Earlier this month we discussed the love language of gifts, and how remembering the little things can mean a lot to someone. Tis’ the season for merriment and gift-giving and we tend to get caught up in creating, making, or purchasing gifts that we forget to give back to ourselves.
I am sure you have all heard of the 5 love languages, but if you have not, here is a quick breeze through. The 5 love languages are specific ways that someone might prefer (even subconsciously) to receive and show love. The possibilities are Words of Affirmation, Acts of Service, Touch, Quality Time, and lastly, Gift-giving.
What types of emotions does the holiday season incite in you? For me, this time of year brings warmth, a sense of community, and gratitude. It is when I can feel joy in being surrounded by those that I care about. However, with all that happiness can also come a great deal of stress and anxiety, and sometimes even loneliness. We can sometimes idealize these times, and honestly, I know that sometimes we can hide the struggles that we’re feeling!
Christmas and the holiday season is definitely a magical time of the year. It might be the music playing around the house, gift-giving, or even the Christmas movies. The season feels super special!
I want to help you take that special feeling into the New Year and beyond, and to encourage you to find the magical moments in your everyday lives.
If you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed from the excitement of Christmas, you’re not at all alone. The stress of Christmas, New Year, and lots of family events can be quite overwhelming, to say the least. If we add the pandemic to the mix, there’s a lot for us to process mentally and emotionally, which doesn’t always leave a lot of space for reflection during this time.
