Wait a minute, not so fast! The real purpose of the season is to get us to slow down, move away from the usual routine and to focus on each other. That focus should carry us into the new year and beyond. Here is a tip. When you are under pressure, for what ever reason, think back to the eve or the day of what ever your favorite holiday was this recent season. Hold that thought and ask your self what made it special? How did you feel? Take a moment, relish and recapture the feeling. It is there for the reliving.
Be careful not to let the January blahs get you. All the wonders of family, friends, holidays are with us all the time. Perspective on things is what makes the difference. If you don't like the reality you have created, change your perspective which will change your behavior and that in turn, folks, changes the reality you create. Sounds simple? It is and it isn't. I think this ability we have to change our reality is what traditionally is called New Year's Resolutions. Few make to February because it is hard work
The process I am talking about takes practice, concentration, mental work, and courage. Try it.
Here is another tip: do something new in your life that is physical and requires some discipline and regularity. I recommend yoga for example. Recently I went back to my practice and find new clarities of thought and a feeling of well being.
Running, gyming, cycling, walking, any thing that requires physical and mental discipline will do wonders for you.
A final thought for you: do something for some one else.
