Festive Season – Season For Miracles

The festive season – The season we all enjoy; The season we’re all looking for; A season that fills us with joy.

What is festive season?

It is the time for buying presents, planning family gatherings, and preparing holiday foods. It is the time when most people get excited, when most homes are decorated, and we try to bring that magic. And we all pray that the experiences in the coming year will be good and that miracles will appear in our lives.

Regardless of one’s culture or background, everyone gets involved in the festive season in some way, whether by exchanging gifts with family and friends, attending company’s annual Christmas party, or attending or hosting a family Christmas lunch.

The holiday season gives us a well-deserved break from our daily responsibilities and work and brings a little more shine and sparkle to our lives.

But sometimes we forget that there is a deeper meaning to the holiday season, which includes spreading joy, and blessings, showing gratitude, compassion, recognition, love, and sharing.

The holiday season is also a time of reconciliation and forgiveness.

Ways to spread joy

How to practice gratitude

• Start your day with gratitude – First thing in the morning when you wake up say “Thank you for another beautiful day”. In addition to being grateful for the new day, you also made a decision that the day will be beautiful.
• Approach people with a smile and say “Thank you” for what they do for you – When you smile, your brain produces serotonin which makes you feel happy. And when you feel and express gratitude your energy changes.
• Count your blessings – Do not take things as granted. Notice the good things in your life and be grateful for them.
• At the end of the day summarise all the good things and say “Thank You” – Express gratitude for all the good things that happened during the day.
•  Keep a Gratitude Journal – Once a week, or more often if you like, write down everything you are grateful for. This will boost serotonin and activate dopamine production, which will make you feel happier and you will become physically and mentally healthier.
