Preparing myself internally with beautiful ornaments for Christmas (WEEK 184)
-Joseph Campbell
This year that is culminating, has been a very intense year in my life, and until a few days ago, unforeseen events, challenges, learning, moments of all kinds and very strong personally.
This year has brought me very sad moments, farewells, losses, but as I always say, also learning and what matters is to always look forward.
For this reason, until this weekend I had not been able or had the courage to make the Christmas decorations.
Someone said to me yesterday, I am not in the mood to celebrate Christmas and surely in many homes this will be the case. But Christmas, besides its religious meaning, also means family, colour, joy and good vibes. These last two come from within us and are reflected on the outside.
That's why, faced with the themes raised by Galen, I decided to choose the second one.
This weekend I am working and will continue to work on the Christmas decorations, which I did not do a few days before according to tradition, but it will not only be an external preparation but rather an internal one.
Many reflections come to my mind, what did I do right, what did I do wrong, did I learn or not from the situations that life has thrown at me this year.
But above all the preparation will consist in bringing joy to my heart, because that is where true happiness is born and grows, beyond having a decorated tree or lights in the window.
I will not only decorate my home, but also my soul.
To put aside thoughts of sadness, pain, low vibration, to fill myself with good energy. That is, in my opinion, the best preparation we can do at this time of the year.
I like colours a lot, and people who know me know that, it is reflected in my art. I am like that, but sometimes the circumstances of life make those colours opaque.
The preparation will be to revive those colours, even if the adversities still exist, but looking at them from a different perspective will help. Or at least I think it will.
One of the ways to fill myself with colour and joy is to walk through the streets full of light, to see the decorations that have been put up in the city and to breathe in the good vibes that are in the air.
To admire the colours, the trees, the crafts, the Christmas stalls. Walk through the streets dressed in a different way, as if they were wearing a gala costume.
Enjoying the spectacle of lights in my city, which is a true marvel. It seems as if your heart leaps out of your body when you are there listening to the music and admiring the light shows.
The preparation in my case will be to change the focus pole, so that next year will be wonderful. That is always up to us, depending on how we look at each situation.
We are responsible for our own life and for everything that happens to us, learning is part of our path and the preparation for this coming Christmas will depend on how I prepare my energy, my inner self to project it on the outside.
The decorations will not only be in my house, in my home, but in my heart.
They will consist of good thoughts, certainty, confidence, joy and very high vibration.
Discard what is useless, because stagnation in those thoughts is not good for me, nor for those around me. And as the principle of emptiness indicates, if we throw something out, it will be filled with something new.
I will try to make that new thing very beautiful, projects, expectations, positive actions and above all good thoughts.
Thank you all so much for watching and reading this far and thank you @galenkp always for these topics, today they have made me reflect a lot. Thank you very much.
Best regards and see you next time.

Thank you!
I think many people are apprehensive about personal and world affairs, so the spirit of Christmas is not the same. But we can now celebrate the end of this year and look forward to better things in the new one ✨
That's right @litguru , a lot has happened, personally and globally. Let's look forward!❤️
@avdesing What you wrote on your post suggests that you are going to celebrate Christmas alone. A little garland on the corner of the door reminds you of the holidays and prepare a simple little meal. This year I won't do it with my family. I know a person who has been spending it alone for years so I decided that this year I would do it with him. The illuminations in Spain are very pretty, my favorite photo is the 4th photo
No, I won't spend it alone but if there is one less person in my family and other circumstances too, it's a different Christmas.
It's good to be with others at Christmas and not to be alone.
So if you're not alone, it's better
This year a cousin of mine passed away and I have another sick relative... these are the sadnesses.
Realmente lo siento por ti
Thank you, a big hug!
woah at least you get nice cool weather for christmas at least this is what im assuming cuz i see people wearing jackets. imagine being in a place that is hot and humid all the time xD . i don't know when I think of christmas I think of cold weather or is that just me.
Good luck working on your Christmas decorations and I Hope you have a good one ;3
also hopefully that someone that had no mood to celebrate feels better :( sounds sad
Before I was in a country where it was very hot at this time of the year, now it is cool here but not too much, it is pleasant. Thank you very much @shawnnft ❤️
Hey that's great. which country was that u were when it was hot? and you're welcome !
I lived 40 years in Argentina and now I am in Spain!
Woah why the sudden move after 40 years
To change your life for the better.
