the most valuable gift you can give

As you prepare for the holiday season, it’s easy to get caught up in the shuffle
of buying the perfect presents, cooking delicious goodies and preparing for all
the festivities.

All too often, this is also a time where you can start to feel the overwhelm,
anxiety and exhaustion kick in.

But before you let the inner holidayzilla or the Grinch who stole Christmas come out, remember what the holiday season represents. 

One of the most valuable lessons I learned in the last couple of years is that it's not about what you get or give, its about who you become. Holidays have
become a sacred time to spend time with the people you love.

Watch this week's episode to find out what the most valuable gift you can give
​this holiday season.

​Listen and inspire.
Ask each member of your family what they want in their life right now and really cheer them on. Ask lots of questions about what their dreams and aspirations
for 2016.

How can you support and cheer them on? Reminisce about your favorite times together. Talk about their dreams and share yours as well.
 
Take a time out
Take some time to reflect how you have been showing up for the people you
love most in your daily life.

Check in with yourself if you feel in your heart you can better support your
family and friends. Are your actions and priorities aligned with your values?
 
Go with good enough
Let go of control and allow yourself to play, to laugh, to share stories and to
bring out your inner child. You’re not fun when you’re wound up like a yoyo! Let
your hair down and simply play!
 
Rather than focusing on everything being prefect, take the time to slow things
down and savor the most important people in your life.
 
Always keep radiating your beautiful light to the world living life with passion,
​purpose and meaning.
 
With Love and Belief in YOU,
