(Please Note - This is the first of a two-part series). Surely you’ve experienced holiday stress. You know what it looks like! Think back to last year. What did you and your family enjoy the most? The least? Do you remember how you felt on the day after Thanksgiving? How about on December 26^th or January 2^nd? Now think about how you would like to feel after the holidays this year. What would that look like?

Maybe you wanted to serve the perfect meal, but you didn’t have time to make that special sauce of yours. Perhaps you wanted to create an awe inspiring holiday table spread with a unique homemade centerpiece but your creativity was zapped. You wanted everything to be perfect. It was not. Are you blaming yourself now? Don’t spend one more minute in that state! Take a deep breath and exhale with a big sound of relief.

The rush of holiday travel, entertaining, shopping, buying, baking… it all creates havoc. When thoughts of gifts, cookies, greeting cards, place settings and time running out floods your mind it will steal away your enjoyment and cause you to question how you will survive yet another holiday season. Is that how you really want to spend your holiday?

If you want freedom this holiday season, try these helpful tips:

1. Remove the “shoulds” of the season: It’s easy to fall into the trap of over scheduling at this time of year. Holidays are often filled with the “shoulds” of society. Remember, just because TV commercials, radio ads or even past traditions say something should be done a certain way doesn’t mean it’s best for everyone. Be selective or the ‘suppose to do’s’ will control your holiday season.

2. Have realistic expectations and prioritize: Remember to focus on what’s really important and be realistic with what you can do with your time, energy and other resources. Quality time with family is never based on the type of tree, table settings or the other decorations. To help you prioritize ask yourself, “If I had half as much time, how would I choose to use that time?”

3. Identify what stresses you out: Take a minute and list what you find most stressful about the holidays. Include everyday stress as well. Look over the list and eliminate what you can. Do the bills need to be paid? Would you feel better if the holiday meal was planned? As you face the causes of stress on your list, the stress will melt away.

4. No Regrets: Allow the holidays to be the positive, healthy celebration they are meant to be. Avoid choices that will result in debt, diets or embarrassments. Spending beyond your means or eating past healthy boundaries may be aimed at filling an unmet need. If the holidays are a difficult time of year and you are unsure why but find yourself making choices you wish you could take back, seek guidance. Avoid falling into regrets through an unrealized attempt to compensate.

5. Take care of yourself: Healthy habits such as eating well or exercising are often abandoned when we become overwhelmed from the hustle and bustle of the holidays. Such choices leave us tired, drained and worn out. It is especially true during the holidays that you can’t give what you don’t have. This year make healthy, energy-generating habits a priority. Exercise to eliminate stress and increase stamina, limit your sugar intake and eat healthy whole foods.

6. Sleep tight: Most of us are already suffering from sleep deprivation and the holidays often take more out of us than we appreciate. After a full day of holiday activities the body and mind require sleep to recover and rejuvenate. The more the body is denied this opportunity to fully recover, the more the immune system becomes suppressed and the likelihood of illness increases. It isn’t worth getting sick. Be sure to catch enough zzz’s and get some sleep!

Be sure to tune in on Thursday for the second 6 steps for thriving this holiday season!

I believe that everyone deserves to remove their blocks, unknot subconscious issues, and heal on a deeper level

to access a more peaceful, graceful life. That is why 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! 

Just last week renowned Mentor, Coach and Trainer Karen Cappello wrote:

"After only three months of working with Nathalie I attracted a brand new

income for 2010. Thank you so much, Nathalie; I deeply appreciate working  with you!"

You should know that, because of the dramatic benefits my clients attained in 2009, Spirit has told me to raise my

rates. 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! On Dec, 8th I will fly to Africa for a full month for family reunions and a new 

beautiful project of Foundation to help women and their children. (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!

With LOVE and Light, Nathalie
