Vibrational Thoughts Archives - These Are The Times

These are the Times

The holiday season is here! This is a beautiful time to connect with loved ones and show them how much you care about them. This a beautiful time of year to reflect on the year that will soon come to an end and make heartfelt decisions on what you envision for yourself  for the new year to come.

This is also a time of the year when it seems there is not a minute to spare and we all tend to get caught up in the frenzy – trying to get the decorations up, buying the gifts, let alone getting them wrapped, holiday cooking and baking, not to mention attending the holiday parties.

This year may be financially stressful for many of you or there may be some other issues you may be struggling with. Things are quite different than they ever have been this holiday season. These are the times to do things differently not only this holiday season but looking forward. 

These are the times to connect to source and open your heart to love. YOU are a fabulous gift – open that gift to share with all to see and receive. Give a heartfelt gift to your loved ones – the gift of YOU. Share the gift of YOU and see what happens when you offer a smile to strangers – you will be amazed how it could change someone’s outlook.
  

These are the times to look beyond ourselves. Be alert to offering a gift to those that may need it: helping someone with their packages; giving someone a hug; lending a listening ear to a troubled friend; giving up your place in line at the grocery store to the person behind you; offering your parking spot at a busy mall; for those in the winter climates – shovel your neighbor’s driveway; make a little extra for dinner and package it up for an elderly neighbor or others in need. These gifts of love direct from your heart are endless – become alert to them.

These are the times to be grateful for the many blessings in your life. You are alive and breathing.  You do have many things to be grateful for. You are an amazing person with so much to offer the world. Be grateful for the beauty of nature that surrounds you. Be grateful for your loved ones. Be grateful for the roof over your head. Be grateful for a fabulous new day and the opportunity to make it your best.

These are the times to let your light shine. Go within and find out who you are. Find your truth. Find out what brings you bliss. Meditate and identify any fears or old learned beliefs that may be holding you back. Realize that you are worthy of all things your heart desires.

These are the times to take care of yourself. Eat healthy foods and exercise whenever possible. Take the time to enjoy the things you like to do. Treat yourself to a bubble bath; a walk in the park; read a good book or watch a movie.  Laugh, smile and find joy in the little but amazing pleasures of life.

These are the times to forgive. Forgiveness does not mean condoning wrong doing. A forgiving heart is letting go of those hurts. Let your broken heart heal. Forgive yourself. People make mistakes by the freedom of their choices but will learn from them. We cannot change the past. Be present in the moment.

These are the times not only this holiday season, but everyday to love, live, laugh and enjoy your life. Yes, these times are different and it’s time to do things differently. No matter what it is that is going on in your life, it’s up to you to make changes to begin on the road to having the best holiday AND life ever!
