I am very excited to invite everyone to our next Class activity, Staying Self-Centered and Joy-Full during the Holidays, with Deb Roth leading the event. It will be on December 6th at 8 pm ET and below is a summary of Deb’s plans:
Staying SELF-Centered and Joy-Full during the Holidays!
For MHC Class of 1977
If there was ever a time to ramp up (or create) your self-care practices, now is the time! As if the state of the world wasn’t enough, we’ve now officially entered the annual HOLI-DAZE and if we want to move through it in one piece, we need to find powerful, practical ways to keep grounded and centered.
I mean that literally – I’ve coined the phrase “sacred SELF-centeredness” to reflect how important it is to stay connected to your true essence, your best SELF, especially when we’re being pulled in many directions. And yes, it really is a sacred commitment that we make to ourselves, especially for those of us who have been taught to take care of everyone else first… a destructive little bit of socialization that women seem to have done a particularly good job of internalizing. Unchecked, this tendency results in a full-blown case of co-dependent behavior in some or all of your relationships. And not to mention, also the tendency to crash and burn when you hit the wall or are caught in the whirlwind of holiday overwhelm.
To support myself and my clients through times like this, I’ve become a “collector” of meditations, spiritual practices, and nurturing daily routines. However (full disclosure here), I’m not one of those people who can sit in silence and “clear my mind” for any length of time, so all of them include some kind of movement and/or singing/chanting. Some of them are 1-2 minutes, and the longest one is 12 minutes. I’d love to share them with you and lead you through a few so you have a few more tools in your own self-care toolbox to get through the next month or so.
Please come with some of your favorites, too. Let’s support each other in these challenging times!
