Welcome to a special bonus part 2 episode of The Divine Play Podcast "A Practical Guide To Living with Joy" where we're diving deep into the holiday season with a focus on evaluating the ecology of your boundaries. Mirilena and I come to you today, to explore what it means to detach from the constant doing and how compromising our values for a goal might not be the path to true fulfillment.
Imagine a world where radical acceptance of where you are right now is not only okay but celebrated. Picture leaning into what you value most and reaping the rewards of a life aligned with those principles. What if, instead of paying the high price of comparison, you could water only what you want to grow, recognizing that not everything needs constant attention? Much like nature, everything requires a calm winter season for growth and life.
Sometimes, we have the power to choose our winter—letting go of unnecessary noise, editing out distractions, and embracing gratitude for what we have. This shift allows us to lean into a more feminine energy, enjoying the present moment and finding joy where we are.
Remember, to feel better, we need to get better at feeling. Loving yourself where you are becomes the gateway to joy. Now, let's dive into 7 tips for a joyful and healthy holiday season.
1. Cancel Your Subscriptions It's time to declutter your mental space. Unsubscribe from the noise that doesn't serve you. Create room for what truly matters.
2. Don't Water What Doesn't Need Watering Not everything in your life needs constant attention. Identify what truly deserves your energy and let the rest find its own way.
3. Keep It Ecological Just as you wouldn't cut down an entire forest to grow a couple of wildflowers, ensure that your actions are in harmony with your surroundings. Consider the impact of your choices on the bigger picture.
4. Do Something "For Yourself" by Yourself Daily Prioritize self-care. Whether it's a moment of meditation, a solo walk, or a cup of tea in solitude—invest in yourself daily.
5. Give Yourself Grace Perfection is overrated. Embrace your imperfections and grant yourself the grace to navigate through the holiday season with ease.
6. Expect Neutrality Don't let conflicts overshadow the joy of the season. Set realistic expectations, and remember, sometimes neutrality is the greatest gift you can give yourself.
7. Bring What's Missing to the Conversation Imagine a world without shame or blame. In your interactions, be the one who brings understanding and compassion. Let's foster a space where everyone feels heard.
We're so grateful for each and every one of you, and we're beyond excited for the upcoming conversations we'll be sharing. Remember, this holiday season, water what you want to grow, embrace the calm winter season and love yourself where you are—because that's the true path to joy.
