It’s That Time of Year...


Everywhere we look, we’re reminded that it’s time to shop, to feel cheerful, and to plan our time with friends and family. And, as December comes to a close, we are encouraged to either reflect on the past year, or set our sights on the year ahead and make resolutions. And, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that alongside all of these messages, we see numerous articles and stories in the media about “holiday stress.”


The concept of “living in the moment” might just be the one that works best. As we’ve often heard, if we’re too focused on yesterday or tomorrow, we’re missing out on today.


So, what do you want to create for yourself today? We know how to make those shopping lists and to-do lists, but how about these lists:


  1. ✦  What do I want to think about today?

  2. ✦  How do I want to feel today?


These are the things you have choices about, in spite of whatever curves get thrown into your day.


At the end of the day, wouldn’t it be nice to be able to reflect with clarity and know that you created your day exactly as you intended...and not find yourself lamenting “where did the day go? I have no idea what all I did today...”
