The year-end holidays are approaching.  Many people experience this time of year as a time of fond reflection; however, for some, holidays are emotionally difficult.   Unfortunate negative experiences while growing up and significant losses like the  death of a loved one, divorce or separation including the breakup of a significant relationship plunges them into the well of Holiday Blues.

Here are some tips for beating the Holiday Blues:

1. Do something new.  Doing something as simple as getting new Christmas
decorations, or changing the color of your bathroom or kitchen accessories, or if
affordable and you've never done it before, taking a holiday trip, can make a pleasant
difference.


2. Be a participator in the holiday celebrations rather than a spectator.  Why not give
a holiday party?


3. Be a blessing to others, who are less fortunate if you don't have local family (or if
you do have one)
.  Serve them Christmas dinner.  This helps you to realize that you
are blessed.


4. Practice self-care.  Don't overextend yourself physically or financially.


5. Express your feelings.  Talk about your feelings (especially negative ones) to
someone you trust (friend, relative, minister or therapist).  I strongly stress the
importance of not harboring negative emotions that can produce anxiety, depression
and stress.  I call negative emotions "stuff".  Everyone has "stuff" whether he or she
is honest enough to admit or not.  Deal with your "stuff".


6. Enjoy the holidays.

7. Remember to say a Prayer of Thanks.  Be thankful for the Divine blessings you
received in 2007
, and the Divine blessings and possibilities you expect to receive in
2008.


8. Repeat this affirmation:  "I am more than a conqueror". Saint Paul
