“This is your friendly reminder to be kind, be nice and be good for goodness’ sake this holiday season. Even though this is a beautiful and wonderful time, we can’t deny that it can also be a very sensitive and triggering occasion. Now that we are all getting ready to see our families and loved ones, it is very important to stay connected to ourselves—to our souls.
“Please keep your mental health, emotions and consciousness in check by focusing on your breath, catching yourself before you get triggered, practicing mindfulness by being as present as you can be and always, always treat others the way you would want to be treated.
“Would you like it if someone asks you why you’re single or childless? If someone pressures you about your job and finances? If someone questions your life choices? If someone points out that you gained weight?
”Instead of asking these invasive and personal questions, why don’t we ask each other, “How are you? How is your heart?”
“Christmas will definitely be more special and meaningful when we can consciously exchange good energy with one another. When we can sincerely hold space for our loved ones without judgment. When we can just let each other be and spend time together in peace and harmony.
“More than the gifts that we are all excited to give and receive, let’s never forget the true meaning of Christmas: love. Just pure, unconditional and genuine love. The kind of love that God gives us everyday, even when we don’t deserve it.
“Enjoy the holidays, everyone! Don’t worry about your weight and just eat whatever you want! Christmas calories don’t count anyway,” Maxene wrote.
