There are only ten more shopping days left until Christmas! But guess what? You actually don’t have to get it all done – the holidays will go on smoothly and wonderfully even if a few things get forgotten or left off your ever growing to do list. Be kind to yourself, patient and allow yourself to slow down and enjoy.
Tomorrow, there is a big election. It is always important to participate in local politics, your vote could make the difference between prosperity or doom. Optimism is radical – don’t lose hope, but don’t sit by and let things happen without your say.
Sometimes you have to butt a few heads to build consensus.
Always keep your chin up and your eyes open. A positive attitude and a keen sense of observation will ensure that you never miss out on anything important.
Sometimes you just need something extra. Extra time, extra money, extra goats. Don’t be afraid to indulge every now and then.
Take extra care of yourself as the holidays approach – this can be a joyous time of year but also a time of year that stirs up all sorts of things. Be patient, practice self care and don’t feel bad about eating an extra cookie or two.
Self care isn’t selfish during the holidays
Unfortunately, it is inevitable that sometimes people say or do unfortunate things. You have no control over the actions of others, but you do have control over your own actions and reactions. As challenging as it can be, always choose kindness and compassion.
Illegitimi non carborundum
When you step in mud you have a choice- either let it ruin your day or make the most of it! Keep on keeping on and don’t let a little bit of mud get you down.
If you are running behind, don’t stress and still show up! It is better to be a few minutes late than it is to totally miss out or not show at all. You never know – someone may be counting on you to be there!
Sometimes it feels like I am always running behind!
Change is inevitable, and if there is anything you can count on in life it is that things will always change. The best way to deal is to embrace it and believe that it will all work out.
Most of the time changes bring about improvements
If you are ever feeling overwhelmed just give yourself a gentle reminder that you are enough just as you are.
You’ve got everything you need already
