Experiment + Appreciate
In the spirit of “practicing what I preach” here’s what I did throughout…
I thought of all of this as an experiment.
Instead of judging what I was doing, I decided to think of it as an experiment. I said to myself, "I'm just trying it on. I'll see what happens as I go and I'll have a better sense of how it went for me and for them." Throughout my time with them, as I experimented with some of these new ways of being, I would ask myself, "Do I feel more connected or less connected? Did I bring more of myself or less of myself? Did I experience more joy or less joy?" The answer, every time was, "Yes! Me taking a little bit extra for myself did bring more connection, presence and joy."
I also appreciated wildly!
I took the time to appreciate myself and my people for our time together and said an extra thank you for their patience with my need for space. They seemed perfectly fine with how much time we spent together and from then on I was much better at taking care of myself in the midst of the season. Now THAT’S worth appreciating!
As you glide into the holidays, take time to experiment with some of the ideas and tools I’ve shared this week. And if nothing else, remember, what you appreciate, appreciate… so keep appreciating!
