And for you? Here’s a tip if you’re feeling stressed out with all the hullabaloo of the holiday season and your mind is going 50 million places at once. Well, maybe not 50 million – but the average person talks to themselves 300 to 1000 words a minute so there’s a lot going on.

And when you’re stressed, what’s happening in your mind is often negative. Here’s one way to get a handle on what you allow your mind to chew on. Write on several index cards, “What am I thinking right now?” and put them in the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom – wherever you’ll see them. Then when you see the card, notice what’s going on in your mind.

If it’s repeating the same thing over and over and making you upset, deliberately think of something different. But be gentle with yourself. Perhaps say a little prayer or think of something you’re grateful for. Or think of someone you care about but haven’t seen in a long time. Picture their face and see them smiling at you.

I wish you smiles, peace and serenity in this holiday season and a beautiful New Year.

Love and Blessings,

Ellen

    The “What are you thinking right now?” suggestion is working wonders for me. It comes up in my mind, even when I’m not looking at the words on the card, and reminds me to look at my thoughts. Thank you for the suggestion.
    Happy Holy days to you.
