Suddenly it is the middle of October. In a matter of moments the holiday season will be with us. Time, as it always does, will fly by and suddenly guests will be knocking at your door. The question is how prepared will you be?
I’m a planner. I begin thinking about things well in advance and set a course based on these explorations. It is never too early to plan, so here’s a check-list for some big holidays that are moments away:
Pick a theme. Whether it’s Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas/Hanukah decide now the theme that you will explore as you celebrate and decorate. What idea makes you smile (carved pumpkins, piles of fall leaves, vintage toy decorations)? Take out a notebook and begin to write down your ideas. It’s a well-established fact that when you write something down you take the first step toward manifesting the reality.
Make a List. Start with your theme ideas and write down the steps you need to take to make the ideas a reality. It may be things you need to buy, make, find or dig out of storage, but write it down. Once you have your to-do items on paper you have a road-map for success.
Take Action: You have a map for success. The only thing keeping you from succeeding is a lack of action. You can never start too early to buy, make, find or pull out of storage the items that you need to create your holiday dream. So get started and remind yourself how beautiful the end result will be.
