(Please note - this is the second in a two-part series.) If you’ve been following along here on the BeMag blog, you know when I last left you I shared the first six steps to surviving the madness that can be the holiday season. Here are your next six steps:

7. Remove your ego: Our egos often get in the way during the holidays. We may unconsciously fall into competition with a friend or family member or take advantage of the payoffs of martyrdom. No true or lasting pleasure is attained this way. More often, our ego is responsible for stealing the peace and enjoyment we could have in our lives. You must ask yourself why you are really working this hard for the holidays. What do you have to prove?

8. Eliminate Perfectionism: Do you want perfectionism or peace? In order to have peace through the holiday season embrace your imperfection. The drive to be perfect or have things perfect for the holidays adds tensions and steals joy. Accept that life will happen despite well laid plans and enjoy going with the flow and not knowing exactly how things will turn out. It is a much more enjoyable way to spend the holidays.

9. Streamline to save time: Time is a precious commodity during the holidays. Brainstorm ways to save time this holiday season. Shop through the year, use catalogues or shop online. Hire a personal shopper or someone to run errands for you. Spend less time in front of the TV and choose uplifting programming. Limit watching the news as it often brings lots of negative energy, which can zap a person’s energy.

10. Ask for help: Delegating is an excellent way to save time and engage everyone. By involving the family and your friends in decorating, making gifts or preparing the meal they can enjoy the time together and will share a sense of pride in the outcome. Plus by asking for help you will have more time to enjoy your holiday.

11. Relax: Think of activities that allow you to put your feet up and relax. Plan an evening of pampering with pedicures holiday style or sit down as a family to watch a Christmas movie, read a holiday classic to your children or sit around the living room and sing your favorite carols. Integrate relaxation into your holiday by starting new traditions that are less stressful and full of meaningful.

12. Change your thinking. (Think positive!): Redefine what the holidays are all about for you. Is this a religious holiday, a time for family, a celebration? Release the concerns, worries and expectations of the holidays and get back to the real meaning. If receiving presents is a main focus use the opportunity to share a lesson in the value of giving. Cultivate a sense of the true spirit of the season.

Embrace these changes and do more than survive… make your holiday experience magnificent! Some of these tips may seem difficult maybe even unrealistic but with the proper support they are very possible.

Happy holidays and ENJOY yourself and your family!

In light of the holiday's I have decided to offer for one last time a "one hour clearing/coaching" session before

December 8th. Yes, you've read that correctly. After Dec. 7th,  you will be able to purchase only 

multi-session packages; you won't have access to me for just one quick hour!  I don't know what 

kind of pricing I will have in 2010, but I can assure you I'll follow Spirit's Guidance with joy! You can lock in 

the existing price by purchasing as many packages as you want this year and you have one full year to use them.

My existing rate (for 'non-ongoing' clients) is $497 for 3 sessions. My "One-hour holiday tune-up" session, is a

very un-Scrooge-like special price of $137 (You save $28.67 dollars!:-)) as my way of supporting your 

transformation during this challenging time of the year! Call me at 602-881-3040 to schedule your 

appointment today! (Appointments are on first scheduled, first served" basis. Limited quantity of sessions 

open due to my ongoing flow of coaching clients.) I hope to help you clear yourself, your situations and family 

soon so you have the most fabulous end of the year! What are you waiting for? Call me now to schedule your 

appointment 602-881-3040!

Love and light, Nathalie
