An intentional holiday

The holiday season is officially underway (the retailers were trying to convince us of this since Halloween!) and things can get hectic. Take a moment to reflect about the kind of holiday season you'd like to have. Set an intention that helps you call to mind the kind of season you want. Perhaps this means building in some health and wellness time ( yoga class??!), time for sleep and relaxation, or time well chosen to re-connect with people that are important to you.

Just as we do in class on the mat....see if you can develop a one or 2 word intention that you can use to bring focus and clarity to all of the hustle and bustle. Then breathe and repeat that intention to yourself as you wait in lines at the post office or mall, or when you find yourself spread thin with so many places to be and events to attend.

Remind yourself that once the season is over, most of us do not recall the gifts, what we ate, or how clean the house was....instead, we remember our interactions with others and times that touched our hearts. Think about what touches you, seek to create some memories, and enjoy the holidays!!

See you in yoga class!
