The Idea of the Week

The best present you can give to yourself and others this season is your presence. This 3-minute article shares tips for being present during a time that is depicted as joyful but can easily become overwhelming.

We can show up for ourselves and for others by first ensuring that we are taking care of ourselves, and that starts with checking in with ourselves:

  1. Pause
  2. Breathe
  3. Ask yourself: “How am I doing?” 
  4. Listen
  5. Act on what you need

Practice of the Week

This 3-minute read offers 5 Ways to Check In with Yourself During the Holidays:

  1. Have you eaten a good meal?
  2. Did you get a good night’s sleep?
  3. When were you last alone with your thoughts?
  4. Is the way you’re spending time nourishing you?
  5. Are there feelings you’re afraid to feel?

How was your check-in? Let us know on our Instagram or Facebook page!

Come explore ways to better understand what’s happening in your life and what’s to come in the future. Come explore ways to improve your intuitive abilities and how to use those skills in your everyday life.
