Winter Blues

We are half way through November already! I saw the coca cola Christmas advert for the first time today so that can only mean one thing...Christmas is here! Well not quite but that's how it feels. I love Christmas but not every one feels the same way. The stress of family get togethers, the dark nights, money worries, debt, socialising or not. This is the time when stress levels become higher than normal. Sometimes we have to take a step back and put it in perspective. When you start feeling like everything is on top of you I want you to take a few minutes to relax. Sit in a chair put your hands on your lap and breathe in for the count of 7 and out for the count of 11 do this a few times and you will begin to feel alot better. 

To me Christmas is about spending time with friends and family that is more important than how much we spend on each other. So relax and enjoy the day with good food and family.
 If you dread Christmas because you are by yourself then change the emotion. 

                                                        Thoughts without emotions are just thoughts 

Use that day to do something nice for yourself. Make it special for you have a nice meal, watch what you want to on TV or wrap up well and go for a walk at your favourite place. If you want to stay in bed all day then it's up to you. Just look at it with positive emotions and you can change the way you feel about it. This can apply to winter blues in general
Have a Good Christmas.
