Life and COVID recently forced me to slow way down. As a result, I began to wonder, "How do I want to show up this holiday season?" If I don't want to show up frazzled and overextended, how DO I want to show up? Let's talk about how we want to show up and how we can experience all the joy and peace of this season!
Recently, I came down with COVID which turned into ear and throat infections. I was miserable, but I believe it was a gift that helped me to slow down. I wondered, "If my energy is limited and I can't make the holiday season about DOING, what IS my goal this holiday season?
How do we want to show up for the holidays this year? How do we want our loved ones to experience us?
What if we could take an emotional vacation from the hamster wheel of negative thinking that churns away in our heads?
I give you a super practical exercise you can do RIGHT NOW and anytime you need to take a break from worry, negativity, and that critical inner voice that loves to tell us we're not doing enough. It only takes a few moments to take a break and choose to be grounded in peace and joy. From this place, we can show up to our holiday celebrations with an open heart and be intentionally loving and appreciative of those we'll gather with this season.
