The
holidays are finally upon us. As we prepare to make special memories with our
closest friends and family, we should remember the year we had and look forward
to the year ahead. As you cook your famous Christmas ham or ponder memories
from holiday’s past, think of one thing you’d like to achieve next year.
During
these times we tend to get consumed in the festivities of the holidays. As we
do our best to make everything special for everyone, we forget to make
ourselves a priority amongst the chaos, laughter and cheer. So after you put
Santa’s cookies in the oven, spend a moment mapping out your goals for the year
ahead. Think about the one thing you desire more than anything else. How will
your life drastically change when you achieve this goal? What has to happen in
order for you to achieve this and what is your plan to get started?
After
evaluating your goals and making a plan to take action towards them, it’s
important to give thanks for everything you already have. The universe is all
about the exchange of energy so when you ask for something, also say thank you
for the blessings that have already been bestowed upon you.
Next,
immerse yourself in the energy of the season by thinking of ways you can give
back to someone in need. By blessing someone else, you are in turn sending
blessings to yourself because you are radiating at the frequency of love,
kindness and respect. What you give, you attract in return.
Pay
attention to the moments. We always look for signs that will knock us down and
leave our jaw dropping, but the truth is, God speaks to us in the moments that
tend to get overlooked. You can find the answers you seek in the twinkling eyes
of your grandchild or the brightest star in the dark blue sky. You may find
that all you needed to do to find your answer was quiet your mind while sitting
on your couch with a cup of hot cocoa after everyone has gone off to bed. This
is the season of giving, so be
kind to others and make someone’s wish come true, just take
a few moments to remember your own wishes as well.
