Holiday Love

Happy holidays.

In these hectic moments,

When we focus on giving and thinking of so many other people whom we truly care about,

I'd like to take a few minutes to focus on receiving.

To go deep within.

To know that it's okay to find time for yourself to renew.

Please be seated.

Take a deep breath in.

Let it out.

Please take another deep breath in.

Let it out.

Focus one hand on your heart and one on your stomach.

Allow yourself a moment.

If you could do anything right now,

What would it be?

Would it be to take a nap?

Would it be to listen to a favorite song?

What feels good to you right now?

If you did this,

How would you feel?

Would you feel relaxed?

At peace?

Happy?

Fulfilled?

I challenge you to have the courage to give yourself a holiday present by taking care of yourself,

By knowing you don't have to feel pressure of others' perceptions.

Listen intuitively to your heart.

Focus on what you need.

Take a little time to put yourself first,

And never feel guilty about it.

Breathe in,

Breathe out.

Please repeat after me.

During this holiday season,

I'm going to help myself by doing.

What can you do?

What can you do to ensure you don't feel guilty about taking this next step?

How can you focus on loving yourself?

I support you.

I want you to know you are good enough right now,

And your only job this holiday season is to love.

Love by loving yourself.
