Treat Yo'self Month

December is a great month for giving and being of service. To a definite point.

Pour from your overflow, not from your vapors.

If you're draining yourself giving time, money, and effort to everyone else without taking care of yourself along the way, get ready to lose your holiday spirit.

Don't let the holly jolly vibe shrink to feel exhausted or shortchanged when we don't feel we've received from others as much as we've given and feel more like the Grinch.

It can be easy to listen to that lying voice in our head that tells us, "It's all up to me. I gotta..." and then run ourselves ragged.

No, my love. Instead, practice self compassion, give yourself grace, and help others do the same. Inner peace is free and accessible anywhere.

Change the "I've got to" over to "I GET to" so you can instantly recall how blessed you are to have the resources and abilities you do instead of stressing. Lean into it, don't cling to your inner Grinch.

Nobody wants that for you, and those who do don't deserve the satisfaction of having it.

The true energy of the season calls for an abundance of love, joy, compassion, and gratitude regardless of if you're spending it solo or with loved ones. The reality is that, aside from divine intervention, only we can truly provide these for ourselves because only we know how to achieve that for us.

Leaving it up to non-mind readers is where we're going wrong.

The most important and foundational gifts we can experience are mental and emotional wellness. Once we have those in a healthy and happy state, we're able to give authentically and whole-heartedly with the true holiday and self-love spirit!

Restore yourself amidst the holiday hustle and bustle in 3 simple steps:

1. BREATHE. You're going to be doing it anyway so curl your lips into a smile, and maintain slow deep breaths. Fill the happy air fill your chest and visualize it filling your loved ones on your exhale.
2. Ask yourself "What does gratitude look like in this situation?" There's ALWAYS something to be authentically grateful for, even in the gravest of situations. Find it and lean into it!
3. Remember peace and joy exist in our chests, they cost nothing, and it can be summoned instantly simply with your thoughts.

To help achieve those two pivotal pillars in sailing through the season with your holiday spirit and sanity intact, I'll be covering a lot of content on the measurable power of your inner energy, mastering Inner Peace, Self-Love, the transformative power of Grace and much more!
