Tell me about one of your favorite Christmas traditions! Here's one of mine!The first weekend in December we go pick out a LIVE tree, then decorate it with our kids. 🎄Now we aren't one of those families that have a tree that looks like it came out of a magazine.We like the homey-hodge podge-handmade-ornament feel. Just looking at them brings back a flood of memories and all the feel-good feels!But then, the most magical part: ✨My husband and I turn off all the lights in the house and turn on all the holiday lights, play Christmas songs, and cuddle up in front of the tree. Then we share everything we're grateful for and reflect on the year.And then...Start to talk about our hopes and expectations for this coming year.A vision for yourself is fun...a vision with others feels like it's overflowing with possibility.Tell me, what's a tradition you love doing with your family? 👇🏼 ...

I’ve always loved the concept of Hygge.❤️❤️Have you heard of it?It’s a feeling of warmth, peace, and coziness.Hygge is all about slowing down, being in the moment and enjoying the things that really matter, including quality time with friends and family.Being intentional with your environment, how you spend your time and who you spend it with and allowing yourself to soak it ALL in and really enjoy it.Some simple ways to create hygge in your life this holiday season:1️⃣ Start with your environment: I truly believe that everyone has a different sense of what feels cozy, so whatever invokes ALL the coziest of vibes for you, do that! For me, it’s a soft cuddly blanket, a nice warm fire and a cup of herbal tea.2️⃣ No tech zone: you can’t truly soak in all the wonderful people and things around you if you’re distracted.3️⃣ Do something you enjoy: you can do this alone or with your loved ones. Talk, read, write, play a board game… whatever makes you happy!Want to know about what hygge, gezellig, and Christmas spirit have in common? Drop your questions in the comments below! 👇🏼 ...

Do you have a gratitude practice?It doesn't have to be a huge thing...Just something that makes you smile and feel present.It can be thinking about what you're looking forward to in the day ahead on your commute. Or reciting 3 amazing things that happened in your day to your spouse before bedtime.It can also be written in a gratitude journal. 📓But as with any habit, the easiest way to incorporate it, is to keep it fun and do what works for YOU. AND if it's proven to make you happier and doesn't take a ton of time...why not? Right!?Do you have a gratitude practice? What does it look like? 👇🏼 ... See MoreSee Less
