With one holiday down, we’re near the end of 2016. How are you holding up?
This year, I did something new that significantly changed my Christmas. I loosened the reigns of old traditions and cultivated new ones like hiking with friends. It felt so good that I vowed 2017 would be about rethinking the habits I do mindlessly. Are buying Christmas gifts for every single person I know, for example, worth the financial and emotional stress? Are over-scheduling events just to people please everyone worth the expense of my family’s health?
Instead of resolutions this year, my plan is to be more conscious. What I want more of in 2017 are health, freedom, and joy. What I want less of are suffering, material things, and guilt.
What do you want in 2017? If rearing healthy children and fostering a healthier self are on your list, you’ll want to keep reading this week’s posts.
