When you have experienced loss and are in transition, the holidays can be especially challenging. What can you do to make your holiday season more enjoyable? Unless you are among a very small minority, spending the holidays alone isn't a good choice! You know that, right?
Here are three tips I am sharing with you because I know they always work for me.
1. Make plans ahead of time. 2. Make it fun and worthwhile. 3. And, have a backup plan, just in case!
You do not have to spend the holidays alone. While it may not always be possible to be with your regular family/friends, there are a host of other things that can make your day fun and rewarding. But it takes some advance-work.
My first holiday alone, my girlfriend and I traveled up to the Sierra's and loaded the back of my pickup high with fresh white snow, drove down to the city and deposited it on another friend's lawn to surprise her young children. With blue skies in the valley they were the only family who had a snowman in their front yard. And I had a blast, got good exercise, and taking my new puppy along was frosting on the cake.
That is just one idea, what have you done that works? Share in the comment section below so we can all learn from each other. And, I have a special treat for you.

Our inner peace is always there, it just isn't always easy to find! Unless, of course, you have the tools that Coach Mary can give you that can help you return to inner peace at any time - no matter the situation.
"Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart." - Author Unknown
