(Apologies - this one was recorded "differently" - just the fun of the holidays.)

In this episode we talk all about what the focus could be for the next few darker, colder days and nights and what that may and may not look like depending on your energy and the obligations of the season.

I am all about alternate ways to spend the holidays - not just this time of year but year-round. We just have so many in such a run at this time of year that it comes to the top of mind. And these are the holidays that are full of expectation and requirement.

Some thoughts, ideas, things to consider as you go into the "holiday season" whether you like the season on not.

The holiday season is upon us. And as a season with so much potential for going inward, for rest and restoration it can feel like anything but. So how to get ahead of it?

Let’s acknowledge in advance, where it’s going to hurt and what we can do to lessen the blow as much as possible without accidentally making the challenge harder or more difficult on ourselves and others.

In letting go, there are some conscious, practical and tangible things you can do to help you let go of things that you are ready to let go of.

I talk about them as well as the second side of the letting go coin...

bringing in and honoring that space, that vacuum that this there when something long standing is removed

In our first episode we talked about what we are collecting from this year & who/how/what we want to celebrate the collectings. In the second episode we talked about looking ahead and what we want for next year.

This episode is about putting both of them together so all of this information you have gathered actually does something and means something for you.

The natural next step after harvesting is to think what is next (and NOT in December, the worst month to try and be introspective).

AND Why sometimes small daily "normal life" retreats may work better than big "focused, think about life outside of it" retreats might not work as well.

Welcome Back!

We discuss four questions today:

1) What have you collected over this year?

2) With that collection, what are you celebrating?

3) What are you saying good-bye to? Easily or with much difficulty?

4) What do you know you need to say good-bye to but aren’t ready yet?

And Bonus Question for next time:

* How do you want to honor and celebrate all of this within the coming months?

While you are taking in that New Year’s/Spring Energy, just keep in mind - just because you can doesn’t mean you should.

How many things do you do, just because you can? How many events do you go to, things do you volunteer for, projects you take on? How many things have you just been doing because you did it before or than what you’ve always done or you think that is what you should be doing?
