Hello beautiful!
I hope you're wonderful and well : )
I woke up the past 3 mornings with the above title floating within my consciousness...and thought, what an appropriate theme to write about and share.
This time of year can bring about a mish-mash of emotions, experiences, responses and internal happenings. For some, Christmas and the holidays is their favourite time of year...for others it's just another day....for others it can be a time of great change or a trigger for buried "stuff"....and for others it's a crazy-busy time of year. Whatever the holidays are to you, most people feel the buzz of the season and it can easily sweep you off your feet, leaving a feeling of exhaustion, stress, overwhelm or shut down.
I would sooooooo LOVE this year of festivities to be different than all the rest! I would LOVE for YOUR holiday season to be a time of renewal, joy, happiness, gratitude, deep-authentic connection and magical happenings. So....how do we do this? How do we stay grounded in goodness, spiritually connected and centered in joy?

First....
Regardless of your to-do-list(ssss), shopping, cooking, baking, Holiday parties, decorating, etc....Become aware of your thoughts and emotions during these activities and consciously CHOOSE where you'd like to be INTERNALLY! You really are a brilliant multi-tasker and your body and brain know exactly how to do each of the above activities. The important piece here....is to be mindful of your emotional and mental states. These activities could be a nightmare and "take up time". Or they could be joyous, playful and delightful. It's all a matter of perspective, perception and point of view! What is the INTERNAL LENS YOU'RE LOOKING THROUGH?

Second....
Find time admist the busyness for JUST YOU! TIME TO REST, REST, RENEW. Go to your favourite yoga class (oooooo....take a restorative yoga class! Blissful and nourishing!), get a massage or some energy work, treat yourself to a mani-pedi, take a relaxing oatmeal and honey bath....Whatever you choose, each YOU-MOMENT will allow your body to slow down, your internal nervous system to rhythmically reset and when this happens the external world won't seem so crazy-busy and chaotic. You may actually find your outings quite enjoyable and peaceful....whistling Christmas carols with a smile on your face!
Third....
Don't leave your Spiritual Practice to wayside. So often when people are busy, they forget about that beautiful, soul-connecting way of life....thinking they'll get back to it when things slow down. THIS IS THE BEST TIME TO KEEP YOUR SPIRITUAL PRACTICE ALIVE AND ACTIVE! And if you don't have a well-established practice as yet.....start simply by meditating 10 minutes a day! I have a ton of beautifully recorded guided meditations on my website: www.taraantler.com/#!shopmeditation/cdh6

Fourth....
BE OF SERVICE - LIGHT SOMEONE'S LIFE....extend love, a gift, a random act of kindness to someone, anyone, or volunteer at a shelter. There are sooooooooo many opportunities to give, share love or be of service during this time of year. It is the season for giving after all.....AND YOU HAVE PLENTY OF LOVE, LIGHT AND GOODNESS WITHIN YOU TO SHARE...it doesn't always have to be monetary giving!!!!
And finally....
Create time to HAVE FUN and APPRECIATE THE LITTLE THINGS! The other day I ventured over to Starbucks for a decaf gingerbread latte with soy milk. The barista totally loaded the cup with beautiful whipped cream and sprinkles! I was so over-joyed by how delicate, soft and beautiful it looked....and was even more delighted by how awesome it tasted! This simple treat totally made my day! Remember the magic of this season....TAP INTO YOUR INNER CHILD!!!.....sparkles, Christmas carols, different sweet treats, dancing lights igniting the night, warm aromas of cinnamon and clove, excited children over Santa Claus, Christmas movies (one of my favs: ELF!!!), hot cocoa, and time shared with loved ones.....There is sooooo much to be grateful for!

I hope these tips help you to stay spiritually connected to what this time of year is REALLY about, that you feel the magic of love all around you, and that you feel soulfully tapped into a Source that is infinite, all loving, always giving and that holds you in the highest state 100% of the time!
Let me know how your holiday season unfolds....and how much magic you can create and experience this year!!!!
LOVE YOU!
