This month, choose to slow down…
For years we’ve been wrapped up in hustle culture, pushing ourselves to burnout, and leaving us feeling like we’re not enough. That we can’t accomplish all we desire, that we have to spend money to show our love, that the things we have currently aren’t enough for us to be happy.
But, what if instead of focusing on what we don’t have and want, we focused on what we have and love? What makes our lives easier. What makes our hearts feel at home. What inspires and excites us.
It can be easy to get tied up in the idea of giving and receiving from others during the holiday season but don’t forget that your own soul wants to give to you the most. And your soul wants to receive the most what it can only get by you. Specially, you honoring your energy, not pushing yourself, and giving yourself the love you deserve from deep within.
Make a list of the things you’re thankful for in your life, once you start writing them down I bet they’ll end up being more than you realized.
Happy holidays, friends!
