Tips for the Holiday Season

dreamstime_xs_162294076.jpg

‘Tis the season to make memories! For many, it can feel like the season of stress and chaos. I wanted to share a few tips to hopefully make it more enjoyable!

  • Cherish the amazing relationships in your life and worry less about who may or may not like you.

  • Reach out to those you have not talked to this year and let them know that you are thinking of them.

  • Have empathy and compassion for others. Don’t judge; you don’t know where they are on their journey.

  • Always build people up, rather than break them down.

  • Be the spark that lights a fire in someone else this season.

  • Stop sweating the small stuff - dirty footprints on a polished floor, grubby hands marking a crisp linen shirt as they encircle your waist in a hug, bad hair days, less than perfect make-up, expression lines deepening as your face starts to reflect life's experiences – none of that matters in the big picture.

  • Laugh more, love more, forgive often, smile, be spontaneous and at times even impetuous, cry when your heart is breaking and reach out when your heart is overflowing.

Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season!
