In this season of gift giving, try giving yourself an experience. What nourishes and restores your soul? A warm bath with candles? A goodor a trashybook? A morning walk? The taste of hot apple cider? A chat with a friend?
Crazy as it sounds, schedule your “gift experience” on your calendar and hold to it in the busyness of the holidays. Then just relax into your gift and allow yourself to be in whatever state you find yourself. Afterward, you can reflect: what did I experience? how do I feel now? to what other “experience gifts” might I treat myself?
