A meaningful holiday season
The holidays can be a joyous time of year, but they also can escalate stress levels in an already hectic life. While some love the holiday season, others approach it with a measure of dread and the rest of us are somewhere in between.
How can you enjoy a meaningful holiday season?
Take a moment to step off your “treadmill of life” and pause. Consider the following:
- What do the holidays mean to you?
- What have been some of your most cherished memories from previous holiday seasons?
- What are you most thankful for?
- What would you most like to remember about this holiday season?
- If this were your last holiday season, what would be most important to you?
The holiday season tends to be a busy time. Taking time to decide what is most important to you can help set some limits.
Remember that putting a little time aside for yourself each day can really help you regain a sense of balance and centeredness so you can be more present and compassionate with those you care for. No better gift than that!
