December Christmas Stress Prevention
Easy Does It!

Hip Hip Hooray! Easy does it! You have minimized the effects of Murphy's Law. Nothing can disturb your peace and joy at your best ever Christmas dinner party. Not even your worst nightmare!

With your heightened ability to access peace on demand, through daily meditation, if a few gremlins have escaped your scrutiny during your planning, no problem!

Sure, you may experience brief moments of grief, which are simply moments of forgetfulness and often unconscious. We humans are blessed with a full range of emotions.

But the good news is, now, having successfully executed the Christmas Stress Prevention Plan, you are emotionally and mentally equipped to deal with whatever life presents to you.

You are also aware that you have choices - two actually. Peace or misery.

You get to decide how long you want to feel angry, sad or miserable.

When you become aware that you are not happy, then you can simply choose for peace by moving your attention to the stillness within.

Feel peace and calm replacing the tension, and then move on keeping your attention in the present moment.

Easy does it! Be like a cat. Have you ever seen a cat jumping up in the air to catch a low flying bird? And if the bird escapes what does the cat do?

What it does not do is groan and moan and have a hissy fit.

It simply lays down in the grass and gets ready for the next opportunity.

Cats live in the present moment. Daily meditation can help you move easily through emotionally disturbing moments. More on meditation...

Back to the Christmas Stress Prevention Plan

The stores are decorated for Christmas, and getting crowded. The TV is tempting children with new toys and games. Adults are being schmoozed and enticed with messages to put us in the mood for buying. The shopping crowd is taking over the parking lots at the malls.

Chief, you are now beyond all that stressful racing around for last minute emergencies.

Go ahead and admire your accomplishments.

Aren’t you glad you stayed with the plan?

CELEBRATE YOUR SUCCESSES!

At this point, your self confidence level is probably at an all-time high. Let the excitement grow. Feel the exhilaration of having successfully achieved your goals.

Your determination and persistence has successfully broken the cycle of disappointments and stress related depression.

Not just for yourself, but for others in your family and perhaps even in your circle of friends. The positive effects of your actions extend far beyond your ability to comprehend. Good job!

Christmas Havoc Stories.

Sorry no more hilarious true stories of Christmas misadventures. You probably don't need anymore motivation but I'll bet you could write a few of your own true stories.

You have almost reached the finish line, are you laughing at how easy the plan was for you?

Assuming you have personalized and kept your checklists up to date, it will be easy to see what still needs to be done.

You and your cast of Christmas characters playing harmoniously together will reap countless rewards in the days leading up to and on Christmas Day.

A glance at the December list of things to do, will reveal a few items yet to do. But they must wait until a few days, not more than a week, before Christmas day.

Now, what will you do with your spare two or three weeks?

Merry Christmas, Chief.

It's Christmas Day. Easy does it! Relax, stay present and have fun. You deserve it.
