It was a peaceful day.
Looking up at the sky I saw it – the perfect blue sky with streaks of white.
Then I thought of my daughter, family, friends, and others I love.
Take a moment to get back to peace.
This is a gift you can give to yourself.
First, take 3 big breaths in and out, slowly.
This calms your body, calming your mind.
Continue breathing (with eyes closed if possible) until you feel calmer.
Then, appreciate everything.
Start by asking, “who am I most grateful for?”
Think about them and silently thank them for being in your life.
Or be radical – give them a call to say how much you appreciate them, care about them, love them.
This will improve your day more than you can imagine.
Pick up your phone now.
Appreciation for those closest to you, especially this time of year, creates calm, happiness, and peace.
Then notice what else you can appreciate in your life and give all your attention to that.
This includes the lessons of resilience. Give yourself credit for learning and growing.
Appreciate that you are strong, you overcame many challenges in your life.
Appreciate whoever helped you grow this year, who contributed the most to your life.
This may include those who most challenged you - your “teachers.”
Send them thanks and peace.
Appreciate those you think are “different” from you, and vow to make a new friend.
This is perhaps the greatest gift you can give to yourself – to connect to and appreciate another.
Recognize your connection to nature, the peaceful beauty all around you.
Appreciate nature – take in the beauty in your life.
Take a moment to get back to peace.
Appreciate everyone. Appreciate everything.
Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays.
I wish you peace.
