When Holidays Become Horrid
Days, Change Your Hat:
A Closet Full of Viewpoints Can
Make the Season Bright
When the holiday season finds you
overwhelmed and out of sorts, the best gift of all might
be a new hat.
No, we’re not talking about keeping
your ears warm. The hats that can help keep you sane and
even jolly are perspectives that are always available to
you.
Your list of to-do’s makes you
feel like jumping off a cliff? Try putting on
a climber’s hat and focus on finding your next foothold.
Even though the terrain looks tricky, one pull at a time
will get you through it.
Too many out-of-the-ordinary
demands on your time and energy? Control the chaos
by calling on your inner police officer. What rules and
boundaries do you need to maintain and uphold to keep
yourself from climbing the walls?
Dissatisfied that what you’ve
planned and bought doesn’t seem like enough?
The chef’s lofty hat reminds you that you have the power
to transform the mundane into the magnificent. How can
you personalize, spice up and present whatever you have
to give this season, so as to create wonderful moments
and memories?
Feeling that family togetherness
is overrated? When the behavior of the kids or
the in-laws or your sister is driving you round the
bend, shine up your trusty halo. Step into the light,
where you can see past the irritating trait. How you can
infuse the situation with some positive energy? What
petty stuff is getting in the way of living each hour to
the fullest?
A little blue because the season
seems like all work and no wonderment? Go for
the beanie with the propeller on top. Let go of having
to make it “right” and approach every situation as if it
was brand new. Ask how, why and what if. Allow yourself
to be amazed.
“The ability to tap into different
roles and perspectives at will makes people flexible and
emotionally resilient – and that’s just what most of us
need during the hectic holiday season,” says Christie
Latona, a DC area momentum coach who specializes in
helping individuals and organizations thrive.
Latona is the co-creator of
One Hat At A Time™ momentum cards, which use hat
images to help people tackle dreaded tasks, overcome
obstacles, and accomplish more with less struggle and
stress.
Looking for the perfect, unique
gift for quite a few people on your list? The deck is
available for $12.95 through
