Stay Recharged for the Holidays
This week we want to take a fresh look at what it really takes to stay recharged for the holidays! During this unique holiday season, let’s lean into a few RISE tips and tools that promise to renew your body, mind and soul!.
R - RENEW YOUR SPIRIT BY CREATING MOMENTS OF SACRED TIME
For centuries, societies across the globe have engaged in sacred practices that elevate one’s faith, hope and a greater sense of purpose in life- all which have been scientifically shown to increase one’s happiness.
By being intentional with a daily ritual such as praying, meditating, journaling or reading a sacred scripture you will dramatically impact your heart and refresh your spirit.
I - IGNITE YOUR MIND BY PRACTICING GRATITUDE
Romans 12:2 states that we will be transformed by the renewing of our minds. And research shows that one of the best mindset shifts is to have an attitude of gratitude.
We suggest thinking of all the many blessings that surround your life, physically, mentally, financially, relationally and spiritually. During this season that is so often filled with busyness, take time daily to record the many blessings that abound and watch your happiness soar!
S - SHARE YOUR HEART BY SHOWING SMALL ACTS OF KINDNESS
Studies show our lives thrive when we are giving of our time and treasures to others. When we prioritize giving away acts of kindness and focus on serving others, life is much more meaningful, happier, stronger and better.
Have fun daily with giving away simple acts of kindness and you’ll unwrap the many gifts of love, compassion and joy.
E- ENERGIZE YOUR BODY BY PRIORITIZING THE WAY YOU EAT, MOVE AND SLEEP
You will experience the holidays with more life-giving energy as you intentionally weave in these 3 keys! Prioritizing foods that fuel you, movement that motivates and a good night sleep will set the foundation for enjoying the season.
