Feel, See, Savor: My Christmas Mindset

Christmas and the holidays hold different meanings for each person. Emotions about the season range from extremely positive to, for some, extremely negative and lonely. As adults, we often find ourselves waiting for a Christmas miracle to fulfill our dreams, only to feel a bit let down. Instead of relying on external sources, why not reclaim our Christmas and make our own miracles happen? Here are four steps that can help us Feel, See, and Savor Christmas, increasing the likelihood of our Christmas miracle becoming a reality.

Anchor Your Mind on Your Own Personal Christmas Miracle

Your personal Christmas miracle is the truest, deepest reason for the holiday season - your deeper yes! It's essential to identify one meaningful goal or purpose, keeping us anchored and preventing distractions. Whether it's serving others, celebrating religious events, enjoying family togetherness, or finding peace and joy, your anchor should be the guiding force for the season.

Constantly Look for Signs of the Miracle

We tend to find what we're looking for. Knowing our personal Christmas miracle allows us to focus on what truly matters. By using all our senses to perceive the essence of the holidays, we can actively seek and recognize the signs of our miracle. Make a note of and appreciate at least 10 examples of your own Christmas miracle every day.

Manifest the Miracle Through Your Own Giving and Living

Don't wait for the season to come to you; go to the season. If togetherness is your most important miracle, make preparations to be with family and center your gifts around creating shared moments. Direct your gifts, attitude, and spirit towards your one purpose, eliminating distractions that aren't aligned with your miracle. Lose yourself in the act of giving, and focus on quality rather than quantity.

Be a Witness of Your Christmas Miracle

Share your experience of the Christmas miracle with others. When you see something beautiful, hear something positive, or taste something delightful, share it with friends and family. Discuss the process of creating your personal Christmas miracle and share every instance you witness it happening during the day. Document your journey in your journal, on social media, and in conversations to spread the joy and blessings of your miracle.
