Change Your Holiday Tune - Marilyn O'Hearne

Change Your Holiday Tune

Marilyn O’Hearne, MSW, Master Certified Coach

Is this your normal holiday refrain? “On Rushing, on Buying, on Wrapping, on Parties, on Exhaustion, on Flu!” Would you like to change your tune, and actually relax, enjoy, and remember what the holidays truly represent: thanksgiving, joy, peace, and love?

Change your tune, by:

* Focusing on meaningful traditions rather than social/cultural expectations.
* Creatively, prayerfully mapping out ways to express thanks, joy, peace, and love.
* Starting a new tradition: since we did not have extended family in town when I was growing up, my parents used to invite divorced and widowed friends to join us for holiday meals. This enriched our time and gave our guests a gathering where they could count on being included.

* Shopping early: we all know this is an option, yet many of us do not do it.
* Shopping less: instead of exchanging so many gifts, agree as a family, office, or group of friends to give where it is really needed: i.e. to a charitable organization.
* Leaving town for the holidays: the big gift is the trip, and time away from the madness. (If you can stand to miss out on some of the parties!) Too late for this holiday season? Plan for the next!
