We all are inundated with the commercial side of all of the holidays, but what about something more personal, showing the unique connections we have with others?
As a wellness coach, I often have clients use a small journal to record their affirmations of what they see for themselves in the future. I think this is a great gift, a small notebook or journal with a cover that is artistic and represents the personality of the receiver of the gift. This a great way to encourage others to see their dreams and goals on paper. Encourage your loved ones to read and repeat the phrases multiple times a day. Creating the new reality through repeition and hard work is doable, especially knowing somone has your back. Who? The person giving their loved ones the little YES book.
Years ago, my husband and I kept a small pad by the house phone (remember land lines?) For a whole month of we wrote something each day about what we admired in the other’s character. It was a grateful pad that we could read about each other and what we saw in each other that was so good. It was eye opening to see what we saw in each other’s greatness! This is a great practice, and simple too.
Surprises are always fun and meaningful. Fill the trunk of your loved one’s car with his or her favorite beverage from the store, add a big bow, and it will make for a happy day!
I hope this has helped your readers.
Sincerely,
KJ Landis
