Holiday Thriving Guide

The best Christmas present you can give yourself or someone else is help to be more present.

“I’m just hoping to survive the holidays.”

We’ve all said it. But spending 25% of your life just trying to endure the last three months of the year isn’t living - it’s coping.

What if the “most wonderful time of the year” didn’t cost you your peace of mind

Between overspending, overeating, overcommitment, and grief, the holidays can feel more like a marathon you never trained for. You don’t have to just “survive” the next three months. You can learn how to actually enjoy them and thrive in the process.

Your heart is speaking, longing to be heard, guided, and cared for.

The Holiday Thriving Guide was created for that very purpose.

This guide is a resource to help you toward that end. We have structured it around five simple questions that will empower you to do more than merely survive this holiday season, and to actually thrive.

Be who you are made to be, even during the holidays.

Inside this practical guide, you’ll find simple questions to examine:

• What does your heart remember about holidays growing up?

• How do you feel about the holiday times now?

Reflection questions help you name sadness with childlike simplicity, making room for real acceptance. Your emotional honesty is the doorway back to thriving.

• What needs have you stopped tending to because you’re managing others?

This guide compassionately shows where you’ve traded your own heart’s care for someone else’s comfort.

• Who can you share your heart with this year?

We will provide a few ways you can share your heart with yourself, others, and to God.

• What is your do you hope for during this year’s holidays?

You’ll reflect on the smells, sounds, tastes, and moments your heart longs to experience.
