Gifting. Reimagined!
Conscious Gifting
Given the state of the world, now is a great time to change our perspective on traditional holiday consumerism. With most corporate and social celebrations canceled this year, we have time to slow down and create more consciousness around our gift-giving.
What Does Conscious Gifting Look Like?
Close your eyes, take several deep breaths, and create an inner smile. Remember that giving gifts can be a tremendous joy when we tap into our intuition for flow and guidance. This also helps us clear out any societal programming about how much money we should spend, on what makes an appropriate gift, comparison with others, etc.
Before Buying…
Set the intention for your shopping to be peaceful
Prioritize personal and creativity over trying to impress
Create some meaning or a message of love and appreciation
Consider the environmental impact of your purchases
Decide what types of businesses you want to support
Aim for amusement as you proceed through this process
2020 is the Year to Go Rogue!
This unusual year gives us a convenient excuse to make radical changes to our traditional thinking of what the holidays are, mean, and “should” look like.
Eschew societal programming that says we show the depth of our love through the price of our presents. Nope, not buying into that messaging!
Heal your desire to protect your children from peer competition. They do not need, nor do you want to create for them The Most Amazing Holiday Ever Recorded in the History of Holidays just so they don’t feel bad when they hear about their friend’s bonanza.
This just sets everyone up for the same stress/expectation year after year, and perpetually into future generations. It also creates unnecessary pain for families struggling to keep up with your kid’s windfall.
Create Confidence in your Choices
If you feel good about what you want to create for your family, they will pick up your positive energy and learn to think independently in the process. Even if you’re feeling hesitant or worried about disappointing anyone, be determined to project confidence and joy in your decision.

This experience was literally one of the most stressful of my life! And that is saying a LOT given I’d already overcome years of infertility trying to get these amazing kids, survived cancer while completing grad school, and moved internationally three times in two years.
