Are you busy?: take a few moments to reflect

Today is expected to be a busy day at the shops as everyone gets those last items they need for Christmas. Or perhaps for some it is their first item!

In our affluent society of Christmas celebrations, present giving and receiving, Christmas trees and decorations – whether you are a Christian, Atheist, Druid, Muslim or any other faith, do you take time to reflect and express thanks for all in your life?

December is a good month to say ‘thank you’ to your loved ones for being in your life and for all they do with and for you.

 

Thank you to your partner who has worked hard all year to build a home and provide for their family.

Thank you to the mothers who have brought together a happy Diwali, Christmas or any other festival in your culture on top of their normal family duties.

Thank you to friends who have just been there for you, to laugh and cry with you.

Thank you to the children who have brought joy and love into your life even if it also brings you challenges.

Thank you to grandparents for listening to you and providing childcare support for those challenging moments.

In the busy run-up to year-end, pause for a moment and be grateful for the loved ones in your life and remember to let hem know you value having them in your life. The English are not always good at expressing themselves so an extra special reminder for those in the UK.

Thank you from me for your support in helping to share the Your Soul Family messages. Please share this post with friends and family to raise awareness on techniques to enable you to feel in control of your life so you can:

  • be more effective at work
  • live more harmoniously at home.

All the best for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Love, Alison Wem
