I just wanted to send a post reminding us all to do our best to
practise our energy conservation techniques this holiday season. If
you're like me, you tend to way overdo it during the holidays. I have
to remind myself constantly to slow down and rest, etc. I just wanted
to post a little reminder for us all. It's so easy to just go, go, go
this time of the year and then let ourselves get to the point of total
collapse. This is just a reminder to myself as well as all of you that
the best gift we can give our loved ones isn't a perfect Christmas
dinner or a perfectly wrapped present. The best gift we can give our
loved ones is to take care of ourselves. So please don't forget to
slow down and rest. Please don't kill yourself trying to please
everyone else. Remember that our energy conservation techniques need
to be used now more than at any other time of the year. If nothing
else, consider it a holiday gift to yourself. Happy Holidays!

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

Santa isn't the only one who should be making a list and checking it twice. Start the process of destressing the holidays by making your own listof all the holiday tasks you've performed in the past. Then, look the list over and decide what can be eliminated. As you list items, ask yourself the following questions:
1. Am I doing this out of habit, because it is a family tradition?
2. Do I really like, or need to have, this particular family tradition?

3. What is the worse thing that could happen if I didn't continue this family tradition?
4. Am I the only person responsible for this job?
5. If so, could someone else share this job with me?
6. Do I feel obligated to do this task, or is it a free choice?
7. Would the holidays be spoiled if I didn't do this?
8. Is there a way I can do this task differently, to eliminate some of the work involved?
