One of the delightful aspects of this season of the year is gift giving and receiving. We live in such an abundant world and have many gifts to share with our loved ones as well as the world. Here are just a few suggestions to perhaps expand your gift-giving ideas during the holidays with no expense whatsoever:
Gifts for Yourself
Give yourself the gift of peace & quiet
Allow yourself to rest & relaxation
Give yourself permission to be in the moment
Dress warmly & take naps
Practice gratitude for all of your blessings
Gifts for Loved Ones
Tell someone you love how you feel about them
Forgive someone you really care about
Invite a friend for tea and conversation
Take a child for a walk in nature
Snuggle with your pet
Gifts for the World
Conserve water whenever you can
Bake, sew, knit, paint or sing your gifts
Wrap gifts in the funny pages
Shop, order and ship on-line
Donate to the food bank
This is sounding like a Dear Abby holiday column, isn’t it? Practicing mindfulness is a wonderful way to celebrate the season without overdoing, overspending, over committing or over rushing around. Take a few moments each day to breathe deeply and remember what is most important in your life. Share that inner peace with everyone you meet.
May your holidays be warm with love and your new year bright with possibilities!
With love & blessings, Becca
