As the year draws to a close, in many traditions this means that we are going into Holiday Season and New Year celebrations.
For some, this time of year is a cause for great jubilation, and for others, it can be complicated, or indeed a difficult time.
People can feel pressure to have this picture-perfect occasion.
Spending lots of time together with family and loved ones can be fun and also quite challenging. So many times, we hear how people revert to their old behaviours when they are in the family situation again.
Or it can really heighten people’s sense of loss and what they no longer have or indeed never had.
Tapping can help you no matter what you are dealing with.
If you are not in a position to start tapping without attracting unwanted attention, you can tap virtually. What I mean by this, is you can imagine tapping on the points around the body.
Tune into whatever you are feeling and tap away:
Even though I can’t believe I am behaving like a 5 year old again….
Even though, I am feeling overwhelmed
Even though I’m feeling sad….
And if you’re not sure what you are feeling, say:
Even though I’m not sure what I am feeling….
Sometimes even acknowledging what you are feeling and honouring them can be enough to help you to move through them.
Above all, be gentle with yourself, and have self-compassion.
We can put enormous pressure on ourselves about how we ‘should’ feel and what we ‘should’ be able to handle.
Instead, ask yourself, ‘if I really loved myself, what would I do now?’, and listen to the gentle wisdom that you have within you. This may guide you to a softer place to land.
Coming from this place of self-compassion and kindness, it may help you to feel better and open the doors to compassion for others.
Wishing you a peaceful end to the year .
