HOW TO SURVIVE THE SILLY SEASON

My silly season rules

• take care of yourself
• avoid erratic sleep routines
• create an oasis of inner silence - meditate
• swim lots
• walk instead of driving
• only participate in holiday activities that really hold joy and meaning for you
• no multi-tasking
• hide the laptop
• do creative stuff - my camera will be working overtime
• spend time with people you love
• the Buddhist practice of "right speach" is a useful tool - before you speak ask yourself these three questions: is what I am about to say true? Is it necessary? Is it kind?
• spend less time in the kitchen and more time outdoors
• no holiday shopping - stay away from Malls
• burn candles instead of using electricity
• drink loads of water and champagne
• commit to less
• laugh lots
• search for garden-fairies
• hug the pups
• picnic under a shady tree
• walk barefoot
• let voicemail work overtime

Remember what you get in life all depends on how you view yourself - your identity - and what you are capable of.

Quote

All the breaks you need in life wait within your imagination. Imagination is the workshop of your mind, capable of turning mind energy into accomplishment and wealth - Napoleon Hill

If you have a complaint - write a complaint letter... scribble out every thought of worry, anger, fear, shame, self-pity etc before the holidays. You will gain comfort, insight, strength and courage and you will ROCK through the silly-season.......and as always luv yourself......
