Over the years we have brought you shows on the joy of Christmas and the Festive season. The giving, the receiving, the sharing, the caring.
I have decided this year to put them on one page for your enjoyment. Some are on the of gift buying, some on festive expectations, some on festive stress, some on the lonely and those at risk. Some of the shows go back aways, but still, have relevant content.
I share here why I am sharing these shows this festive season, and why I think we should listen to them. We learn from others, so do not get caught up in the consumerism but in the love of togetherness this wonderful season of love and joy.

Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Chinese New Year – whatever the family celebration. Is it a season of peace and goodwill to all men or a time of all-out war of attrition with the partner, stepchildren and/or the Mother-In-Law?
Do you look forward to family holidays, or are you of the “humbug” persuasion?
So many people I speak to dread dealing with all the pressures created through the run-up and preparation of getting things ‘perfect’, surviving the day and dealing with the aftermath of the reality of having everyone together over the festive season.
The holidays become a pressure cooker of old disappointments caused by a year on year failure of the festive season living up to the fairy tale ideal of playing happy families with the husband or wife, the children, in-laws, the step children…. worrying about presents, feeding everyone and what Uncle Fred will do when he’s drunk too much eggnog.
In ‘Detrigger Your Festive Stress’ we’ll be sharing with you practical approaches and techniques to help manage your family get-togethers with greater confidence and calm.
If you think it is going to be terrible – then it likely will be terrible. Be open to the possibility that with a different approach, you can have a very different experience – one you enjoy!!
All we need over the holiday season is 5 minutes 5 times a day to nip that holiday anxiety, stress, and even depression, in the bud.
So, here’s a quick look at The Stress to Success Formula: T.R.A.N.S.F.O.R.M.™ Your Life, Career and Business

5 Quick Tips To Transform the Holiday Season into a Joyful Experience
Turn off your devices when at family gatherings and holiday events…and talk person to person in real-time. Try it for 30 minutes to start, and build up from there. (It gets easier with practice I promise. LOL)
When the strain of too much activity or a cantankerous friend or family member gets to be too much, take a quick walk around the block, in the local park, or along the beach.
When feeling overwhelmed by a lack of funds and/or time for everything you want to have or do, take 5 minutes, sit down and write (in your gratitude journal) 5 things you’re grateful for in your life right now.
Holiday shopping and an overwhelming schedule taking its toll? Change your state! Get off your seat and on your feet and grab a glass of water. Hydration is crucial to keeping your brain alert, aware and thinking clearly, especially after a few too many festive eggnogs, or holiday treats!
Throughout the season (and the coming year) take 5 often. Set the timer on your phone for 5 minutes, put on some relaxing music, put your feet up and do some slow, deep, rhythmic, abdominal breathing. Breathe in and out to a slow count of 4.
Sara Troy, host/owner of Self Discovery Media Network, says stress being a mind-body heart and soul destroyer needs a new perspective. When we choose to see things differently we do not get so stressed about it.
Choose Positive Living with Sara Troy and her guest Gina Gardner, on air from November 12th.
Gina says…We live at a time where we are bombarded with information via the news, social media, and documentaries. The vast majority of them are spewing out news about political mudslinging and uncertainty, wars, people being displaced, hunger, global warming, poverty, division, and natural disaster.
There was a time not so long ago when the news was limited to the daily newspaper and the news programmes which were shown a few times a day on terrestrial TV which closed down for the day at midnight. Today there is no let-up to the onslaught of information via phones, tablets, PCs, TVs etc.
Much of the time you can’t be sure what is fact, what is political spin or downright lies. The few ‘feel good’ stories often put as a sweetener at the end of the show does little to drown out the torrent of negativity.
I believe this is making a significant contribution to an epidemic of social depression. I’m not talking about clinical depression or where people have been affected by a tragedy, abuse or life-changing situation which has had a profound effect on them.
I believe the western world is being badly affected by what I describe as social depression. A feeling that you are helpless, that things are being done by others over which you have no control. A sense of overwhelm, fatigue and low mood which persists and you are not quite sure why.
I think we are absorbing the negativity
which surrounds us and for the most part are unaware of the growing miasma
until it sucks our vitality. Rather like
the Dementors in Harry Potter.
I believe that we absorb the mood of those around us really easily. When we are with really positive people it is easier to feel energised and optimistic. When we are surrounded by negative messages, people who are moaning or focusing on the problems rather than potential solutions it is rather like bubonic plague or Ebola. It is incredibly infections and just as deadly.
In the UK over half the prescriptions issued are for anti-depressants. Whilst many people rely on these drugs, others find they have to take larger and larger doses and are still feeling they are unable to cope. The most common reason for men under 40 dying in the UK is not illness or accident but suicide. The economy in the UK loses £70+ billion per year through days lost to work through stress and the cost of presenteeism is thought to cost twice as much to the economy. This in no way gives any sense of the human cost that underpins such figures.
The number of children and young people who are struggling to cope is growing at an alarming rate.
People are using alcohol, drugs, food, shopping, and sex to act as an anesthetic, to dumb down negative feelings. Surely it is time to question what is going on and look to implement solutions which will make a lasting difference.
It would be easy to think there is nothing
we can do about things but I completely disagree. I think that anyone who believes they are too
inconsequential to make a difference should spend the night in a room with a
mosquito. We have choices – every minute
of every day. Every choice we make has
consequences. Even not choosing makes
consequences, and it is often not choosing which has the most impact.
Here is a selection of my top strategies to help you step out of social depression:
95% of our thinking is habitual – it
doesn’t actually involve our conscious brain.
Learning to think mindfully to be conscious of the quality of our
thinking has the capacity to make a huge and positive difference.
Take radical responsibility for everything
you say and do, how and when you say or do it or on whether you do it at
all. Be responsible for yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually – if
you hand that responsibility to others you have to put up with what they
decide. No one can MAKE you unhappy
unless you choose to let them.
Your beliefs become our reality – if you think you will fail it becomes a done deal, believe you will succeed even if you are not quite sure how then you open the door of possibility. It is time to do a complete overhaul of your beliefs and to ensure they underpin success and happiness.
Choose to focus on what you CAN DO rather
than what you can’t. What you focus on
appears to expand. If you focus on the
negative – it feels as if it grows. The
same is true of focusing on the positive –
it too begins to expand and grow.
Treat yourself as you would a best friend. So rather than beating yourself up be kind to
yourself. Rather than comparing yourself
with others, with images which have been heavily doctored choose to appreciate
and love yourself – wobbly bits and all.
YOU ARE ENOUGH!
Be aware of the language you use – language is incredibly powerful particularly
self-chatter. Be aware that we are often
our own worst critics, we often so much harder on ourselves than we are others. Be mindful of using the same criteria for
yourself as you do others.
Collecting gratitudes is an incredibly
positive impact when you do it on a regular basis. As you go through the day notice the things
which give you pleasure or make you smile. Make it easy!! Just before you go to sleep scan the day and
choose your top 5. Done regularly this
will re-calibrate the brain and help you feel really positive.
Random acts of kindness – doing things for others with no expectation of any acknowledgment creates a lasting feel-good factor.
Find your true purpose – be of service to
others, animals or the environment. As
you take a positive step to making a difference, the quality of your life will
change hugely – for the better.
These are just a few of the things you CAN do to help you and those you care about to feel good despite all the negativity which surrounds us. At the core is learning to live a life which is embracing love and compassion rather than fear and division.
Everything we do is a choice, even not choosing is actually a choice and every choice has consequences. Doesn’t it make sense to choose to be happy?
