This is something we all can focus on this month!  Together let’s identify and release our expectations of this holiday season so we can find the joy in whatever form they take for us!

As I mentioned today in class, there is nothing wrong with having expectations - they are actually good!!! Expectations bring us into anticipation, hope, excitement and the like!!!  The problem is when we get stuck in the outcome of our expectations and it becomes more of a demand.  We need and want life to unfold in one way and one way only.  This causes the suffering!  This makes our world small!!!  This year during the pandemic we have all been force fed the lesson of releasing our expectations of ourselves, our lives and others.  We have been forced to pivot and redirect time and time again!  I know for myself, when I found myself hooked into my expectations, life sucked!  When I was able to accept the unfolding and pivot with life, making “lemonade out of lemons”, I was in the flow of life with ease and calm.  

This month will bring different holidays, so how can we all use this intention: “I release the mental burdens of expectations” to create joyful and abundant holidays, no matter what!!!

Take a moment and write out a few creative ways that you can gather with the people you love as well as creative ways to celebrate in your own home with your “safe COVID pod”.

 

And as far as the Calm Crew goes……..Thank you for joining!!!

Why did I call it the “calm crew”?  Think of the Scandinavian word - hygge: [ˈh(y)o͞oɡəˈho͝oɡə] NOUN - 

a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture).
synonym: calm

Together through the calm crew we will create a spiritual community of like minded people, conviviality, trying to find the calm and joy in life!

 

The secret to amazing 2020 holidays and an even better 2021.... manage your expectations!!!

Finally, please reach out to me if you would like a private yoga or meditation class for you or a group via zoom to get you all through the holidays!!!  Could be a fun family, friend or company wide boost and holiday connection!!!
Also if you have a group of young adults who would like a stress and anxiety mini workshop, please send me an email. I have a lot of empathy for this age group right now, their life is not as it should be and that is very stressful at their age, lots of life pivots and acceptance!!!!!
