Gifts To the Family
We all yearn to feel cared for, yet many of us withhold caring and compassion for others. A profound gift we can give to our loved ones is to listen with our heart, to understand and accept rather than to judge, and to stay open to learning rather than to protect against being hurt.
Sometimes we think that gifts can be used to replace our time for our loved ones but often times, this theory is wrong. Children prefer spending time with their parents more than those expensive gifts. Your spouse prefer to sit by the couch for a good movie with you than your luxurious gifting too. Nothing can replaced love and care for those who are close to us. Staying at home may not be the best fat burner option but sometimes doing things with the family can help to shed those extra calories!
Think about the last time someone actually listened to you and gave you understanding and acceptance. The feeling of being understood and accepted with caring and compassion is one of the best feelings in the world. Instead of focusing on getting this from others, why not focus on giving it to others? You might be surprised at how wonderful you feel in giving this gift to your family.
