First I recommend you stop blaming yourself.
It’s not your fault the shops were all closed just before Christmas. I had plans to go to my local gift shop and buy some unique and beautiful non-high street presents and give retailers (apart from Amazon) a chance this year.
So, here’s a quick thought. How about giving someone a thoughtful gift this year? A gift of time and dreaming. You’ve probably seen those experience ads by Virgin. Well, how often do you allow yourself to dream of what you really want out of your life?
Are you worried you will feel bad because you can’t have everything you have ever wanted?
The thing is, many people don’t even know what they really want out of life. What will they do when they are thinner, have less arthritis pain, more flexibility, more freedom to do what they want and feel good about themselves. It’s a struggle to come up with these answers.
That’s why, in my strategy sessions, using my coaching skills, I enable my clients to get really excited, inspired and motivated to figure out what they really want in their lives.
Just an hour of your time can be spent on YOU thinking, dreaming and believing in having everything you ever wanted, and then you can figure out how to get there. Wouldn’t you just love that gift? I wish someone had given it to me when I was feeling sad, lonely and depressed on New Year’s eve, many years ago.
Now I am so grateful and happy with all the goodness in my life. I have reconnected with relatives and friends I had lost touch with or felt let down by. I have learned how to let go of old hurts and resentment and now know how to focus on what I want to achieve to feel good about myself so my life is more meaningful. I feel so much better about myself. And my work is really meaningful to me. By being of service to others, I feel I am having and leaving an impact on the people in this world. I believe we all want to touch others – whether it be our children (if we have them), our friends or our parents. That’s why we give presents. I love giving presents. This year, I am doing the twelve days of Christmas for my Husband so he is getting a present to open every day from Christmas day until 6th January. I am getting so much more out of it than he is – which seems nuts!
What we do for others ends up doing so much more for us.
It’s still not too late to get the best gift of all. Figuring out what you really want in your life or giving that dream to your best friend, daughter or relative!
How long do you take thinking about what you really want?
We’ve had a very challenging year. Next year might still be hard, or perhaps even harder, but beating yourself up about what you haven’t done won’t make things any better. It’s never too late though. You can start right now planning for what new and exciting things you want in your life! You can work on ways – finding out – according to your personality, the easiest and most enjoyable ways to get there.
I am so excited for you, for all the wonderful things that lie in store for you and those people in your life you really care about.
