The Co-Mingling of Holiday Emotions
The co-mingling of holiday emotions. Is everyone jolly?
A resource by A Necessary Conversation

The months of November and December are often filled with festivities and celebrations. Yet, this time of year can also expose the co-mingling of emotions ~ such as joy/dread, happiness/sadness, contentment/anxiety etc.
The holidays can magnify these emotions, especially if one is experiencing death, dying or grief/anticipatory grief. There can also be profound discomfort if one acknowledges the, less than jolly, attitude.
Don't wait.....cultivate!
Cultivate equanimity during the season.
Courageously seek the authentic self.
Honestly acknowledge the feelings.
Accept the conflicting emotions.
Be authentic.
