So it's the holiday season, and you are caught up in the hustle and bustle of preparing to cook, travel, and share the gift of giving. But let's take a beat and tap out of that high-energy rush so we can make sure to enjoy this time of connecting with loved ones and the most important person—yourself. Here are three great ways to slow down and enjoy the moment instead of running from moment to moment.
Mindful Meditation
You don't have to set aside large chunks of time to get the benefits of meditation. Sometimes, just taking a few minutes to slow down and remember why you are doing it all is the perfect way to experience the holidays with gratitude.
Start a Holiday Tradition
Start a holiday tradition where everyone makes a tree ornament. This is the perfect way to slow down and enjoy the moment while being creative and creating memories in the present, as well as tangible items that create core memories for you and your loved ones in the future.
Create a "Treat Yourself" Tradition
Start implementing a way to pamper yourself as a thank-you to you, by you, for taking care of all the tedious details that come with holiday preparation. It can be as small as treating yourself to ice cream after finishing your holiday shopping before heading home or as big as a massage to create a peaceful pause between the completion of your holiday errands and before you set off to travel to your holiday destination or before your guests arrive and take on your hosting duties.
Always Remember:
The holidays are more than what you cook, buy, and do. It's about creating and sharing moments with the people who matter most to you. So don't let the season tire you out and cause you to miss the real reason for the season.
Love you lots!
