Another December, stress, self-imposed deadlines and expectations are everywhere. What a great time to be reminded of the Gift of Change. You are the one with the power to make a change in what you believe and in what choices you are making every moment, every day as you sail through the holidays and bring this calendar year to a close.

We are creatures of habit because we are creatures of comfort. You may have a limiting belief that change is uncomfortable. You may want to investigate the possibility that making a change may bring you more comfort than you expected. Suddenly the words, “because I have always done it that way”, sound hollow and empty. Instead, the thought, “I may actually be more comfortable if I choose to do this”, may be the one thought that you need to bridge the distance between choosing old habits and behaviors over new ones.

This holiday season, I wish for you the Intentional Choice to explore the gift of change. The process of change always starts with awareness and with your willingness to say – “I need to look at this choice I am making. Is there something I would rather choose instead?” You are always in a position to make a choice.

Wishing you a happy holiday filled with all the possibilities you can imagine.
