December Growth Dose
Here we are! The last month of the year. For some of us this year may have flown by, for some of us this may have been a bit of a slog. I think I’m somewhere in between with a year that has felt like bursts and stalls. Wherever you are, I hope you end 2021 in a way that feels intentional, joyful, and connected. Make your December growth-filled with these ideas:
Read
Buy Yourself the F*cking Lilies
By Tara Schuster
A fun combination of a memoir and a self-help book! I’ll be honest, I bought this book for the title/cover, but it’s content is good, too. Here is a favorite wisdom nugget: “You can't govern how people treat you or the things they say, but you can absolutely decide what you will do with the gospel that nothing is personal and people are limited.”
Listen
Adele’s new album, 30.
This is on repeat in my house! It’s soulful and wise. I particularly love the song “Cry Your Heart Out.”
Write
10 things you are proud of yourself for doing this year!
Do
Something that feels festive to you. It can be a traditional holiday activity like going to see lights or making a holiday drink, or it can be something else as long as it feels joyful! Maybe a solo date to the bookstore to pick out a new book or a trying a new hiking trail.
Ponder
What light do you want to shed in the world?
Wishing you a growth-filled December, my friends!
