This year I feel very clear about how I am choosing to show up for the holidays and this last month of the year. ��Instead of feeling like I’m in the “end of year” time crunch, I’m choosing spaciousness and peacefulness this December. I want time to breathe, to connect, and to simply be. So I am letting go of the things that pull me into rushing, overspending, or trying to keep up with a pace that does not honor me and my truth this season.��E.G., this year I told my siblings that instead of buying each other things, I want to plan a weekend trip together. I don’t need another sweater, I need late night laughs and long hugs :) And the gifts I am giving my people will be ones that support them and their nervous systems. Circadian rhythm glasses, spa treatments, trips to our healing hotel and its mineral waters, red light therapy devices etc. because I want the people I love to feel well in their minds and their bodies.��Underneath all of this is the reminder to myself to remember what matters most to me this December and to share that presence with those around me. ��So, in this holiday “rush” of a season, remember: ��You are allowed to have needs and to give to yourself too.��You are allowed to ask for the things you truly seek and need from loved ones.��You are allowed to choose peace, even when the world around you is rushing.��My daily prayer practice this month: God, please let me choose presence today. Let me feel deeply connected to the world within me and around me. Let me stay anchored to my heart and rooted to Your earth. This December, I hope you give yourself the permission to follow what feels right and true for you. :)
