Let’s talk today about being intentional, especially during the holiday season. I’m going to ask you a question and I want you to actually take a little time to think about it and answer honestly. What do you want your holiday season to feel like?
Problems don’t go away when the holidays come. Don’t you wish they did? If you’re feeling the weight of a heavy heart, join me for today’s episode on finding answers in our tough spots.
So if you’re struggling to get out of bed right now please keep doing it. You might not be able to think of the reason to keep living right now. But you won’t find the reason lying in bed. Get up and find your reason. Because it’s waiting for you. And once you find it it’s going to get ugly, in the most beautiful, wonderful way.
As women, we are often unduly critical and harsh with ourselves. We devalue our worth and the incalculable positive impact we have on the world around us. With these self stunting thoughts, we are prone to cocoon inward and rarely venture out of our comfort zones to embrace new friends or reconnect with old friends.
For some of us the practice of writing down what we are grateful for feels more like a chore than a blessing. Let me ease that anxiety for you. What’s important is to let yourself have a moment to mentally show thanks.
Have you ever had one (or a million) of those mornings where you just woke up, but you already feel frustrated, behind, needed, unappreciated and just…GAH? Oh momma, me too. Me too. Then I learned how to create the “miracle morning”.
Some trials I never have and never will be grateful for. However, I have learned I can still find ways to be grateful in the middle of despair and later, I am often grateful for lessons learned, for empathy deepened and a heart softened. Gratitude and sorrow can co-exist.
Decisions! Are you tired of making them? I know I get fatigued and wonder if I’m making the “right” choice at times. Can you relate? Join me on the podcast today for a few reminders about our holiday choices.
I love Thanksgiving! The time with family, the focus on gratitude, the food, glorious food!! But when it is over, these mixed feelings about the coming month seem to drop right onto me. I have a huge love-hate relationship with December…
I invite you to failure. I invite you to fall and hurt and be embarrassed. At the ends of those failures, you just might write an award winning book, land the dream role anyway, get a different gig that’s better for you, or say just the right things.
