The Perfect Gift

Tis’ the season of giving.   This holiday season give yourself a gift.  A gift you don’t need to shop for, order, wrap or even put a bow on.  Indulge in the gift of giving yourself  credit for all of the things you’ve tried and or accomplished this year.  So often, we focus on what we haven’t done or haven’t crossed off our to-do or bucket list.  Chances are, you’ve done a great deal, but you haven’t taken the time to appreciate the positive steps and actions you’ve taken over the past 12 months.

Find a few minutes to stop and reflect.   Some areas to ponder might be personal development, nutrition, spirituality, fitness or quality of life.  Perhaps you tried a new class and have integrated a key element from it into your life. Did you start eating a little healthier, and you’re feeling more energetic and motivated as a result? Maybe you’ve managed to get more movement in your day-to-day activities or added a self-care ritual to your routine.  Has a friendship or relationship been made that impacts your happiness? During the past year, did you have more life-balance, rearrange your priorities or become more self-aware?

A quick look back, may be the best gift you may receive.  This year, celebrate yourself and all that you are.  Happy holidays!
