Ready or Not, the Holidays are Coming!
Do you dread the holidays? Eagerly anticipate
them? Do both at once? Here's CSIGY (Creative,
Sensitive, Introverted, Gifted) Tips and Tools to Stay
Balanced Through the Holidays:
Hollywood's images of perfect family holidays set up
unrealistic expectations that can never be met. Let's
face it, we can't possibly measure up to the Norman
Rockwell or "It's a Wonderful Life" ideal. So why not take
the pressure off to be perfect and enjoy the season? If
your well-being has become the last priority in your
life, it's time to learn how to EEEK your way through the
holidays."
EEEK stands for Experience it,
Explore it, learn to Embrace it, and
Kreate something with it to heal our lives. These
are the mind-body-spirit skills that will enable you to
heal yourself. Doing Creative Handwork like quilting,
bead work, whittling, metalwork or knitting helps you to
"download" your emotions; and by turning it into what I
call Contemplative Handwork, you experience its power to
heal your life. This is hands-on Play Therapy for Adults.
Many CSIGY's eagerly anticipate the holidays and dread
them at the same time. They have high expectations of
themselves or others that are impossible to meet. There
is too much to do, and it all seems important. Creative,
Sensitive, Introverted and/or Gifted people also want to
DO it all, yet feel torn because they need solitude and
quiet to connect with the deep spirituality and
soulfulness of the holidays - and they may feel empty and
the holidays may be void of meaning without this deep
spiritual connection.
Winter is deepening, and with it may come an instinct
to hibernate, which also conflicts with keeping up
with holiday events and responsibilities. With the waning
light may come awareness of inner darkness as well. Grief
and loss can loom large as others celebrate. Need I say
more?
