It’s that time of year where there will be plenty of opportunities to indulge. My secret for enjoying the holiday season and all the guilty pleasures that come along with it is easy. I do whatever is going to make me feel good and I focus my energy on the positive versus the negative. I feel good about that piece of pie because it was exactly what I wanted. I don’t shame myself for having seconds on Thanksgiving but instead practice gratitude for being lucky enough to have a meal to enjoy. I also make it a point to not participate in those after holiday discussions where people share all that they ate and how bad they feel about it. I don’t need to feel guilt because I am doing nothing wrong. When you feel good about your decisions you are rewarded with an equally good outcome (i.e. no increase on that scale). It has worked for me thus far so I challenge you to do the same this year! What is your favorite holiday indulgence? xoxo …

The holidays can be super stressful especially on your pockets, but we have to remember this time of year is about giving and spreading joy. I read this a few days ago when I was feeling stressed and it instantly put things into perspective for me. I hope that it will help you out if the holidays have you feeling a little cray-cray too. If you are thinking, “I don’t have enough money to give,” bingo! Now, you know why you don’t have enough money. When you think you don’t have enough to give, start giving. As you demonstrate faith in giving the law of attraction must give you more to give. -Excerpt from The Secret How do you give back during the holidays? xo Nicole Let’s Connect: Bloglovin Facebook Twitter Instagram Youtube SHOP
