How are you feeling after the holidays? Feeling a bit tired? Feeling disconnected with work and a regular routine?
That's natural after all of the outer actions and "doing" that has taken place up until now. Sometimes it creates a habit of busyness. Saying yes to invitations or a feeling that we "should" get together over the holidays because you have some time off.
I'd encourage you to take time to connect with your own inner guidance. Ask yourself these questions:
What do you need for yourself right now?
What would replenish you and fill you back up?
Many of us need a bit of solitude and recovery from the giving to others. A perfect time to give back to yourself is before the New Year as the urgency of getting things done goes on pause for a few days.
What if you received one of the following? How do you think you'd feel?
- Quiet time with a book
- A break from cooking and going out to eat
- Time spent in nature
- Going for a walk or a run
- Watching movies at home or going out to the theatre
- Stay in your PJs all morning watching TV
So, before automatically saying yes to the requests of others and filling up your calendar, make yourself a promise. Decide to do something really special and loving for yourself this week.
Pick the day and the activity. Receive and enjoy the time for you.
Peace and Joy ~
