The 10 Day Simple Green Holiday Challenge
Do you hear Christmas carols … and cringe?
Does the idea of holiday shopping fill you with dread?
Are you wondering where you’ll find the time for all the cleaning and cooking and decorating and entertaining you have to do between now and the New Year?
Are you already exhausted, stressed out and depressed by the holidays –
even though they’ve hardly begun?
I used to be.
Then I decided to challenge myself to create the simple, green holiday season I knew would make me happy (and be better for the environment, too.)
I decided that, instead of shopping and stressing for the holidays, I’d simplify.
Partridges in a pear tree? ARRRGH!
Meaningful and “green” traditions, good food, and time to breathe? Ahhhhh….
So I did it. Every day for 10 days, I took one action that I knew would simplify and green my holiday celebrations.
When I was done, I felt great!
In fact, I felt so much better, I wanted to share my success with you.
That’s why I created…
The 10 Day Simple Green Holiday Challenge
Why a Holiday CHALLENGE?
I thought a lot about what to call this before I settled on the word “challenge.”
The truth is, changing old habits IS a challenge. It’s hard to get out of a rut. Even if something makes you uncomfortable, at least it’s familiar. You’ve done it before, you can do it again – and soon it will be over, right?
But that attitude, that willingness to settle for stress rather than opt for joy, really robs us of the happiness and fun that holidays should be about. I wanted to get back to the point where I couldn’t wait for the holidays to arrive.
That’s where I am now. And you know what? You can get there, too. Here’s how:
Take the challenge, and go from “ARRRGH!” to “Ahhhhh….”
If you do, I guarantee you will experience these wonderful benefits!
Slow Down: The Simple Green Holiday Challenge gives you permission to: Stop running in circles. Say “No” to too many commitments, too much shopping, too much to do. Actually sit next to your Christmas tree or holiday candles and not stress about whether you have the time to relax – because you do!
Save Money: The Simple Green Holiday Challenge will keep more money in your pocket. How? You’ll save on home energy costs, gift wrapping, unnecessary gifts, and even the gas you’d otherwise burn up circling the parking lot at the mall. Wouldn’t it be nice to feel like the holidays didn’t break the bank for a change?
Go Green: “Green” is an important part of the Challenge for a reason.
Holidays can create a lot of waste – and waste a lot of time, too. Our Challenge may help you buy less but give more that’s meaningful, and create a lot less trash.
Your holiday will feel more natural, too, when you replace plastic and paper decorations and tableware with fresh greens, beeswax candles, lights that last (almost) forever, and more.
Enjoy. The point of the Simple Green Holiday Challenge is to Enjoy a Happier, More Joyful, Less Wasteful Holiday Season. As the saying goes, More Fun – Less Stuff!
“I devour the “simplify my life stuff” and would love the added halo of green as well. Bring it on!” Robyn J., Washington, DC
