Gifts to Ourselves

Posted on December 12, 2009 by Emily Bardeen

‘Tis the season of giving and I’m interested in knowing what gifts you’ve given yourself. Not the kind you buy.  I’m thinking kind of more like…..homegrown.

Like bravery, for example. This year, did you step out of your comfort zone in ways you’ve never done before? Or maybe persistence.   Do you find that now you just keep going when things are rough and not even think about giving up?

Perhaps you gave yourself the gift of focus  -  zeroing in on what’s really important to you  – and letting the rest go? Or how about patience? The calmness that comes when you accept that your timeline isn’t everyone else’s is a powerful gift.

Did you give yourself joy?

By all accounts, it’s been a challenging year.  And yet  – or maybe because – of these challenges, you’ve had opportunities for amazing insight and growth.  What gifts have you given yourself this year, and what are the challenges you faced?  I’d love to hear your stories.

    The best gift a gave to myself this holiday is quality time for myself and family. That’s more than what material things could give.
