Dig Deep in December ❤️
December is a month we rarely forget.
The end of the year in sight. TV adverts, shops and the media making it very clear that now is the time for gifts and Christmas lists. For making merry, for indulgence and for making others happy with expensive gifts. But there’s obviously more to it than that. And not everyone celebrates in the same way!
It’s easy to get caught up in rushing about. And risk missing the very things, we are seeking in the first place, the…
quality time with friends which bring us real happiness
quiet moments of reflection which restore and calm us
spirit of kindness and giving which bring joy and a sense of wellbeing to all
The things which we can make the month of December most memorable!
But in a year in the UK where we’ve seen 1 x day over 40 degrees, 2 x Autumns and 3 x Prime Ministers, we could be forgiven for thinking we’ve seen it all! And no surprise if we are all feeling a little worn out. How can we possibly raise our energy levels to make this one stand out?
It might help to create some space.
It might help to Dig Deep in December.
Here’s 31 ways to enjoy…
🤲 GENEROSITY inspired intentions to bring happiness, joy and delight to others.
🎉 CELEBRATION filled moments to lift energy levels and last long in memory
😌 REFLECTION filled moments to feel gratitude for good people and experiences
🔗 CONNECTION inspired questions to discover purpose, meaning and happiness
December and the festive season can be a time of celebration and reflection. Meaning, it can also be a challenging time for some people, remembering loved ones. The first full week of December 2nd - 8th gives us a time to reflect on National Grief Awareness Week - take a look at the wonderful resources provided by The Good Grief Trust. And a reliable source of celebration and fun, can always be found with Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day.
And with the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, World Human Rights Day on 10th December, is a great reminder of our connection to others. And a call for more generosity of spirit, in a month of giving.
And in the spirit of giving, here’s two small gifts from Waking Waves…
A moment of fun: Our updated Mindfulopoly board game
A moment of calm: 30 minute mindful pause on Insight Timer at 1pm, TODAY [GMT]
I hope this December is one where you can dig deep to celebrate and find your spirit of generosity. To reflect on the good things and to connect with those you live or work with. And whether you use this calendar as part of your free guided course, or on it’s own, that it will be an inspirational way to support your health, happiness and wellbeing!
