Where I live, December brings joy and excitement with Christmas, as well as an invitation to soften, slow down, and reconnect with what truly matters. We take the time to look at the year in retrospect if we can be present enough to appreciate that we’ve come so far. As 2025 winds down, this year, I feel a sense of restoration. December can be a month less about pushing and more about aligning with intention.

Here are three simple ways to recharge and replenish your energy:

1. Vision Your Month
   Take 10 minutes to imagine how you want December to feel. That could be peaceful, joyful, spacious. Write down a few guiding words or intentions to shape your days. Plan your weeks ahead which can help your intentions.
2. Give Gifts to your own Nervous System
   Sip warm teas, breathe deeply, and practice gentle movement. Even five minutes of stretching or stillness resets your vibe. When things are difficult, remember helpful mantras, such as “This to shall pass.” Say kinds things to yourself when things get hectic.
3. Reconnect With What Feels Loving
   Choose activities that genuinely warm your heart. That could include holiday crafting, slow dinners, soft music, walking at sunset or saying hi to an old friend. Follow what brings joy to your heart. See people in their best light. Give grace and accept it, too.

Wishing you a peaceful holiday time,
