What would the perfect version of your holidays look like?


Hey Reader,

If money were no object, nor time, nor obligations or other schedule constraints, what would you do to make this the best holiday season ever?

Take a minute, right now, to really see, feel, hear, and smell what you want to experience. You need to know what your version of success looks like.

Do you want to read a different Christmas story every night with your kids?

Would you have an entire day dedicated to making traditional family recipes?

Can you sit alone in front of a fire with a hot beverage and read your favorite book for the umpteenth time?

Once you have a clear idea of *what* you want, you can plan the *how*. How can you make some (or all) of your ideal holiday come true within the actual constraints you have?

If you only have 8 holiday books, you need to get more to read a new one every night, for example. If you don't have an entire day free to dedicate to kitchen shenanigans, can you pick a single recipe to start with one evening?

If you find yourself overwhelmed and disappointed by the end of December every year, set yourself up for success this time by discovering what you really want from the holidays. Be honest with yourself. Be selfish, and petty, and childish in your imaginings. No one has to know.

Then get creative, make a plan, get anyone else involved onboard, and bring intentional peace and joy to your holiday.

Breathe deep. Drink plenty of water. You got this!

Hello Reader, Our affirmation stays the same this week: I have all the time I need. Remember: If you don't have all the time you need, there are only 2 ways to create it: Delete items from your to-do list or Delegate items from your to-do list I've been thinking a lot over the past week about having all the time I need for my hobbies. As a working adult, I don't always have time for my hobbies! And my hobbies are seasonal to an extent too. I don't need nearly as much time for gardening in the...
