How about a paradigm of home for the Holidays that includes a true appreciation for the journey rather than slogging through to the destination.  Find your inner home as a place of comfort and containment for this busy time and visit there each day so that you can feel better during the hectic season.  Shine an inner light so that when outside influences tempt us to fall back to old patterns we feel strong and content in our own skin.

It is tempting to give into the mindset that there is not enough time to keep up with the extra demands of Holiday time as well as self care.    Instead of stopping altogether just try doing 5 yoga poses if you do not have the time to devote to going to a class, if you only have 15 minutes before you have to leave for work then afford yourself 5 to sit in meditation, or if you only have time for a quick bite to eat try steaming some veggies with brown rice instead of the drive through.   Finding moments to give to yourself and refill your well will allow you to find more joy and fun during the Holidays.  When you have kept up with a commitment to your own health and happiness think of how great you will feel as you enter into a New Year.
