In the joy and jumble of holiday tumult, between the high, high happy times of cross-continental vacations and celebrations with family, friends and loved ones, I’ve found myself a bit derailed (understandably!) from routines and “regular” days—and being critical toward myself and the situation as a result. I’ll calculate the sleep I’m not getting, the vegetables I’m not eating, the workouts I’m not doing and see stagnation; feel frustration.
And everything else?? I woke up today feeling softened after a New Year’s even wedding for a close friend. And all of the things that are happening? Everything I am receiving? I want to choose to look upon it all—myself, the world—with kinder eyes.
And navigating through an international airport on New Year’s Day? I’ve just found out it helps with that, too.
