Dealing with all of the stresses of the holiday season can dampen this festive time of year. As you have heard me quote Mark Twain, time and time again, “If you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you always got.”
To create a different experience for yourself and others, try this recipe below. It’s an extremely low cost recipe with a high return on your investment of time.
You can bring it to every gathering you attend for the rest of the year, and I promise it will change the way you see the holidays forever
I am going to use it, and I invite you to as well – yummy…….
Recipe for Self-Compassion
You first use a bowl of human understanding
Then sprinkle 2 measured cups of acceptance
Crack and separate 3 respect egg yolks and mix with Acceptance
Add and grate some self-love
And mix with 2 knobs of acknowledgement of emotion
Pour half a liter of self determination
Mix all ingredients until they gain correct consistency of emotion
Place in a baking dish of compassion
Bake in a human oven
Eat, enjoy, savor
And just remember, if it does not work the first time, the ingredients are free, so try again.
