Tis the season for shiny cocoa and Christmas tree cards and social media full of picture-perfect memories! It’s all too easy to sit back and think nearly everyone has it “together” but you.
Please do me a personal favor and press “pause” on that thought process right now. Take a long deep breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Soften your neck and shoulders. Place a hand or two someplace on your body that feels kind & calming.
Know that you are only seeing a sliver of what’s happening in the lives around you. Rather than comparing the truth of your insides to everyone else’s shiny highlights, trust that you are right where you belong, struggles, imperfections and all. There’s no race. There’s no prize for getting the decorating done or the cards or beautifully wrapped gifts, or any of it really.
What is most important & meaningful to you this season? Place your focus there and put the blinders on. No more looking around, no mo/re comparing yourself to your neighbor. God placed you right where you belong.
