MAKE ALL YOUR CHRISTMAS WISHES COME TRUE
It’s December 14, less than two weeks until Christmas.
And I am not stressed about it at all!
In fact, I am casually shopping for a North Star tree topper and setting my table for a dinner party with dear friends. In an unburdened state, we have the headspace to make wishes. Believing that “faith without works is dead,” we know we need to take action and do our part for our wishes to come true.
So I did what many children do this time of year…
DEAR SANTA – MY WISHES FOR CHRISTMAS:
- Instead of harried and rushed – be truly calm inside and out
- Instead of an over-booked schedule – a calendar for self-care, reverence, and reflection
- Instead of shop ‘til I drop – spend wonderful time with dear friends
- Instead of numbing through the season – be present, intentional, and authentic
- Instead of tuning out with TV – light the fire, plug in the tree, and phone a friend
- Instead of fear, doubt, worry, and isolation – faith, action, hope, courage, and discipline
Santa brought me a DO-IT-YOURSELF on wishes!
DEAR LAURA – WISHES COME TRUE WHEN YOU:
- Follow your non-negotiable self-care routine
- Spend time with dear friends
- Show up full of cheer and without expectation for Christmas lunch with family
- Relax by the fire, enjoying a crisp in the air and the comfort of home
- Do your work with gratitude, knowing that you are doing what you love
- Look at Christmas lights and savor Christmas cards from others
- Say yes to invitations and have fun!
I am able to take on Santa’s challenge and make my wishes come true, because I gave up people pleasing and little-white-lie-telling – along with feeling responsible for and care-taking others. My behavior changed radically. My relationships improved significantly. I let go of expectations and outcomes.
