Elevate Your Confidence To Pursue Your Dreams With Passion
Have A More Mindful Holiday in 5 Steps
Christmas (in a non-theological meaning) celebrates the rise of the longer days following the Winter Solstice. It’s a universal holiday that is meant to bring people together, regardless of their religious beliefs.
Every year, we meet together to celebrate the return of the Sun, and to prepare for the upcoming calendar year.
Here are my tips for having a more mindful holiday.
Make an effort to engage with your relatives even if you don`t feel close.
Focus on their stories instead of talking first. Using empathy is precursory to avoiding unnecessary arguments.
Congratulate them on their achievements, or encourage them if they are trying out something new.
Instead of being a passive guest who shows up at the door, says ‘hello,’ tastes the food, and leaves – bring something you’ve made yourself, or ask how you can contribute to the celebration.
Instead of choosing generic gift cards, pick something that would make the recipient feel seen and appreciated.

The most precious gifts we can give each other are our undivided attention, appreciation, and attentiveness.
Let me know if any of those suggestions resonated with you, and if you have anything else to add to the list.
You Attract WHO You Are, NOT What You Want And WHO you are is a byproduct of your upbringing and the relationship patterns inherited by your parents/society You must first understand your inner child archetype and release the emotional triggers holding you back.
Success, in any area of your life, is 25% of what you’re doing and 75% who you’re BEING. Ask yourself, “Who AM I BEING while communicating with my partner/the people in my life?” Then ask yourself, “Do I like this person?”; “Do I like the way I communicate?”
Do you often focus on being so caring towards others that you forget your own needs? Do you find yourself trying to take responsibility for other people’s feelings and problems to the point of emotional burnout? Do you often say YES to things you don’t want to do because you don’t know how to say…
It is the best way, indeed, to celebrate Christmas – to be fully present.