OH ya I forgot but isn't Argentina the place with currency problem :(
Exactly, there is a tremendous mess, but my family and I, seeing what was coming, left 5 years earlier.
ooo u guys have good foresight. What does your family see for crypto next year O.O are we going up or down
Next year is the Halving of BTC, it is a very important year for the rise but I don't know exactly when.
hmm ya but idk if this will be overhyped or a sell the news type of thing where its jsut gonna dump all those too over bullish
We have to wait until March, then we will know a little more, I have two friends who do cryptocurrency analysis, we will see what happens.
oooo what's their accuracy on their analysis. I see I guess we got few months to prepare. Unfortunate I didn't have enough founds last year :D last year we were at like 16k btc :(
Yes, but it is already rising quite a lot, let's wait and see what happens, and it will also depend on the current world situation.
ya I guess there's ntohing else we can do. just have money prepared if it goes dump x.x
In the meantime, we will have to wait, work and collect crypto.
yes not much of a choice will just do what we can
👍👍
Dear, I think your reflection on the past life and how to project the future is very accurate. Remember that life is today and not tomorrow. At least I am very clear about that, at least I am. Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
I know your city is beautiful and these days even more so. I can imagine it looking at your photos. Thank you.🎄☃️❄️
Thank you very much @mamani for this reflection, you are absolutely right! Thank you and a big hug!🤗
Another year is gone, full of learning and challenges to face, some already overcome, others waiting to be solved. But what matters most, is to fill the soul with colors, as you say (0 desire to celebrate Christmas, because the family environment does not help much and the situation of the country either, but hey, it's just one night haha) 😂
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year my dear, here's to another year full of craziness! 😎
Here's to many more crazy things! Here's to that!
The polar bear and its decoration is spectacular and of course the decoration of the streets everything fascinates me, it is true when you say that you have to discard useless thoughts because they will not bring benefit to you or yours.
Exactly those thoughts are not good for anyone and the best thing is the good energy! Thank you Monica!❤️
What beautiful photos, and yes as you say, these dates not many of us are in the mood to celebrate, but we should still focus on those moments of sharing, being with family, thankful for everything, and with the desire that the next one will be better, with good thoughts, and better attitude, first of all, blessings to you friend, a hug.
I think the same, may next year be much better for both of us!❤️
So true, we have to prepare our hearts for joy, and through joy, confidence, I would add forgiveness, peace, and yes high vibration so we maybe shine in the dark as those lights that decorate our cities now. ✨
Many times there are moments of darkness, I've had several this year and that's why the important thing is that inner light, thanks @mipiano!
Our inner light has to guide us! Sometimes the darkness wants to take over, but the light is always there. ✨
I know, and I will focus on it, and so the darkness will be destroyed. Thank you!
I loved your post, dear friend @avdesing, it invites you to reflect.
What you say is very true, that happiness is within us and it is up to us to look for it within our hearts.
Christmas is not only about decorating every corner of the house, it is also a time for reconciliation, especially with our interior and healing to be able to move forward.
I take this opportunity to wish you a splendid Sunday
That's right, those outward trappings should also be in our hearts. Thank you very much always @jlufer 😀
This time of the year always comes with reflections, despite the adversities I'm glad you can bring yourself to stay positive and find the food vibes, that's the Christmas spirit 🥰
It's true, the important thing is always those reflections and good energy! Thank you very much @wendy23 😀
You are welcome, you know I've taught myself to always stay positive when something bad happens and it's been great, you could really see how things improve, but of course we all are human, so there's times when your mind go to dark places, but you have to be able to switch your mind back to positivity. It has worked for me.
Exactly, that's right, it's like changing the pole of thought. It is important to make that change.
Since I saw the title of your post I felt I already knew everything you were going to say... and yes, we agree on this, because I plan to do the same as you. My main challenge is myself. Only I know how much I am. So well... I will be working hard these days to receive 2024 more focused on me. Sometimes there are steps we have to take that cause a lot of pain, but for our sake, we have to do it. Hopefully I will find the strength, because I truly need it.
You will do well, because if my intuition does not fail me, you are a being of light, one light detects another and the answers are always in the heart of each one, look there and ask before sleeping that your double will guide you.
Cierto. Always before I go to sleep and when I wake up... it is so nice to see how the Universe always responds to me! I'm happy, my bike is ready to ride.
The maintenance could not be on Saturday due to bad weather but the mechanic almost just left.
I'm going to use it for the first time today!
Enjoy the bike!!! I'm going to film the light show!!!
😍👌
My country is going through a somewhat difficult situation, but when Christmas comes and the streets are lit up and dressed with joy, we all forget our problems for a moment and like good Latins we enjoy the moment, the customs and our people.
As an Argentinean, I can tell you that yes, I know what you are talking about... although I don't live there now I know what happens and I lived 40 years with that constant uncertainty in life. But when the holidays come, we forget about it for a while. It's good to step back and breathe.
Thank you very much @lavilorio 😀
