12 Days Of Christmas Day 10

Welcome.

Find your comfortable position and close your eyes.

Breathe in deeply.

And exhale fully.

Again,

Inhale.

And exhale.

Once more,

Drawing in acceptance.

Releasing resistance.

Let your breath settle.

Life moves in seasons,

Just like nature.

There's a season for planting,

A season for tending,

A season for harvesting,

And a season for rest.

Each one has its purpose,

And each one has its beauty.

Think back to earlier seasons of your life.

The season of young adulthood,

Full of energy,

Ambition,

Building.

The season of raising a family or establishing a career.

Intense.

Demanding.

Purposeful.

You showed up for those seasons.

You did the work.

You built something meaningful.

And now you're in a different season.

This season,

Your 60s and beyond,

Is not about proving yourself.

You've already done that.

It's not about achievement.

You've achieved plenty.

This season is about enjoyment,

Wisdom,

Freedom,

And depth.

You no longer need to say yes to everything.

You can be selective.

You can choose depth over breadth,

Quality over quantity,

And meaning over obligation.

This is the season for savoring.

Your morning coffee,

A good book,

Time with people you truly love,

Hobbies that bring you joy without pressure to monetize or optimize them.

This is the season for wisdom,

Sharing what you've learned,

Mentoring when it feels right,

But also knowing that you don't have to fix everything or save everyone.

This is the season for authenticity,

Showing up as you truly are without the masks or performances that earlier seasons required.

And this is the season for rest.

Guilt-free rest.

Your body has earned it.

Your mind has earned it.

There's nothing wrong with you for not having the same energy you had at 30.

There's nothing wrong with wanting quieter holidays,

Smaller gatherings,

More rest.

You're not in that season anymore.

Take a moment to honor the season you're in.

To accept it.

To embrace it.

To recognize its unique gifts.

Now take a deep breath in and release.

Begin to deepen your breath.

Wiggle your fingers and toes.

And when you're ready,

Gently open your eyes.

Honor your season.

It's exactly where you're meant to be.
