I woke up this morning alittle annoyed. Thanksgiving is next week and there is planning and prepping to do. Not to mention the normal amount of stresses and anxieties that come along with being together with family on the holidays.
Naturally, I meditated on this and the feedback I got was, Only put my time and energy into the things I am responsible for, the things I can rightfully control and/or the things or people I am accountable to. And wouldn’t you know it I came out of meditation feeling SO MUCH LIGHTER. The list of things I attached my worries to got so much shorter.
So I am encouraging you as we go about the season before you react to anything or anyone (let’s be real sometimes people including family will fully try you for the holidays) take a moment to first, breathe. And then consider the above and if you’re not responsible for it, can’t control it or are not accountable to it, be ok with letting it go. Or letting that person be who they are without attaching your feelings to thier actions.
En Vogue said it best, “free your mind and the rest will follow.”
Enjoy being lighter for the holidays… even if only in spirit. 😉
