FEATURE ARTICLE December marks the end of the solar calendar year, and with it come many significant dates and events. The winter solstice occurs on the 21st heralding the darkest day/night of the year for the northern hemisphere. The old year ends at midnight on the 31st. Both of these dates point to endings and darkness… which lead the next day and beyond to increasing light and new beginnings. The major religious celebrations of Christmas and Hanukah occur in this late time of year. Ceremonies call for our attention. Halls are decked and lights and strung. Parties are thrown and attended. Many travel to share with family and friends. Gifts are bought and exchanged at home and work. Many organizational fiscal year taxes and budgets come to an end and must be justified at this time. Personal and professional responsibilities call for our attention during December. It can seem almost overwhelming. How does one maintain heart energy and the spirit of FUN with so much calling for attention and energy during this time of year?? Of the many possible answers to this question, I’d like to focus on one point which can make a big difference. That is having a conscious awareness of ATTITUDE and ENERGY MANAGEMENT during this busy time of year. As the Holidays approach many people feel a sense of dread. They don’t look forward to the work involved, difficult people to deal with, shopping crowds, pounds to be gained, long hours getting ready, hectic schedules, “mandatory” appearances, let-down when it is all over, among other things. These anticipated low points of the Holiday are based on past history, and in dwelling on these distasteful aspects many people re-create the very things that they hope to avoid. A better attitude to have is one that focuses on the present and future only. With an intention of having a heartfelt, fun Holiday Season, a person then launches into the festivities with eyes open and the anticipation of being pleasantly surprised. And, guess what?? They ARE pleasantly surprised. Energy management takes discipline – especially in an emotionally-charged time of year such as this. To best do this one must remain conscious of his/her thoughts and catch the ones that are of lower vibration. Some people react to the shorter, darker days with depression. Others eat seasonal foods at parties that upset their physical chemistry and add to depression. With all of these components happening at once, energy management can be a challenge, but it is worth the effort. The Law of Attraction tells us that what we think, then we attract. It also says that the vibration that we put off is what we attract. So, if we consciously focus our thoughts in a more positive way, and catch ourselves when our minds wander to less positive topics, issues, “problems”, and quickly shift back to focus on more positive thoughts, then we can conquer the mind machine. You may go back to the archive of past Conscious Living issues to learn tips on how to set your attitude and manage your energy. You can also attend the free tele-seminar next Tuesday, December 12 at 9:00 a.m. EST to learn more ways to de-stress and keep your Holiday Happy!! To be CONSCIOUS you must be awake, tuned in, cognizant of what is going on around you, making decisions consciously. I share glimpses of living consciously at least quarterly in this e-zine.
