New Year, New You: Tackling Resolutions with Confidence, Clarity and Courage
As we bid farewell to another year and welcome the fresh start that January 1st brings, many of us find ourselves contemplating New Year’s resolutions. It’s a time-honored tradition – setting goals and making promises to ourselves about how we’ll improve our lives in the coming year. But let’s be honest, how many of us have made ambitious resolutions only to abandon them by February? Here at Holiday Rising, we believe in the power of setting intentions and working towards meaningful change. But we also know that sustainable transformation doesn’t happen overnight. It takes confidence to believe in yourself, clarity to know what you truly want, and courage to pursue…

All eyes on Me…
Have you ever felt overwhelmed with expectations and weighed down by other people’s ideas of how you should be or live your life? Well then, you are not alone. So many feel depressed, exhausted, or even motivated by what others think of them. But why does it matter so much? With Society’s constant hammering of the perfect vacation destination, home, family, and other things, it’s no wonder we are fighting a constant battle with ourselves about how to act and spend our time. Let us not buy into those ideas of how others envision you (unless you share those views of yourself). Instead, boldly revel in the uniqueness of you!…

Finding Your Rythm!
Here’s to you all out there who tackle the day with zest! Sometimes, the hardest part of the day is when your alarm clock goes off, the drive to work, or right before your workout. Sometimes we dread the unknown and make a bigger deal out of our task than it is. I am also certain that we have all felt that luxurious point, where you pushed through the doubt and fear and put one foot in front of the other to produce wonderful results. The moment when it all clicks and you feel in the zone. Grateful for waking up and doing the work. Proud of yourself for digging…

Glorious Travel Butterflies!!
Is it just me, or do you also get so excited at just the thought of planning your next getaway? Whether it’s a short stay-cation at a local hotspot or a 10-day cruise of the Panama Canal, the thought of planning the excursion is almost as intoxicatingly wonderful as the experience itself! I get so excited, planning itineraries, mapping out favorite local hot spots, and thinking of immersing myself in a new culture. The overall experience is such a thrill, that it always provides just the right amount of glee, to hold me over until the next trip. When staying in that state of mind of excitement and gratitude looking…

Creating a safe space…
We have all heard of child-proofing a home. But almost always that refers to a child’s physical safety. But many times the mental and spiritual health of the child is not regarded with the same vigor. To feel truly safe, one needs to be in an environment where their true self, opinions, and needs are heard, considered, addressed, and celebrated. It is so easy for families and individuals alike, to only see the world or circumstances through their lenses. But what of consideration for those sharing space around us? There may be differences in tastes, hobbies, interests, politics, and so on, but to truly feel safe one needs to feel…

How to channel and harness your positive energy.
Good Vibes Only! The practice of gratitude and simply thinking of the things love or love to do is a clear and present way to remain in a constant state of joy. It is nearly impossible to think of things that truly make you happy and tingly inside and then at the very same moment be sad, doubtful, or bitter. To truly let yourself be immersed in your favorite thoughts is to be swept away by them. Overcome with emotion your entire being feels the energy of seeing and feeling the thing you love that you are thinking about. This sends shockwaves through your nervous system from your brain to…

I know a Secret…
How in the world do you move forward when you have no idea which way to go?!? At times do you feel stuck in the mud, or maybe even cement? Frustration would be a relief when you feel so lost in the weeds, that you feel you have no possible way to free yourself from the mire. I have been there periodically and it can weigh you down like an anchor if you let it. Learning to adapt new techniques to overcome that feeling and see your way through, can be as simple as finding little guides or mantras that can help you through the tough times. For some, the…
