Good luck with saying no, and with nurturing yourself in these hectic festive days :)<br /><br />For me, I notice how I also need to keep my thoughts calm - giving over to worry and hectic in itself drains me. And sometimes, just thinking about something negative, even in the sense of releasing it, still is a reminder of that thing. So, I am just focusing on healing and creatitivity, rather on what I need to let go of :)Inner Whispershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04577110987784585986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-76795440578611156412016-12-14T13:16:19.674+01:002016-12-14T13:16:19.674+01:00Hi Beckibeetle!

It is very easy to say yes." This can easily apply to our own self-determination. The pressure to make others happy, or to comply with an expectation, often outweighs our attention to self-care.

It's so easy to overspend, overdo and over-volunteer during the holiday, but as Lorenzi-Prince suggests, its a good idea to check one's motives and expectations with a big dose of reality. (For instance, I may be overdoing because I want to be liked and accepted.) It truly is a way to deplete yourself all the while thinking just the opposite!
