Holidays can be a wonderful time for taking stock of what matters most to you. This can include family, community, helping those less fortunate, and loving the earth. If you feel driven to give the people in your life gifts, consider presents that encourage positive living or whose impact will continue to be felt long after the holidays.
Let's be reminded of the importance of self-care during this joyful, yet often, hectic time during the holidays. We can create calmness and tranquility for ourselves. Do things that bring you happiness, help you recharge, and nourish your soul. Whether it's practicing mindfulness, doing yoga, or simply enjoying a cup of tea, these small acts of self-care can have a profound impact on your well-being.
Holidays and joy are two elements of our lives that are naturally intertwined. Traditional celebrations awaken within us an ardent desire to reconnect with the people we care about and to share our abundance. During the holiday season, we feel more driven to actively practice compassion, tolerance, selflessness, and gratitude. When we feel stressed, we find peace in the company of loved ones. And, filled with warm thoughts, we endeavor to ensure that others can share in our celebrations. Yet while happiness and holidays go hand in hand, the serenity and optimism that blossom within as we act on our festive feelings need not be relegated to a few days or weeks each year. We can carry the holiday spirit within us all year long if we make an effort to embrace a celebratory frame of mind no matter what the date.
May your holiday sparkle as much as you do and that family and friends remain faithful and dear at all times. Sending you the most heartfelt greetings and lots of love.
