Holiday Craziness is upon us and sometimes you just Have To Get Away! Or would it be better to just keep the Craziness & the Bah Hum Bugs away to begin with?
Yes, there are several Stress-Management Techniques available. Eating well, getting plenty of rest, getting outside, getting regular exercise, taking a yoga class are some. These all serve well. But, the one that will serve you the greatest isn’t it that list.
Being able to Tap into Our Own Inner Wisdom and discovering what is best for you in each moment and following your own advice helps combat stress the most. Everyone has this ability. It’s a skill that you can cultivate. One way to cultivate it is to have a Spiritual Survival Kit on hand. One that helps support your intentions of the season. (Need help with setting your intentions? Try these 5 ideas!)
Creating A Spiritual Holiday Survival Kit can include a number of things and a number of options. These are things that need to resonate with you. First, you must create the intention you want for your holidays. Is it peace and quiet? Is it merriment? Is it a time for family-fun or intimate connection? Will you want to be active or have a period of quiet reflection ~ or somewhere in between. Once you understand your deepest desires and intentions, you can create your survival kit.

A Sacred Place ~ where no one ever knows your going ~ your secret hiding place if you will ~ where you can think on your own without intrusions.

2. Your Sacred Calendar ~ look at it now and schedule downtime in and around the activities that support your intention for the season.

3. A Sacred Connection ~ that person who doesn’t judge, who doesn’t tell you what you ‘should’ do but rather the person who you trust to simply have a cup of tea with who will just ‘be’ there for you. Think of that one person who is able to support you the most and create a time to share with them.
Creating Sacred Connection in on-line communities allows for support. The Living Your Truth ~ Soul Wise Living Community helps with this.
