HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM DYSG

Happy Holidays! The holiday season is a wonderful time to create meaningful practices that foster joy, connection, and a sense of gratitude. This is an opportunity to choose a joyful tradition for you and your family. 

Here are some happy holiday practices that can help bring warmth and mindfulness to this special time of year:

GRATITUDE TREE

Get Creative with a Gratitude Tree. You can use an artificial tree or a paper tree. Each day or week leading up to the holidays, write something you’re grateful for on a piece of paper and hang it on the tree or wall. It could be an appreciation for loved ones, personal growth, or simple joys. As the tree fills up, it becomes a visual reminder of all the blessings in your life. This practice encourages a spirit of gratitude and shifts the focus away from materialism, helping to create a deeper sense of holiday contentment.

KINDNESS ADVENT CALENDAR

Set up an Advent Calendar for Kindness. Instead of a traditional Advent calendar with gifts or treats, each day you complete a small act of kindness. These can include paying for someone’s coffee, donating to a charity, writing a kind note, or calling a friend just to check in. Spreading kindness helps build positive energy and deepens connections, making the holiday season even more joyful and meaningful.

LIGHT A PEACE CANDLE

Pick up a special candle to be used for this ritual. Each night during the holiday season, light a candle as a symbol of peace, love, or a specific intention. You can meditate or simply sit in silence for a few minutes, focusing on the warm glow of the candle. The simple act of lighting a candle is a beautiful way to bring mindfulness and peace to the busy holiday season.

HOLIDAY REFLECTION JOURNAL

You can create a scrapbook or journal for your holiday reflection. Set aside time during the holidays to reflect on the past year. You can write about what you’re proud of, lessons learned, favorite memories, and what you’re looking forward to in the new year. Add gratitude lists and intentions for the upcoming year. Reflecting brings mindfulness and closure to the year. It can be a grounding way to stay connected to what truly matters during the hustle and bustle of the season.

These are just a few practices. What new practices do you want to add your holiday traditions? Discover Your Spiritual Gifts wishes you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season!
