December's coming and I Still Got Nothin'.......

Well I was in the grocery store on Sunday and heard the piped in Christmas music.  For some I know it signals dread for this season full of well .....more of everything!  Food, drink, work (for some), gifts, decorating, traditions.... and conversations about all of the above.  Which means more triggers.  As we age, I would say ....this is true for most people.  (Although it is not acknowledged by very many.) So the salvation will be in going into this time with intention re: what you can control and what you can't.  And then doing what you can to create the results that will work for you.  So be mindful of your grief and your joy and try to infuse joy where it is authentic for you.  Find comfort for your grief.  And remember that you have choices as an adult and that can be a hugely empowering fact re: trauma triggers.    That's all I got......culturally this ain't gonna change and complaining isn't going to make you feel better for very long.  If this is a hard season for you then remember that this too shall pass.  Check out the tips at the end of this blog for ideas about how to get through.   I'm holding you in my heart. 
​xo  Lee
