The fast approaching holidays, and the limited time available to be and do all we would like during the months of November and December, have had my mind in a spin. As moms and grandmothers and women in general, we take on the holidays with a vengeance. I'm not sure what we're looking for, except perhaps to recreate a memory or a dream we see in our hearts, and hope to experience too. I'm thinking of the ways to make our dreams realities while keeping our dispositions kind and our hearts loving. Anything less would spoil the effect. You're agreeing about now, right? :o)
Here are a few of my thoughts on destressing the holidays for a happier, healthier, joyful celebration for all:
1. We all have so much. So, do most of those on our gift giving lists. I see so many things I would love to purchase for my children and grandchildren. It's challenging, but one a pray I'm up to: limiting my purchases to one well-chosen gift for each person. Being able to purchase gifts that also benefit a cause makes them even more special.
2. Choosing simpler menus, and planning ahead. Tough one when everyone has their favs and expectations. Spreading the responsibilities among family and friends who will be joining you for the festive meals is a great help too.
3. Finding time for relaxation and destress in the midst of it all. This is so important in order to be at our best and for our bodies to be encouraged to maintain health and wellness.
This last one is so important to me personally because of what I do. Reflexology is such a great way to destress and relax and encourage your body toward greater health and wellness year round. Of course, it is an exceptional gift for yourself during the holidays as well. Our regular sessions are a beautiful experience in relaxation and are 75 minutes long. A fabulous treat (or perhaps a necessity) for yourself.
Time is, of course, at a premium during the holidays. During the months of November and December Footsteps In Eden will be offering some shorter sessions that may be a great fit for you. These are half-hour sessions for $40 each. We'll also offer a package of 2 one-hour sessions for $115. These offers are good only during November and December 2010. The 2 session package must be used by December 31, 2010.
We would love for you to help us bless the St. Jude kids living at Target House here in Memphis. During November and through the first week of December, we'll be collecting NEW GAMES for Santa's deliveries to each of these children. For your donation we will gift you with $5 Off on one single (75 Minute) reflexology session or $10 off the 3 (75 minute each) sessions package. Coupon expires Dec. 31, 2010. The three session package may be purchased and first session used by December 31, 2010 with remaining two sessions scheduled and used by March 15, 2011.
