Do you experience a lot of stress during Xmas? Whether it is because you are alone and/or because of all the obligations? Then check out this blogpost!

1) Set the right intention for you

How you spend your days is largely defined by the intention you set. If you don’t set any, chances are you feel like your life is being lived for you. Let’s change this right now and decide for yourself what a good time, a good day, a good Xmas looks like for you!

2) Use this time to express yourself

This is the time where you have tons of possibilities to express yourself, whether singing Xmas carols, writing in your notebook and/or pimping and sending cards. If you are a little lost I have good news. I have a Xmas Challenge for you, meant to express yourself and at the same time have fun doing so. Be sure to join!

3) Find connection

A number of us will spend time with others, others will be alone. Spending time with others cannot always be the most fun thing to do. When you are amongst others, make sure to find someone you really can connect with. If there’s really no one there, consider sending text messages and pictures to someone you do care about, or just post something online. Whatever it is, enjoy that time.

If you are on your own, find a place to connect to others, possibly by going a place you like to be, maybe meetup with others who have no one to go to. Connect through groups on Social Media, especially is you already know them. 

Last but not least. Download the Xmas angel, pimp it and send it to someone who could use a hug. If that someone is you, give yourself that gift with your own personal message addressed to you and/or ask a hug because you need one, by sending that card.

4) Use this time to get Clarity

There are a lot of things you can do during Xmas, including writing and taking pictures. If you decide to join the Xmas Challenge, you will get to do all these activities which are not only meant to be fun, but are also about expressing yourself. The way to Clarity, is finding out what’s going on in your mind. Doing those activities will help you with those. Of course, you can always sign up and give yourself the gift  of the Clarity Challenge. Do something every day, starting this Xmas.

5) Have fun, fun and more fun

This might be the most important message of all. HAVE FUN! Whether you wear an ugly sweater (we call it the most wrong sweater possible), you sing, eat good food, reminisce with a smile going through pictures, as long as you do it with intent and a feeling of being grateful. 

Of course, we don’t want and need to be serious all the time, so take a break to do something you really enjoy, even if it’s screaming to music in your car.

Most importantly, take time for yourself. Running around all the time, being engaged for and/or with others can cost you tons of energy. Remember it’s your time too! Let’s make it a good one!

6) Do things you normally wouldn’t have time to do

Depending on the situation you are in, you can be really busy (maybe even work), but chances are that there are moments you can squeeze in for yourself. During those moments, you want to do things you normally wouldn’t do. Things which are important to you. Maybe reach out to someone, maybe reflect on the year. Maybe going for a walk on the beach. You know what you have been postponing. Take the opportunity to do something about it. 

7) Take time to relax

I already mentioned this, but I cannot emphasize this enough. Be sure to take a break from it all and do things away from others, so you can wind down, relax and recharge. Especially during these days, people can expect a lot of you. That’s why you need to take care of yourself first.

Don’t forget with the first thing in mind. Set your intention at the beginning of the day and evaluate during the day and afterwards. These holidays are a good way to get clarity about what it is you want and need, not just about what others want and need. So give yourself the gift of clarity. 

Last but not least 

The Xmas Challengeis there to bring a smile to your face. It can take up as much and as little time as you want to, but it is guaranteed a way to give you clarity about what it is you want and need. This Challenge will help you to express yourself in ways you never thought about before, so be sure to sign up and listen and watch the assignments and videos (including lives) every day.

You can do it. All you need to do is take the first step and keep taking it every single day.

Have a very Merry Xmas!!!
