Hello and always a warm hearted welcome to you,
Thank you for being here;
Well just like that the “Silly Season is upon us.
How do we keep our wits about us in such chaos.?
How do we awaken the JOY rather than the extra STRESS of Christmas?
MAREES MONDAY MOTIVATIONAL
Mae West quotes - Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.
I have never agreed more than when sharing a wonderful smile.
It’s a distraction,
It’s a chance to simply be in the moment.
To relax your shoulders
To breathe.......................
PLAY MORE
As I stood in one of the many ques yesterday, a small boy was in a shopping trolley.He, like his mother, was tired.
Tired, bored, scratchy-he was well over the "joys" of Christmas.Happily he accepted my smiles, and in a flash returned it beaming one back to me with gusto!!As we waited, we played a weird faces game, Pe-po and air kisses.
Mum was happy, he was happy, and so was I.
All it took was a little play and smile.Remember to give out as many smiles as you can.
They are free, easy and offer great returns.
And a wonderful way to lighten anyone's day
TIPS ON HOW TO FIND MORE JOY
1. Being calmly present - sharing quality moments of time,
2. Hug-it is wonderful - its connective love
3. Have a fun theme -at the Xmas table- funny wigs/t shirts, ties, tails-something to laugh about.
4. Pay forward- there are many ways to do this, from donating wrapped toys, to time in a shelter, to visiting those alone and so many more.
5. Write an activities list- (involve your family) on what you can do that is cost effective and adventure full.
6. Food - is wonderful when shared in any way from the table to a picnic on the beach…the local parks or rivers.
7. Remember loved ones passed, by adding an item of theirs to the table, or hanging a small photo on your tree...
8. Dress casual- flats shoes- if you need to go to the shops, try to leave the kids at home, and pick quitter times or when late shopping is on.
9. Music is a joy sparkler, sing, dance, listen to the bright cheerful tunes and let yourself lift to its harmony.
10. When the day closes nestle down into a movie or a few fun games together, get ther guitar out, or talk about the day, the fun, that LOVE.
It's all about love isnt it..
