In this season of merriment and good cheer, it probably seems unusual for me to be creating a post about growing weary.

However, I actually find that it’s quite common to feel some sense of this as the year draws to a close, especially when we’re not satisfied with what we’ve achieved throughout the year or the results that we were wanting to create haven’t come to fruition.

I noticed in myself these past few weeks, actually, a growing sense of weariness.  It surprised me a bit, but because I was able to step out of it and become an observer, I was then able to move beyond it more quickly than I have in the past.

How about you?  What is your feeling state these days as 2011 comes to a close?

If you do indeed find yourself in a state of weariness, or you have experienced this state at one time or another, listen in to the tip below for some suggestions on how to shift out of this energy quickly and with ease.  There’s no need to feel alone, and there is no reason to stay stuck.

Just click on the triangle; the tip is 5 minutes long.

After listening, leave a comment to let you me know what your usual response is when you’re experiencing a state of weariness, and what you’re now going to do differently in order to move out of it more quickly.

I want to share with you an audio tip that I created last Tuesday, November 1st.

If you’re already feeling some stress around the upcoming holiday season, you’ll definitely want to listen in right away.

The tip that I share is very helpful for any area of your life, really, that you’re feeling stretched thin in, not just with anticipatory holiday stress.  I think you’ll find the perspective that I share particularly helpful if you struggle with saying no, as so many women and moms do.

Are you a tea drinker?  For a while now I’ve been enjoying green tea pretty regularly, and occasionally I will have some herbal tea. 

In today’s audio post I wanted to share with you a new kind of tea that I’ve recently been enjoying.  It’s called Tulsi Tea, and it contains ingredients that might help your body deal more effectively with the negative effects of stress.  It’s also caffeine-free, which makes it a great alternative to coffee!

Interested in learning more?  Go ahead and have a listen by clicking on the player below (just click the sideways triangle; the audio is about 4 minutes in length).
