Giving Presence This Season

As the holidays are upon us, everyone is scurrying around town to find that perfect gift to give those important in their lives. This time of year is filled with excitement and joy but can also stir up stress and anxiousness as the clock ticks closer to deadlines and last days. As you take deep gentle breaths that bring you to calm, be gentle with yourself and imagine in your mind what really is important in your life.

Does it come in a box? Can it be plugged into a wall socket? Will it be forgotten in a few days?

The relationships that we nurture are what keeps our heart singing. The special connections we share near and far are more than a passing thought but rather something that fills our hearts with memories and support throughout our years together.  Be thoughtful and show your gratitude for them.

So, give the gift of your presence this season and choose to take the time to share experiences that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s time catching up over a cup of hot cocoa over the phone with those miles away, playing a fun board game with music lulling in the background, or strolling through a beautiful street or park with a dear friend, open your heart to those you care about and be present.

It is the best possible gift you can give to them and yourself and can be given in every moment.
