The holiday season has arrived! This time often evokes a wide range of emotions and reflections, from grief to gratitude, sorrow to joy, anxiety to wonder, and everything in between. Embracing each moment, whether big or small, joyful or sad, can help you stay authentic to yourself during this season.
We often put ourselves under pressure when purchasing gifts, but simply being present can be a gift in itself. Being there and truly in the moment for someone in need is priceless. Whether it's offering a shoulder to cry on, giving an amazing hug, or just being there, presence is a gift.
Staying authentic to yourself involves establishing healthy and suitable boundaries, as well as budgets. Perhaps this year, instead of giving numerous gifts, you could create a shared experience with friends or family. Consider making a batch of treats for your neighbors, donating to a local food pantry, or volunteering together at a community event. The holidays are about discovering your joy and spreading it. I encourage you to embrace your presence. It's a powerful gift to yourself and those you care about.
