Christmas: A Time for Togetherness!

Filed Under Emotional Healing, Mental Healing

Christmas is the time of year when friends and families can renew their connections to one another.  Sometimes, regretably, this seems to get lost in the commercialism of the holiday.  However, you do not have to let this be the case!  You can choose to pay special attention to the aspects of Christmas closeness … that really matter.

Here are some ways to do just that on Christmas Day:

1.   Enjoy breakfast together. Breaking bread has always been a great way to share stories and foster the idea of family. Decide who will host the meal.  Schedule the timing to best accommodate everyone’s schedule.

2.  Read the Christmas story.  Shared traditions can bring friends and family closer.  Remembering the reason why you are celebrating the holiday enhances the experience of the Day. Each person can take turns reading a portion of the story. For a new twist, have a few family members act out the Christmas story as one person narrates it.  Find that budding actor/actress among you!

3.  Hold a video family-friend gathering. Read more

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas …

Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing

All of the hustle and bustle of the preceding month is completed.  Tomorrow has not yet come …

So, Christmas Eve can be an evening of relaxation and relaxed fun.  Christmas Eve can be a time for expectation and joy.

What would the benefits be to you to make it so?

Perhaps, you might plan a simple dinner and a Seasonal movie.  Maybe, you could make a point to include your family’s Christmas favorite.  Is it “A Christmas Story”?  Or, is it “The Santa Clause”?  Or, is it “A Christmas Carol”?

Speaking of that, maybe you would choose to get together with family and some close friends and listen to Christmas carols.  Or, maybe you could plan a group sing-along!

It’s a Special time of year … and, with just a little planning and forethought, you can make it a TREASURE!  What plans can you create to make this Your BEST Christmas Eve ever?

Impossible …

Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing

The most common problem to setting — and successfully accomplishing — goals is the word “impossible”. Most people get hung up thinking, “I can’t do this.” Or, “It’s too hard.” Or, “It’s too impossible. No one can do this.”

Of course, if everyone thought that, there would be no inventions, no innovations, and no breakthroughs in human accomplishment. Early on, scientists were baffled when they took a look at the humble bumblebee. Theoretically, they said, it was impossible for the bumblebee to fly.

Of course, fortunately for the bumble bee, no one ever told it this. So, the bumble bee flies! Read more

Accomplish Your Dreams

Filed Under Emotional Healing, Life Coaching, Mental Healing

Have you ever dreamed of achieving huge accomplishments? Most people, at some point of his or her life, have dreamed of being somebody special, somebody big. Have you ever fantasized about being the one who hits the game-winning homer? Have you imagined yourself being the homecoming queen? Have you ever dreamed of being rich, or successful, or happy with your relationships?

If so, you have conceived big dreams and engaged in great aspirations. For many people, unfortunately, dreams remain just that –- dreams. For many, aspirations easily collect dust in the attic.

Were this to happen, it would be a sad turn of events. Instead of experiencing exciting adventures in self-actualization, it is possible to get caught up in the humdrum of living from day-to-day just barely existing.

But you need not settle for this! Life can be so much better! What is takes for make your life better is learning to aim higher. For ideas about how to aim higher, visit our website at http://thelifecoachdr.com TODAY!
