‘Tis the season to prioritize self-care💌

Even in the midst of all the busyness make sure to rest and make time for yourself✨ Here are 5 affirmations I’m using this holiday season:

❤️I am present, I am patient, I breathe through stressful moments
💚I release unnecessary expectations, I know that I am always enough
❤️I find happiness in the smallest joys
💚I feel calm, centered, and grounded within myself
❤️I trust myself, I love myself, all is well

So many times people will tell me “I just don’t know what to say” when their friends or family turn to them. I will often tell them to “just listen”.

This! Plus they learn from and imitate us. If we tell them “in a minute” they learn to respond to us the same way.

As parents, we often say,
“In a minute.”
“When I finish this.”
“Just wait.”
And yet we expect our children to respond to us instantly.

It’s not hypocrisy — it’s unconsciousness.
We’re juggling a hundred things at once,
and they’re absorbed in the one thing that matters to them.

But what looks unimportant to us
may be the moment they were finally concentrating,
finally creating,
finally expressing,
finally feeling capable in their own world.

Children don’t measure importance the way we do.
For them, play is purpose.
Exploration is work.
Imagination is focus.
And interruption feels just as jarring to them
as it does to us when we’re pulled away from something meaningful.

And here’s the piece we often forget:
children can’t transition as quickly as adults.
Their brains don’t shift gears on command.
So when we demand instant compliance,
we’re asking them for a skill they’re still learning.

None of this means we must drop everything for them —
but it does mean their world deserves respect.
Because the way we respond to their moments
teaches them how to respond to ours.

When we slow down enough to honour what matters to them,
we quietly teach patience,
respect,
and the very skills we hope to see reflected back. ❤️

This! Let go of the idea of perfection and embrace the idea of enough.

The uncertainty of the future can cause many to feel anxious. When this happens ground yourself in the present by using your senses to see, feel, smell and hear where you are.
