Choosing A Happy Christmas Alone - Day 8

Welcome to 100 days of Happy - 100 ways to include Happy practices in your life and business.

These are short podcast episodes - aiming for between 7 - 10 minutes where I explore was to build positivity and energy into your day, and relieve stress and tension.

With the fear and discord that is present and building in the world, I invite you to help me lift the energy of planet by starting with you and Choosing Happy for a few minutes each day.

Day 8 - Choosing Happy Christmas Alone

Christmas can feel a sad and lonely time if you are not spending it with others.

In this episode I invite you to make Christmas a gift to yourself if you are alone this Christmas. Choose that it's the best day of the year for you. Consider that you could choose happy.

Community and Connection

My belief is that we win when we are compassionate, connecting and communicating unconditionally. When we are building a community of like-minded souls supporting each other through the dark days.

Be kind to those around you. They are living their own version of reality. If you want to be in conflict ensure it's aimed in the right direction. Be the example, by rejecting separation and embracing all, no matter where they are on their journey. Be the light, the example others want to follow.

I have created a community and resource pages on the Choosing Happy website at www.choosinghappy.co.uk - all will be available on day 6 - This was an intuitive urge to do this, to step up in my own way.

Speaker:

Are you alone?

Speaker:

This Christmas?

Speaker:

Are you spending Christmas by yourself?

Speaker:

Are you feeling sad about it?

Speaker:

Well, this episode is for you.

Speaker:

This is.

Speaker:

Episode eight of the hundred days to happy.

Speaker:

And it's choosing happy Christmas alone.

Speaker:

I'm Heather masters, and this is the choosing happy podcast.

Speaker:

I'm spending Christmas alone this year.

Speaker:

And I have done it.

Speaker:

A few times before.

Speaker:

And.

Speaker:

I have found that I can make Christmas.

Speaker:

The best day of the year for myself, by choosing to think about it.

Speaker:

As like a spa day, like a special gift to myself.

Speaker:

So I think of things that I haven't done for myself for a long

Speaker:

while, because I've been too busy.

Speaker:

Or I just haven't felt worthy.

Speaker:

Of taking the time out.

Speaker:

To do something special for myself.

Speaker:

So I invite you to have a think about what you can do to make Christmas.

Speaker:

A gift for yourself.

Speaker:

The first thing I do is start with appreciation.

Speaker:

I wake up and I think of five things that I really love and appreciate.

Speaker:

I then choose that.

Speaker:

I'm going to let the day be magic.

Speaker:

I'm going to let things flow.

Speaker:

I may have a few things planned, but they're not set in stone.

Speaker:

There are options for the day.

Speaker:

And that's what I'm going to invite you to do is to choose your options.

Speaker:

For making Christmas very special day, just for you.

Speaker:

And choose that.

Speaker:

As well that this day is just for you.

Speaker:

To catch up to renew your energy.

Speaker:

To experience a day.

Speaker:

Of just chilling.

Speaker:

And being for you.

Speaker:

Think of seven things that you haven't done for yourself lately.

Speaker:

It could be anything from having a special breakfast in bed.

Speaker:

Having a long hot bubble bath.

Speaker:

Dressing up just because.

Speaker:

Reading that book you bought ages ago and you just haven't got around to it.

Speaker:

Watching that favorite movie or one that you've wanted to see forever.

Speaker:

And again, you've just not gotten around to it.

Speaker:

Having a glass of wine and watching the sun go down.

Speaker:

Go for a long walk on the beach or in the forest.

Speaker:

Listening to music from your teenage years.

Speaker:

I

Speaker:

Think of things that you could do.

Speaker:

That you've.

Speaker:

Not done in ages, whether it's baking.

Speaker:

Whether it's having an afternoon snooze, just giving yourself that permission.

Speaker:

To take that time.

Speaker:

Out for you.

Speaker:

Alone.

Speaker:

Go with the flow of what you feel you want to do June the day.

Speaker:

Take time out to toast to those who've gone.

Speaker:

It's my mom's birthday on Christmas day.

Speaker:

So I always take time out to have a glass of wine with lunch and to think

Speaker:

about her and have a conversation.

Speaker:

With her in my head.

Speaker:

This is your blessed day.

Speaker:

Your date, choose exactly what you want to do with it.

Speaker:

Catch up with friends, catch up with family over the telephone.

Speaker:

And if you don't have that and just do something special for yourself.

Speaker:

Whatever that may be, you know, better than anyone else.

Speaker:

The things that you love.

Speaker:

The things you haven't done in a while.

Speaker:

The things that you enjoy.

Speaker:

Even if it's making a podcast.

Speaker:

Writing a blog.

Speaker:

Painting a picture.

Speaker:

Writing a story, whatever it is that gives you joy that you just

Speaker:

haven't given yourself a time to do.

Speaker:

Christmas is also about celebrating.

Speaker:

God in whatever form.

Speaker:

He comes to you.

Speaker:

Irrespective of religion.

Speaker:

It's a good day to reflect.

Speaker:

On the eternal magic of everything.

Speaker:

And on.

Speaker:

The power that you have to choose to respond.

Speaker:

To attract to make a difference.

Speaker:

Take some time to contemplate

Speaker:

. And the day.

Speaker:

With appreciation and gratitude.

Speaker:

And remember.

Speaker:

That irrespective of the day.

Speaker:

You have a choice of how you feel.

Speaker:

How you respond?

Speaker:

And whether you choose happy.

Profile picture for Heather Masters

Heather Masters

After struggling to feel comfortable in my own skin for years, and after living through many life and career/business changes, I finally discovered something that helped me get comfortable with the unknown and discover what it was I truly wanted, and to connect with that heartfelt knowing I hadn't been able to get clarity on. I have turned that into a system that helps techies, Entrepreneurs and online creatives (Artists, writers, techies and digital creators) overcome their blocks so they can step into who they really are, tap into their Creative genius and confidently show up in their lives like never before.

When you are tired of being tired...
My mission is to help you step out of old destructive patterns and beliefs that limit you and free you up to create the intuitively guided business and life that empowers and ignites you.

Create A Future Distinct From The Past.

And for those Awakened Entrepreneurs and Business owners, navigating a challenging and vastly changing world landscape, I have created the Online Success Academy, and focused one to one coaching programs, that help you traverse the chaos and take advantage of the new and exciting opportunities presenting themselves.
