When Holidays Become Horrid Days, Change Your Hat: A Closet Full of Viewpoints Can Make the Season Bright
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.
Silver Spring, MD (PRWEB via PR Web
Direct) November 15, 2004 -- 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.
