Holidays: Frantic or Fun? Your Choice …
Moving into the Holiday Season, we generally
affect one of two attitudes. Either frantic frenzy with shopping, parties, decorating, cooking, and did I mention
parties? 😊
For others, the Season brings calm planning,
peaceful thoughts of gratitude, heartfelt karaoke Holiday songs, goodwill toward our friends and foe alike, and a
certain …
Hmmm, a word that just makes you want to say, “Ahhhhhh.”
Your attitude of mansuetude for the next couple of months can foster happy thoughts
and seasonal good will that could take you through the New Year. Wouldn’t
that be a nice beginning to build on?
Tip for a calmer, more meaningful New Year of mansuetude:
Do you have a large list of fave songs on your music device or on the radio?
(Yes, the radio is still alive and thriving.)
Choose a song as a theme for each month of the
New Year; a melody and/or lyrics that give you a mental boost and puts a little
jiggle in your walk with feel-good energy.
Have even more fun pairing it to the
month, like: January – “I Can See Clearly Now” (Johnny Nash1972); or July – “Summer Breeze” by Seals
& Croft. Just sway back ’n’ forth in the balmy air ... you simply can’t be
in a bad mood after that. Though these are both “moldy oldies,” the music spectrum
is wide and long … have fun!
When you feel life is getting the better of
you, hum your tune of the month. Or better yet, belt it out at the top of your
lungs … generate a calming or joyful mood of mansuetude.
If nothing else in your life, you control your
strength of mind and choice of mansuetude over chaos. Try it. Send
a ripple into the Universe and watch it gently rock your world. If no one feels
it but you, that’s okay too. ♪ It’s gonna be a bright, bright
sunshiny day … ♪
Word Challenge: MANSUETUDE. Let your inner
reflection take a deep breath, as you fit mansuetude into your week of peaceful
writings.
Learning knows no prejudices or boundaries, and it isn’t fattening!
