Covid or no Covid, Christmas is a stressful time for most of us. Whether it's family issues, money concerns or just sheer burnout, we all feel a little bit more on edge over the month of December.
For Mind Yourself Now with Dermot and Dave, clinical hypnotherapist and best selling author of The Positive Habit Fiona Brennan gave a three step plan for finding the magic in Christmas.
- Gratitude - acceptance for what is & not how things were or 'should be'
- Pull out the positives by processing the negative emotions- allow yourself to feel sad, missing loved ones, cry, release all emotions in a healthy way & then when you have done that focus on the positives
- Presence and loving awareness - bring it back to the moment. Create a loving feeling in your heart.
Fiona also did a short meditation that you can do when it all gets a bit toooo much.
