Hey there Reader,
This is the season when we are reflecting on the past year, preparing, and looking ahead. It’s the season when we often place more of an emphasis on outward expressions than inward witnessing.
When we witness or observe, we are present. Not thinking of the past, nor worrying about the unknown.
Being present is a mindfulness practice that we learn through things like yoga, breathwork, meditation, prayer, slowing down, etc. And it has to do with reflecting inward and rediscovering or reconnecting with the light within.
We all have a light that was given to us by the one True Light.
And our light is a reflection of that True Light of the season…the reason we celebrate Christmas–God’s love for us, through Jesus Christ.
The light of the world that came to bring us out of darkness also shines in each one of us, and we have the ability to share it with the world, which is a pretty cool thing, IMO.
I like to think of your light as kinda like the spirit you bring to this world. When you share it with others it feels easy and light and looks like love.
For some that light might be shining brightly both inside and out. And for others, it may be dim.
A dim light may be obvious on the outside… or it may be hidden away, covered by a bright facade.
If your light is shining brightly inside and out, how can you extend your light to help someone else’s grow brighter, even just for a moment?
When we do this, an amazing thing happens…
But if you’re not intentional about how you use your inner light this holiday season, you run the risk of burning out right in the midst of the holidays or shortly after the new year… just when you want to have renewed energy.
Instead of burning out this holiday season, keep your light shining even amidst the chaos that might seem to surround you. I tell you how I recommend doing this in this weeks episode of Health Harmony and Happiness with Cathy.

Your light is a gift and needs to be seen by the world, but can burn out if you don’t take care of it. And that’s really easy to do especially in this busy season.
In case you need to hear it, permission to plan taking care of yourself this holiday season even as you’re taking care of everyone else❤️.
Cheers,
Cathy
