Holiday Blues? PLUS, Yoga for digestion after Thanksgiving Dinner

A bit about overcoming the holiday blues.. PLUS, some Yoga for digestion after your Thanksgiving dinner and holiday indulgences.

“It’s not the conditions of our life that control our destiny, it’s the DECISIONS of our life.”

On the eve of Thanksgiving I know, personally, that the holidays can bring up alot of emotion for the better or sometimes WORSE, depending on our past experiences, current situation and frame of mind.

I will say that the holidays aren’t a BIG excitement for me. Often I love myself through alot of cynicism. I had many blessed experiences growing up and I’m thankful for that. But, sometimes as you get older and families fall apart, people move on, or pass on, and circumstances change the holidays are, and can become, a reminder of what you don’t have or what you have lost. This makes things a bit more challenging and less optimistic.

BUT, we have a decision:: We can create NEW memories, NEW habits, NEW rituals and traditions. You can let go of what you THINK things should be like and not allow yourself to get caught up in the consumerism or IDEA of what the holiday ‘should’ look like.Wishing you a beautiful day tomorrow. I hope you create new memories, beautiful experiences, and DECIDE to have a day that is filled with laughter and contentment REGARDLESS of your current conditions or circumstances. THAT is, what I have realized, is the only thing we have control over. 
PERSPECTIVE.I love you,
