🎄 Are you repeating Christmas Traditions that DRAIN you 🎄 As parents, we often find ourselves repeating traditions from our own childhood, some heartwarming, others... exhausting. Maybe you’re now the one hosting 15 people for Christmas dinner, just like your parents did. But ask yourself, are these traditions the ones you want, or are you doing them simply because “it’s what we do as a family”? Recreating family traditions can be lovely, but only if they bring you joy. Take a moment to reflect this year: are these traditions filling your cup or draining it? If it doesn't work for you, then let it go and create new traditions that feel meaningful and manageable to you and your children. What traditions are you carrying forward this Christmas, and are they ones you truly love? Let’s talk in the comments! #FamilyTraditions #HolidayReflections #ChristmasYourWay #ParentingByDesign

Christmas Season: Traditions vs. Needs A proverb says: Sometimes we can't see the forest for the trees, and the same can be true for Christmas, our traditions, and our needs. Do you follow traditions simply because they are traditions? Many of us do so unconsciously, often pushing past our own boundaries and overlooking our personal needs. Take some time to check in with each other about what you truly need this year during the week leading up to Christmas and throughout the holidays. Which traditions align with those needs, and which ones don’t? This is an opportunity to create new traditions or try something different this year. You might be surprised at the difference it makes in how you feel. Wishing you a wonderful 3rd Advent! #findjoyinthejourney #interpersonalconflict #cocreation #hearttoheartcommunication #honestcommunication #authenticrelationships #conflicttransformation #leadershipskills #ceomindset #stressless #kommunikasjon #hjertetilhjertekommunikasjon #ærligkommunikasjon #autentiskforhold #konflikt #konflikttransformasjon #ledelse #stresshåndtering #herzzuherzkommunikation #authentischebeziehungen #konfliktpotential

The Importance of Christmas Traditions 🎅🎁 “Traditions are the threads that tie generations together.” 🎁🎅 Christmas is more than gifts and glitter; it’s about the traditions that bring us closer. Here’s why they matter: 🌟 Connection: Repeating rituals, like decorating the tree together, strengthens family bonds. 🌟 Legacy: Sharing cultural or personal traditions passes them on to the next generation. 🌟 Joy: Familiar activities bring comfort and happiness during the holidays. 🎄 Family Things to Do: • Host a Christmas movie marathon with classics like Home Alone or The Grinch. • Start a new tradition—like everyone crafting their own ornament for the tree. 💡 Idea: Create a “12 Days of Gratitude” jar. Write something you’re grateful for each day leading up to Christmas. What are your family’s favorite Christmas traditions? Drop them in the comments! #ChristmasTraditions #FamilyTime #HolidayJoy

Merry Christmas, everyone! Here's a fun thought... I thought a good example of the Insights colour system would be to give Santa an imagined profile! 🎅 🔥 Firstly, Fiery Red: This might be controversial, but I think Santa's strongest energy might be his Fiery Red. Santa’s a natural leader, taking charge of his workshop, setting clear goals, and making sure the mission gets done. No one can argue with a man who delivers millions of gifts in one night! 💛 Sunshine Yellow: Of course, Santa is known to be a figure festive cheer wherever he goes! Santa’s enthusiasm has got to be a strong part of his profile, coming in as the second colour strength. 🎁 Cool Blue: While being third on the list, Santa’s definitely got an eye for the details! From the lists of who’s been naughty or nice to managing the logistics of worldwide toy delivery, he’s a master at organising and planning. 💚 Earth Green: But finally, Santa has of course got that caring, compassionate side. How else does he put so much love and care into all his gifts? So, what do you think? Do you have different interpretations? If you’d like to find out more about your own Insights profile, send me a DM - but maybe after Christmas is over! 😉 #Insights #Teamwork #HR #Christmas

How was your Thanksgiving — filled with laughter, love, and connection, or memorable for all the wrong reasons? Across the country, families gathered around turkey and dressing, sharing stories and giving thanks for their blessings. But not everyone’s Thanksgiving was picture-perfect. Some faced the bittersweet absence of loved ones, family tensions, or obstacles that kept them apart. Even if this year wasn’t all you hoped for, think back to the moments that shaped you — joyful or challenging. Those experiences taught you lessons, shaped your values, and instilled a wisdom that defines who you are today. That hard-earned wisdom and the values you hold dear are the foundation of your legacy. Imagine the impact those stories and lessons could have on your children, grandchildren, and beyond. Preserving them isn’t just about reflection — it’s about making sure the best of you lives on. This holiday season, take a moment to reflect: What stories, lessons, and values are you thankful for? How will you ensure they’re remembered? Your legacy deserves to be treasured.

Grandparents Day is the perfect time to show love and appreciation. Instead of just saying "thank you," make it memorable with these simple and fun ideas. 1. Personalized Gifts and Acts of Kindness A heartfelt gift like a handmade card, scrapbook, or letter can mean so much. Add an extra touch by helping with chores or cooking their favorite meal. 2. Quality Time Together Spend time doing what they love, whether it’s a walk, a family picnic, or a movie marathon. Bond over hobbies like baking or gardening to create lasting memories. 3. Sharing Stories and Wisdom Encourage your grandparents to share their life stories. It’s a great way to connect, learn valuable lessons, and appreciate your family’s history. 4. Stay Connected, Even from Afar If you’re apart, use technology to stay close. A video call, digital photo album, or video montage can make them feel loved, no matter the distance. 5. Keep the Love Going All Year Grandparents Day is one day, but your love should be year-round. Regular calls, letters, and visits show they’re always in your heart. Grandparents play a special role in our lives, so make this day, and every day, extra special for them. #Grandparentsday #seniorliving
