Kindness is Kool Yule

So many folks out there dealing with the pressure of the season. Even though it comes around the same time each year, we still find ourselves unprepared for the emotional toll it can take. Stressed. Struggling. Tired, or just plain worn out. Life…..well…….life just being life.

This is so normal. You are not alone in feeling the way you feel. Sometimes it truly does seem like a giant leap from ‘oh crap’ to ‘oh yeah!’

What to do? What to do?

Here’s a thought. How about practicing kindness?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you say. Really, you think. This is the best you can offer? What can possibly be in it for me when I’m already feeling crushed by the bows, boxes, tinsel and lights?

Okay. Understood. But, let’s just put a reminder out there. Kindness feels incredibly awesome. And it is totally reliable and consistent. No matter your situation. No matter your circumstances. No matter the amount of stress, tiredness, anxiety or frustration. Showing kindness to another makes your spirit brighter and your mood lighter. Just sayin’.

So, look for opportunities to spread some love and practice kindness. Be that fantastic version of you. Step outside of your bubble and remind those around you of all that is right with the world. Be the light that someone needs.

Because kindness is the coolest kind of yule!
