Holidays are beautiful ways to commemorate and remember milestones, but what if you want to do things differently. We walk around with certain beliefs and traditions since we never thought it could ever be any other way. This episode talks about allowing yourself to celebrate your way.
This week we have America’s Independence Day, the 4th of July, and I was thinking a lot about this holiday since I evolved how I choose to celebrate it. Honestly, the different ways we choose to celebrate milestones evolve with us as people. I started to wonder things like: What are the new practices we want to establish to feel fully aligned with whatever holiday we’re commemorating?
I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP145’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. I have many good memories about the 4th of July, but it no longer aligns because my two pups really don’t like fireworks. I’ve come to a point of exploring my other options of celebrating while including my pups.
On our Wise Walk, I talk about allowing yourself to celebrate your way. Some people like surprises and some don’t. Some people like intimate gatherings and some like grand parties. It depends on what aligns for you. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
- As you think about significant holidays in your life, are you going through the motions upholding old traditions or are you clear about where you are in this moment of celebration?
- Is there a holiday in your life that has been causing an internal conflict?
- Can you express what you’d like to change to the people around you?
Each of us has a way that we want to honor milestones in our life. It needs to feel safe for you and something that keeps your vibrations high.
Celebrations help you commemorate what’s important in your evolution or the evolution of your surroundings. Change up your holidays with these Wise Walk questions:
-
- What celebrations give you joy?
- Can you hone in on the characteristics that make you feel the most connected to celebrations?
- As more holidays come, how can you bring more of that to other celebrations?
