EP 7: Embracing the Holiday Season


Listen Later

I share 4 things to help you move through the holidays with intention, presence, and gratitude.
1. Embrace the chaos!
2. Slow Down!
3. Reflect on 2018!
Get cozy - engage your senses helps your mind slow down
Choose a way to express yourself, I do this with journaling, feel free to use another method if it speaks to you. If you are journaling, use a free write method, nothing has to be logical or full sentences, you are engaging your right brain here, enjoy the creativity!
Go throw each month and write (or express) what comes up, asking yourself what did I learn from _____________?
Circle themes as you re-read your notes, then do some more free writing around these themes. What did you learn? Is there anything left that needs addressed this year?
Engage in a gratitude meditation
Take your gratitude a step further and express your gratitude for those in your life that brought you lessons. This will help you deepen your connections with people.
4. Intentional Self-Care Planning
List 2-3 of your top core values and define them
Brainstorm 2-3 actions that will allow you to live into these values
Set intention for big events that are guided by your values. This will help you be present at the event and engage in ways that will grow your being.
Write down when you will pause each day to do NOTHING
Find an accountability buddy! Share your self-care intention setting, especially when you intend to pause - this will help you stay committed, will guide you to connect with others, and you may inspire your buddy too!
You will have plenty of time to set intentions, goals, and manifest for 2019, for now - spend time reflecting, nourishing, and going inward to close out 2018.
