I got a lot of calls and messages on the day of the announcement &#8211; friends and clients feeling disappointed, lonely, scared and frustrated. They weren&#8217;t the only ones!! I felt the same way.\u2063<br>\u2063<br>But rather than trying to talk them out of their very legitimate and understandable feelings, I encouraged them (and myself) to feel however they felt. To name, acknowledge, and feel their frustration and fear. Because it&#8217;s a lot easier to work with feelings you know you have, rather than trying to paper over them.\u2063<br>\u2063<br>By working through my feelings, I also recognized how frustrated I was that I had to give up yet another important event this year: the Christmas market. \u2063<br>\u2063<br>Everyone has a litany of events they&#8217;ve missed out on in 2020 and I&#8217;m no exception!! I haven&#8217;t seen my family in Canada for a year and a half. I&#8217;ve missed my parents&#8217; 50th wedding anniversary and the birth of my nephew. \u2063<br>\u2063<br>So missing out on the Christmas market &#8211; where I celebrate my December birthday!! &#8211; was not an option.\u2063<br>\u2063<br>My mindset needed to shift. \u2063<br>\u2063<br>I recognized I needed something to look forward to, that was independent of the situation we&#8217;re in. Something that encapsulates the mood &amp; positivity of the festive season. Something that brings light into a grey, rainy, dark time of year.\u2063<br>\u2063<br>And here it is!! We built a Christmas market in our backyard!!\u2063<br>\u2063<br>We repurposed our kids&#8217; old playhouse into a &#8220;Gl\u00fchwein kiosk&#8221;. We decorated with lots of lights and candles. We bought a fire pit. And we can now celebrate the coming festive season outside, with appropriate distance, with a few friends. (One other household is the current mandate.)\u2063<br>\u2063<br>I have something bringing (literal) light into my life for the next 2 months. I have something I can look forward to that is not in danger of cancellation. I shifted my mindset and feel so much lighter and more positive.\u2063<br>\u2063<br>How are you feeling these days?? Would love to hear your thoughts!! \u2764<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jnhcoaching.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Julia.Signature.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1670\" width=\"149\" height=\"121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jnhcoaching.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Julia.Signature.png 388w, https:\/\/jnhcoaching.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Julia.Signature-300x243.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 149px) 100vw, 149px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How can you take control of your mindset and lean into a situation that is outside of your control? \u2063\u2063This week, Germany announced there would be a &#8220;Lockdown Light&#8221; for the entire month of November (and potentially longer).
