Getting Creative for the Holidays

Hey Love,

As the holidays quickly approach, it can be a magical and fun-filled time, but also one that comes with a lot of extra pressure, anxiety and expectations. Searching for the perfect gift, hosting the perfect dinner, planning for the perfect trip.

One way to bring a little more simplicity and soulfulness into this busy season is to tap into your natural talents, interests or creative passions. Here are some inexpensive ideas to try based on your particular zone of genius:

If you are tech savvy: Create a family slideshow, design an email holiday card, make a shared pinboard for holiday activities

If you are a born philanthropist: Organize a family closet clean-out, pack toiletry bags to give to homeless, collect canned goods for distribution

If you love family time: Plan wacky holiday-themed games, schedule a pj movie marathon, create an in-home scavenger hunt

If you are a kitchen wiz: Make homemade treats for teachers, develop a special holiday mocktail, set-up a cookie decorating station

If you are a music maven: Put together a seasonal playlist, host an informal holiday jam session, research local choral concerts

If you are a visual artist: Get extra crafty with present wrapping, make handmade decorations, visit holiday craft markets

Notice that none of these ideas cost much money, but there's a huge reward in aligning your interests with activities that can bring more meaning to the season. It's not just in our words (or purchases!) that we show our love, but through our actions and intentions.

Remember that creativity isn’t reserved for the few - it’s a gift we all were given. But it sometimes takes help to reconnect with our natural abilities and interests. And that's exactly what I can help you with. If you are feeling creatively blocked, stuck or unfulfilled, let's work together to find that missing spark. I've got all the tools to help you feel reinspired, realigned and ready to take on whatever creative dream you desire.
