Happy Thanksgiving,

Did you know one of the primary reasons we have a brain is to run our bodies?  That body that will be stuffed with food, connect with friends or family and deal with the stresses of the holiday?

I know the great DesCartes said 'I think, therefore I am'.  But the truth is the difference between thinking or the dreams you dream at night is less than you might think. 

It's in the combination of feeling, thinking then ACTION that we move into the realm of NOW and access the power we have available to us to make our holiday season more of what we want.  Isn't that a good goal?

Power starts with a feeling, we refine it with our thoughts and then anchor it with action for the most powerful expression of us.  And feeling powerful can change any dynamic...

With all the intense Astrological activity leading up to the winter solstice, or the end of the Mayan long count on December 21st, many people are struggling to feel grateful this year. 

What can make a difference is small, simple really.  It's tapping into our actions to help you shift.

For example, my family is a group of strong-willed, verbal smartie-pants.  Which means there are frequent disagreements no matter how much we love each other.  Someone came up with the bright idea to get the nerf guns that my nephews play with, add a few more to be sure everyone is armed and stage a mock battle for the holiday kick off.

Instead of a contest of wills that leads to battle royal(s) over dinner, we have a huge nerf war with occasional switching of sides, opportunistic kill shots and tons of laughter.  It moves the energy through our bodies and out in harmless ways. 

Now that may not be possible for everyone (or even recommended without proper eye wear).  Still, you can find a way to take the emotions that holidays kick up and move them through your body.
