Thanks so much for this thoughtful post! I hate, hate, hate the holidays. (So cold, so materialistic, so tacky, so much work, so full of relatives…) Each one of your steps speaks to me – I will definitely be using them all this year.

Tess….great list! I really liked eat slowly as a reminder…with 2 little ones I forget that completely sometimes. Exercise…hmmm? any ideas for a broken leg?

I have been practically giddy this year for the holidays…watching my kids light up is a priceless and favorite joy.

Yes we’ve always taken long walks and I have pleasant memories of walking around Reeds Lake in EGR, MI with my family on Thanksgiving Day.

I, especially, needed to hear these. It really helps me get centered and focused on what the holiday is about. Brings me peace, and helps me be ready. I was anxious before I dropped by, but this list will be read and kept handy.

Thanks for sharing, Tess.

Hi Tess, these are great tips as we enter the holiday season. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to avoid all the stress and experience only the joy these days can bring? I like your idea to exercise for 20 minutes each morning. It’s a great way to clear one’s mind and start the day with a fresh perspective and open heart.

Carolynn,
You’re funny. I’m glad you’re back and know you don’t have to comment or read every post. Take care of yourself and yes do Less!

Megan,
I’m not sure you hide or ignore them. Some are just great at getting what’s under the water. Think of an iceberg. What you are at peace with is conscious and above water. The unconcious is below water and when an old button is being pushed the other is just showing you there’s a little more under the water (we’re not aware of) to release.

You’re the best and I’m sure it will show where ever you go these holidays.
Blessed is the person who gets to be with you! Happy Thanksgiving!

Hillary,
I agree. Ours is the Smile Train. I’m sending warm wishes your way. May you receive the love you give so generously to others.

Hillary,

Hello Tess,

This is a great list! I am really drawn to #6 and #8. If we can all just practice those two things we will create a Loving-Kindness Revolution!

I appreciate what you do here Tess. Keep it going!

Hey, how’s the new book project going?
