With Christmas just around the corner, we realize yet another year has passed and we tend to look back at what we have accomplished, or we start beating ourselves up about the things we have set as goals, but somehow the year slipped away and we didn’t manage to do.
The most wholesome time of the year
All in all, it’s a wonderful, cheerful and also sometimes sad time of the year. And that makes it somehow the time when we are the most honest with ourselves. This time for reflection when we see ourselves as just being a human, who accepts who they are and learn to love themselves just they way they are: maybe not accomplished according to society standards, maybe even lost in what they want to do with their life.
Just look in the mirror without any expectations, judgement, or not picking or focusing on the things that you don’t like and think about all the people who love you and support you, cherish the memories of the ones who loved you unconditionally and who are no longer with us. Then, think about all the lives of the people you somehow touched in your life: whether by being a supportive friend or an encouraging colleague or being a loving parent consoling your child when they have a hard time.
Throughout all this, you’ll only see messages of love: a friend saying to you ‘Talking to you feels like I’m wrapped up in a warm blanket’ or your child saying ‘Good night’ to you followed immediately by ‘I love you’ or a colleague saying ‘Thank you for listening to me, that really helped me put a perspective on things’.
Then you realize you are worthy and accomplished, yes, whatever you did professionally or in your personal life this year, helped you grow even if it doesn’t necessarily feel like it.
You have been surrounded by love and support and that helped you more than you could ever imagine.
Everyone has down moments when they feel low and maybe slightly depressed, but when you think about the big picture, it’s all good, secretly you get a message of love almost everyday, even if you don’t see it or hear it.
Go blossom!
