As you begin holiday season with Thanksgiving Day and then move into the season of gift giving, may your focus remain on the giving thanks part of the holiday season. Giving thanks, being in gratitude, is the key to abundance.
Feeling abundant is the key to consciously creating your life and creating consciously is the key to experiencing a joyful, rich, full life filled with your heart's desires. Making you life, and the holidays, happy begin with the magic key of gratitude!
Gratitude is an attitude you can cultivate into being your first response in all situations. Living the attitude of gratitude keeps you open to see all the many treasures life is offering. When you live with openness and acceptance of the treasures of life you are available to receive more.
It is so easy to get caught up all the holiday stressors. Choosing the menu, the shopping, and the food preparation. There's the cleaning and making space for those out-of-town guest. Then of course there's always the question of whose getting the children for which holiday, or which in-law's do you visit when and how long do you have to stay. Or the dynamics that go on when the entire family is gathered together in one place. Or maybe the depression because you are without family, partner or children. And of, course there is the shopping and purchasing of gifts and the question of who do I buy for this year, how much will my budget carry and how long will it take me to pay for all of this! Before you know it, your attitude of gratitude, the magic key to abundance, is lost and you find yourself trapped in a small, secluded room hyperventilating until the holiday season is over!
The most powerful way to overcome the stress of the holiday season is to remind yourself often what you are grateful for. This is the best gift you can give yourself. Try this, although it may seem like "one more thing" to do, it can change the entire flow of your life throughout this season. Begin each day with 15 minutes of conscious breathing, focusing on your heart space, think of the people, places and situations in your life and the gifts they offer you. Sit in this space for a few moments and then offer the gift of gratitude to yourself. Sitting for just 15 minutes a day, not just as you read this article, but everyday, will cultivate in you a natural attitude of gratitude. You will be discovering the key to abundance and begin to unlock the treasures of your life.
Make your holiday season a happy one give yourself the gift of a grateful heart!
