Christmas

There are often a  lot of mixed feelings around this holiday season. The consumer hype doesn't encourage me to want to go out and buy everything in sight - rather the reverse! But I do love the lights which are on show which really help to brighten up a wet, misty evening. Some of them can be quite stunning!

Excitement

Excitement is such an energizing emotion and one that can inspire us to great action when activated. With the approaching holidays there's a lot of busyness in preparation and a lot of excitement around the events that lead up to the holiday itself. So it's particularly important for us to make sure that we take enough time for ourselves and rest so that we can enjoy the festivities!

Drawing a Blank

That confused feeling when we don't know what comes next. Not something that's comfortable or reassuring. But perhaps this is the time when we receive our 'spiritual updates' - something beyond our minds understanding and we need to integrate the new information into our bodies. So all we need to do is to be able to accept that this is the possibility and to allow things to evolve.

Structure

We all tend  to like  a certain amount of structure in our lives but too much of it can be very limiting. So we need to decide for ourselves how much structure supports us and how we decide to break through those parts of our lives over which we have control but over which we are either consciously or unconsciously limiting ourselves.

Strength

Many people think about strength in the physical sense, and value this attribute; but there are many ways in our lives to show our strength as we face the various challenges that come our way and choose to meet them with strength the resolution to do all that we are able to overcome them while also valuing that not everything is within our ability to resolve. And it takes strength too, to face this in our attitudes and determination.
