10 Quick Tips to Heal Your Heart for the Holidays! Tip 1: Say “Thank You!” Practice appreciation for everything you have in life. First, thank yourself for accepting life for one more day, and then thank everyone else for bringing more meaning to the holiday season. Tip 2: Say “I Love You!” Declare your strongest feelings to yourself and others. It’s the love that you’ll need to keep fighting the pressures of CHANGE at holiday times. Tip 3: Say “I Apologize!” Acknowledge your failures and your faults and allow them to be the lessons you need to create a brighter future. Your best challenges in life will come from the disappointments and failures of your past. Apologizing to yourself and others alleviates your mind and spirit from your suppressed guilty feelings, anxiety and stress. Tip 4: Say “I’m Tired!” Admit to your honest feelings of overwhelm during the holiday. Take the time to relax, relate, and release. If you fall asleep in 5 minutes or less, that is a sign you are suffering from sleep deprivation. The ideal time to get to sleep is in 1015 minutes. Tip 5: Say “I Forgive You!” Close your mind and open your heart to new possibilities with the ones that have done you wrong. Forgiveness allows your heart and your head to come into agreement. Tip 6: Say “Forgive Me!” Overcome negativity by initiating a truce. The quicker you can get to a state of forgiveness with others, the quicker you can get to a state of peace within yourself. Tip 7: Say “NO!” Assert your feelings by telling the TRUTH. Tell yourself the truth and tell others the truth. In fact, negativity during the holidays can create one of the highest levels of unwanted health issues, stress and anxiety in your life. Whether it’s the stress of the family get together, the food preparation, or the presents… holidays can be the most exciting, yet overwhelming time of the whole year. Therefore, the more you can stand up and express your true feelings, the sooner you can get to your real NO= Next Option. Tip 8: Say “It’s Not Over!” Inspire yourself to create new challenges and goals. Age is never a reason to stop trying to learn all your many gifts and talents that you have stored in your soul. Tip 9: Say “This Is Not My Life!”

Question yourself daily. Ask yourself: Am I Thriving….or just Surviving? Am I where I thought I would be at this time in my life? Am I excited to get to my job? Do I LOVE what I do?  Am I fulfilled in my personal life?  Do I feel loved?  Am I telling myself the truth…or am I hiding out from my past?  These types of questions will help you sort out your feelings and concerns. If you’re truly having trouble answering any of these questions, it’s time to seek a personal life coach.  Tip 10: Say “YES!” Reinforce your will to live, laugh and love. There are no guarantees in life, yet you don’t want to look back on your years and think “I know there was so much more I could have done, if I just had taken the time to listen to my heart.”  Listen, life is short and your future is unclear, however you can make the most of every day by saying “YES” to yourself and your whole LIFE!
