What is the meaning?

Is this time of year feeling hard for you?  If so, consider this question- What do the holidays mean to you?

See, the thing is, the meaning you give something has everything to do with how you feel.

If this time of year means pain and past hurt, then you may struggle with feeling down.  

If this time of year means you have to do sooo many things such as baking, cooking, purchasing, hosting, to the point where you feel stressed and exhausted, you may struggle with feeling exhausted, stressed, and maybe even resentful.

If you are focusing on what you expect to get, you may be setting yourself up for feeling disappointed.  

You have the power to change the meaning to anything you desire.  To create a new reality for yourself.  To have a new positive experience you will associate with the holidays.  

So what meaning do you want to give this time of year?

For me, it means love.  A time to show my love for my partner, family, and friends.  To be love.  To be loving.
