Thrival Guide to the Holydaze

I'd be lying if I told you that this Solstice season brings with it an easy astrology. With Uranus moving forward now, we do seem to be regaining a sense of clarity about who we really are and how the past months have inevitably led to this moment.  This sense of ourselves is in creative tension on Xmas day. It meets with other people's expectations of what we do with our energy and how (Mars in Libra). See "there is no such thing as other people's stuff" for clues on how to practice emotional intelligence in this tussle. 

Most importantly, check your expectations. Most folks are anxious, irritable and trying to mold reality to conform to a fantasy script of the holiday season. If you figure out how to make that work, please let me know. In the meantime, be someone who can smile at the chaos and breathe through the crazy. Hope this helps:
  1.  Breathe deeply and intentionally (especially useful during awkward car rides)
  2. Stretch 
  3. Smile 
  4. Pray
  5. Take a shower
  6. Take a walk
  7. Take a break
  8. Give yourself a break. Be gentle with yourself & others. The holidays are challenging for most folks. Let yourself cope however you need to and know that it's not forever.
  9. Slow down so you can speed up. Drink herbal tea (chamomile & lavender are good for the nerves).
  10. Take a break from the gadget & being logged in aka enjoy where you actually are
  11. Pick up the gadget; send a text to your trusted allies and see what support comes from reaching out
  12. Repeat until that glorious moment when you ctfd then repeat some more
  13. Check out Venus Retrograde Solstice Strategies for not ruining your relationships or your relationship to money this holiday season.

Know that it is possible to get through the holydaze with peace, joy and grace this year as long as we center ourselves in a willingness to do the work & make the effort towards accepting what is.
