This week Myrriah encourages you to spend some time considering your values around the holiday season.  Take some time to think about the kinds of mindfulness and self care practices that you need to schedule into your day, even as your schedule might shift and change.  She invites you also to think about boundaries you have set with family members or ones you need to set; and stick to it!  It can often be hard to stay strong in your boundaries when its "the holidays" and you are clinging to a spirit of cheer.  But, remember how hard you have worked to set and keep those boundaries.  You can find a way to still be your own best friend and support your own needs, while bringing cheer to others around you.

"you are your own best friend. you are the only one who will never leave you. you are the only one who will always support you and want the best for you. so start acting like it. start being the best version of yourself because you deserve to live a life of greatness. start honoring your body, feeding it goodness and listening to its desires. start respecting your worth by walking away from anything that is no longer serving you.  I'm talking people, places, and things. let them all go. because your soul is watching you act out here on earth and wanting you to change. that's why you feel so much chaos. that's why you feel so uneasy. change is calling. and you need to do it. you need to listen. analyze your life and find all the things wrong with it. and make them right. and do it with love in your heart and with love for yourself. make those changes. because no one else is going to do it for you. only you. it's always you. forever and ever."
