It is the most wonderful time of the year! I love this season as it brings family and friends together. That being said it is also the hardest time of the year for many. Stress increases, depression sets in, and there is just not enough time in the day to get all of your “To Do” items completed.
So what do you do when that reality sets in? I know my first inclination is to beat myself up for taking on more than I can handle. When I go down that road something crazy happens to me. It seems as if there is less time in the day than normal. I feel shame and remorse, and sometimes I want crawl under a rock and just hide. Can you relate to that feeling?
So this can be a different holiday season for you if you are willing to incorporate these 5 tips into your life.
1. Humble yourself, you are not superman/woman, no one is expecting you to be perfect. Well, maybe someone is and it is probably you.
2. Acknowledge where you dropped the ball. Did you put too many things on your “To Do list?”
3. Take ownership for how your actions or lack of actions have had a ripple effect into your loved one’s life, and then go ask for their forgiveness.
4. Recalibrate, taking time to remember who you want to be in the lives of your loved ones. Say it out loud to yourself in front of the mirror, then adjust your actions and go be that person.
5. By doing this daily you will end every day feeling like you succeeded.
How you speak to yourself and what expectations you have on yourself will have a direct correlation on how you feel about you. So, give yourself a break today, do not hide under a rock. You are an incredible person and you have tons of talent and beauty to bring to this planet.
