Many of us look forward to the holiday season, but this time of year also triggers anxiety and reminds us of past disappointments. This mixture of tumultuous feelings can add to our stress and create drama with loved ones and colleagues.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Laverne ext. 6337\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/laverne-6337.aspx?utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-laverne-ext-6337\"><em><strong>Your detailed relationship reading is waiting!

We may wonder, can we afford to give the gifts we know they want? And after spending tons of time and effort shopping for those perfect gifts, will it all feel worth it if we get disappointing gifts in return? Who is expecting a gift from you? Who do you tip during the holidays and how much are you supposed to tip them? How can we enjoy our ability to give? I\u2019d like to share what works for me.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><b>A Gift-Giving Ritual <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Several years ago, I started a gift-giving ritual that allows me to give throughout the year. It also serves as a tool for destressing and cleansing\u2014it keeps the bad juju away! I went to a craft store and bought a plain wooden box with a latch on it. It only cost a dollar! I painted the box and used a drill to make a coin slot in the top. Then I hung it from my rearview mirror in my car. Every time I get change, I put it in the box. It takes about a month to fill the box up with loose change.<\/p>\n<p><b>Stressed, Vexed and Jinxed <\/b><\/p>\n<p>On days when I am feeling stressed, vexed and jinxed, I start looking for a place to unload my charity box of loose change. Sometimes it\u2019s a reading fund. Sometimes it\u2019s toys and school supplies for veterans\u2019 children. Other times it\u2019s canned food for the local food bank. I might also use it double tip my favorite waitress.<\/p>\n<p><b>Centering Energy <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Releasing the change makes me feel empowered and brand new. It\u2019s a small, simple thing that helps me feel happy and in control of my life. It\u2019s something I can do by saving up a little over time. This act creates good energy and it gets rid of the negative energy in my life. The negative energy is replaced with positive, productive energy. When I give, it centers other people\u2019s energy, and it centers my energy in return.<\/p>\n<p><b>Your Giving Spirit <\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you are in a giving spirit this holiday season, give to someone or something you believe in. You\u2019ll feel the negativity leave your body and the positive, productive energy rush in.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Laverne ext. 6337\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/laverne-6337.aspx?utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-laverne-ext-6337\"><strong>Psychic Laverne ext. 6337<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every holiday season, we stress about giving them what they want.
