On the Be Well Wednesday audio blog, I explored the topic of forgiveness, in particular forgiving ourselves.  This is such a tremendous gift that we can all be extending to ourselves this time of year, and in doing so we open up so much more space for all that we would like to create in 2010.

When it comes to your to-do list, all the requests for your time, the regular demands that haven’t eased up, you really do have the power to choose what no longer is a fit for you or what isn’t as important anymore when it comes to your holiday preparations and activities.  As we shared on the episode, remember to keep in mind these three comforting words:  “…and that’s okay.” 

Whatever you end up creating for the holidays, it will be enough.  Trust that.

On today’s audio blog I explore how important it is to tune into your body and its wisdom, not only during the hectic holiday season but all through the year.  I know this has been an ongoing lesson for me in my own life.  How about you, does this ring true for your life?  If so, you can listen in on the player below, or you can download the episode to your MP3 player by clicking here.

Ahhh….couldn’t we all use a bit more peace and calm, especially this  time of year?!  I know I could!  And, fortunately, a post that I came across earlier today might be just what you need to start enjoying a more frequent state of inner peace.  The post focuses on meditation, which is so often surrounded by such mystery, isn’t it?  One of the things that I liked most about this post is that it helped to simplify what meditation is and how it can be developed into a daily practice.  There are so many amazing benefits of cultivating a meditation habit.  Go ahead, take a look:
