Christmas is a wonderful time of year, but it comes with its own stressors. This year, connect with your higher (or better) self during the holiday period.
But what does that really mean?
It's about embodying the version of you that encompasses all the qualities you admire. That can mean being patient, kind, understanding, thoughtful, empathetic, active, efficient, helpful, encouraging, and non-judgmental. Imagine how you want to be perceived by those around you. When things get hectic, when stress looms, or when things don't go as planned, take a moment to ask yourself, "What would my higher self do?"
Here are a few ways to connect to your higher self this Christmas:
Embrace the Spirit of Giving:
Get involved in holiday tasks, whether it's assisting with shopping, cleaning, cooking, or contributing to preparations. Your involvement can spread positivity and strengthen bonds.
Choose Response over Reaction:
In the face of disagreements or conflicts, resist the urge to react impulsively. Instead, take a deep breath, count to ten, and consider your response carefully. Respond with thoughtfulness and grace.
Be Future You Today:
Why wait until January to work on self-improvement? Start now by maintaining your exercise routine, making healthier choices, and dedicating time to mindfulness through meditation or breathwork.
Disconnect to Reconnect:
Put your phone down and engage with your loved ones. Ask yourself, 'If today were my last day on Earth, how would I want to spend it?' Choose to be present in your own life, savouring moments with friends and family.
Connecting with your higher self isn't about people-pleasing; it's about becoming the best version of yourself you aspire to be. Give it a try this Christmas and see how it can help lead to a happier, calmer, more fulfilling celebration.
