Welcome to Episode 122! No guest this time because all y'all are running around like crazy people anyway. Putting up greenery and buying shit because you think if you don't get Aunt Gladys a singing gingerbread man, she'll give you the stink eye. You know what? She will anyway, save your money.
DO YOURSELF this holiday. I see your gutter minds you dirty birdies, but I ain't talking about bedroom eyes under the mistletoe. I'm talking about expectations and perceptions. What would YOU do if Christmas was the way YOU wanted it and not the way you THINK you wanted it? You're allowed to do that you know.
Pretend your life is a movie and you're playing the part of you and if you win the Academy Award this year, that mythical SELF LOVE will finally materialize and throw itself about you like a fabulous new cashmere shawl. Why not? Nothing else has worked to this point. Or maybe it has but just hasn't lasted long enough for you to notice. In any case, treating self-care as a game, and a movie and a pretend play, where you try out shit and see what works, is a damn sight better option than buying a bunch of bath bombs and wine. Your mind is occupied and OMG you might even have a little fun while you're trying to fix that voice inside which says if you don't have potato rolls on the table for Christmas, your neighbor will think you're a whore.
We talk about that in this episode. Take it easy my friends. No one is behind you with a clipboard ticking off your every imagined failing. You're fine. We're all a mess. Big Love. http://edacious.co/122
