Christmas Eve Reflections: Presence Over Presents
There’s a quiet magic to Christmas Eve.
Twinkling lights. Stillness. Warmth of a candle-lit room. Crackle of a fireplace. Christmas Eve invites you to finally slow down, take a deep breath and drop into full presence.
This year, I’m feeling so much gratitude. This season I am grateful for the small, sacred things just as much as the big achievements: Right now I am cherishing warm pajamas, long walks, laughter over shared meals, the deliciousness of a good night’s sleep and — of course —the strength my body gives me every day.
This year taught me the beauty of choosing presence over perfection. Of being fully in my body, not just in my mind.
If you’re reading this, take a moment to honor how far you’ve come. Maybe it's been a challenging year for you. Maybe it’s been a transformative one. Perhaps a mix of both. But you are here. You are evolving. You are glowing from the inside out.
So this Christmas Eve, give yourself the gift of stillness. Feel the moment. Let joy find you in the stillness. Let love meet you where you are. Allow your nervous system to finally relax and receive the gift of calmness.
