perhaps you will
donate toys, books, and food to charities. Perhaps you will help
serve dinner at a homeless shelter instead of indulging in a
huge holiday meal. Bringing joy to the world outside your own is
one of the most energizing things you can do.
For a moment or two, indulge
the ghost of Christmas Past. What memories immediately come
forth that evoke a fond nostalgia? For me, it isn't the gifts
or the shopping or even the parties. It's rocking my infant,
alone, by candlelight, to "Silent Night." It's letting
the 2-year-old crack the eggs for the cookies, and seeing the
pride on her floury face.
Decide what the holidays are to
you. Then make a plan to weave more of those activities into
your holidays, and reduce the rest.
3. Deck the Halls with Light
and Love.
Don't let commercialism spoil your fun.
Make the simple promise to
yourself that, this year, you'll enjoy your holiday shopping.
Brainstorm ways you can make this happen.
For me, the mall is a
giant energy drain. The look of worried resignation as a shopper
hands over her credit card tells me that she's shopping out of a
sense of obligation and not one of joy. And it sours my holiday
spirit.
Instead, I carve out
an afternoon all to myself. I put on an Andrea Bocelli CD, sip Chai
tea from a giant mug, and curl up with a fleece blanket to surf
the Internet and page through catalogs. That's how I find just
the right something for everyone on my very short list. When it
ceases to be fun, I stop.
I so enjoy shopping this way
that, throughout the year, I bookmark sites that offer just the
right items. Sites such as GAIAM, which couples a commitment to
sustainable commerce, the environment, and personal health with
natural products for relaxation and self-care.
If you find the materialism of
the season draining your energy, commit to making an attitude
shift. If you want things to be different this year, only you
can make it so. Take the lead for your family, and live in such
a way that you prove less stuff really does equal more
fun.
Maybe you'll take the money you
usually spend on one-too-many toys and enjoy, instead, a weekend
family getaway. Maybe you'll make homemade goodies, such as
picture frames, home movies, or goodie baskets, which the whole
family helps to create.
Maybe you'll bag the
traditional gift-giving and start a new tradition. In our
family, it goes like this: Each guest brings a wrapped gift of
roughly the same dollar value. We sit in a circle and each
person, in turn, has the option of taking a gift that's already
been opened or opening a new one. It's fun. It's festive. It
gets everyone moving and talking, and it switches the focus to
the relationships and the event…not the gifts.
One of the best ways to avoid commercialism is to simply turn off the TV and its
advertisements for the newest plastic plaything. Return instead
to the educational standbys…books, blocks, water, sand, and
time with mom and dad.
Momscape humor columnist Linda
Sharp once asked a group of kids to name one thing they'd like
from their parents that wouldn't cost a dime. The answers:
"Listen to me, please," "Teach me to cook,"
"Stop being so busy," "Hug me more,"
"Read to me…"
Hard to wrap, but easy to give.
