As the weather starts to shift, I start to anticipate the holidays. I can feel the excitement in the air.
As I go shopping, I notice the decor is changing to fit the holidays. I hear the music of the season and start to hum and smile. The holidays are coming!
Each song I hear on the radio fills my mind with memories of holidays in my past. The smells of holiday cooking remind me of wonderful traditions that I can bring forth into the present.
I am grateful for heartfelt experiences.
As I start to gather the decorations that I want to display, I feel the happiness growing within my heart. I get excited to find the perfect gifts for friends and family members. I prepare my home to be one of comfort and joy.
I decide what traditions I want to keep and what ones I choose to leave in the past.
I get to choose how I spend my time and what is important to me. I leave old expectations and obligations that are outdated in the past.
It is important to me that I really enjoy the holiday season. I evaluate what is going to help lift the energy around the holiday and what is not necessary. I let go of unnecessary busyness that creates frustration.
Today, in planning my holiday season, I tap into what brings me joy. I live in the energy of excitement.
