What can you do to reduce stress during the holiday season:
Enjoy It!
OMG, this sounds so off-hand and superficial. However, it is the shortest possible way I could sum up the many ways to alleviate stresses - anytime! And in the end, it does all come down to this.
When we slow down our habitual reactions and observe our own thinking, we begin to see that being stressed can be a choice. The key to alleviating it then is to
1) notice that you are stressed,
2) slow down and allow yourself to take full responsibility for your mental - emotional state,
3) and take appropriate action.
Once the first and second steps are taken, the actions that allow you to slow down your heart rate, stand up straight, put that smile back on your face, and go back to enjoying the moment don't have to be huge.
Stress is optional? Not conditioned by external circumstance - ie the holidays? Well, think about a situation that caused you stress before - like an unhappy customer, a day spend running at work - and ask yourself, truthfully and honestly, have I ever had a situation like this that didn't cause me stress? In my experience, I worked through many hectic days with great enjoyment; I have loved helping an unhappy customer feel heard. AND I also was stressed at times about these things - BUT the initial stress was within my mind. I'd already been stressing before these situations occurred.
Simple actions to bring yourself back to smiling and enjoyment, once you have taken step 1) and 2), could be:
- taking 5-10 deep breaths. I know, it's ridiculously simple, and mostly it doesn't work - because we take 1, or 2, then go back to running; and decide it's not worth our while. Not working. Or better even, the thought is: "I don't have time for this right now!"
- feel your body. Acknowledge the emotions of stress, find the corresponding physical sensations, and watch them for a little while - 30sec.
- acknowledge other people's stress. This is VERY powerful! Rather than feeling annoyed, notice how people who are rude, short, or aggressive, must be feeling really uncomfortable right then. If you do this, you will find your annoyance replaced with compassion - and that feels so much nicer!
- Do something for someone without wanting a return. Bring your slacking employees some coffee. Compliment someone. Help someone.
- Ask yourself: Is it true? When you get annoyed or stressed, find the thought being it, and check-in with yourself. Find out if it's true and if it serves you.
Being stressed is a choice, and being relaxed and at peace is a learnable skill. Learning to work with my mental-emotional state is one of the most rewarding commitments I have ever taken. It is making my life so much more enjoyable!

I'm looking forward to keeping growing on so many levels, and to watch my clients in the work grow as well- mentally, emotionally, physically, and in the creation of their best possible reality. I know many of us are suffering, experiencing deep grief, anxiety, anger, and confusion. And yet, we are growing in times like this, more than when we are comfortable. This is so important to remember - if we allow it, we receive gifts in the midst of suffering. I'm looking forward to being aware of these, and grateful for them - in myself and all the people I'm connected with.
Grateful for every challenge that turns into personal and professional growth. Grateful for the ease which with life flows, whether I like it or not. Grateful for all the people I get to share this deep connection to living with through my work.
