There is a well-known phenomenon that occurs during the holiday season that causes me to raise an eyebrow.

Many of us feel forced to gather with our families or colleagues, or persuaded to join the din of hurried shoppers, stressed out parents, and overworked employees. Pause for a moment, take a deep breath, look around, and ask yourself, “Does my holiday behavior reflect me? Am I willingly engaging in spending habits, behaviors, and events that better define and align with my values?”

If so, press on, my friend. Share your light and love and brilliant energy. If not, examine your unique beliefs, morals, and values and ALIGN. I guarantee, feeling like yourself – being divinely and uniquely you – as you walk through the holiday season will raise the collective vibration of humanity. SHINE ON!
