10 Uplifting Ways to Embrace the Christmas Spirit

The Christmas Spirit is a feeling of joy, generosity, kindness, and goodwill toward others often evoked by holiday traditions like decorating, gift-giving, music and spending time with loved ones. It’s also associated with fostering a festive, charitable, and warm atmosphere, often seen in acts of service and connecting with family, friends and even strangers during the winter season. (wikiHow)

Depending on how your year has been, you may have come into contact with individuals who complain of not experiencing that Christmas feeling. It is that spirit associated with past customs. Many force themselves into that feeling or pretend to get into the Christmas spirit. Some don’t bother and succumb to being depressed after suffering the loss of a loved one, familiar surroundings, or even a job.

Here are some uplifting, practical, and non-financial ways to help you or a colleague, get into the Christmas spirit. The season may feel heavy, disappointing, or overwhelming. So let’s see what we can do to overcome that feeling.

Ways to Get into the Christmas Spirit (Even When Life Feels Heavy)

1. Create a Simple “Good Moments” Ritual

Even during a difficult season, one meaningful moment a day can shift your emotions. These cost nothing yet helps your mind anchor in peace.

  • Light a candle at sunset
  • Make a cup of peppermint tea
  • Play one Christmas song you love
  • Sit quietly for 3 minutes and breathe
2. Revisit a Favorite Memory

Nostalgia is scientifically calming. Take 5 minutes to try these simple tips which will reconnect you to joy without requiring money or big plans.

  • Write down your favorite Christmas memory
  • Look at an old holiday photo
  • Re-watch a childhood Christmas movie clip
  • Make a dish that reminds you of home
3. Serve or Encourage Someone

When life feels disappointing, purpose restores hope. Here are some non-financial ways to give back. Remember, helping someone else elevates your own spirit.

  • Call someone you haven’t spoken to in a while
  • Write a handwritten encouragement note
  • Volunteer for 1 hour at a community event
  • Help a neighbor carry groceries or decorate
  • Read a Christmas story to a child or senior
4. Declutter One Small Space

A clearer environment creates emotional room for joy. Try any of these which will give you a sense of renewal going into the new year.

  • Cleaning one drawer
  • Tidying your desk
  • Freshening your bedroom with a sheet change
  • Hanging a single string of lights or placing one ornament in a meaningful spot
5. Start a Personal Christmas Gratitude List

Write down 12 things you are grateful for this year, even if they are small. Focus areas could be:

  • Growth
  • Lessons Learned
  • People who supported you
  • Unexpected blessings
6. Create a New Tradition (Simple or Free)

Traditions don’t need to be expensive. New traditions can help you reclaim the season in a way that fits your life now. For example, my own tradition started with hosting Christmas morning breakfast with family and close friends. That way, family members were available for evening dinner with the in-laws. We exchange gifts and more. As the kids grew, budget became an issue (hint – teenagers). We then adopted a young adult gift exchange as is done in corporate jobs.

  • Eat by candlelight for the month of December
  • Go for a night walk or drive to look at neighborhood lights
  • Read one uplifting quote or scripture each morning
  • Bake something simple like Christmas cake or banana bread
  • Host a zoom or phone call “Christmas check-in” with a friend group
7. Limit the Noise and Protect Your Peace

Sometimes, the best way into the Christmas spirit is finding quiet. Give yourself permission to slow down without guilt.

  • Turn off the news for a day
  • Unfollow accounts that drain your emotions
  • Say “no” to events that overwhelm you
8. Play Christmas Music or Ambient Sounds

Music is emotionally powerful. Let sound create the atmosphere.

  • Free playlists on YouTube
  • Gospel Christmas songs
  • Instrumental Christmas Jazz
  • Nativity meditation music
  • Fireplace or snowy cabin ambience videos
9. Journal Your Feelings But End With Hope

Disappointment is real. Letting it out helps you move forward. Take a look at these prompts, then end with one hopeful expectation for 2026.

  • What has been hard for you this season?
  • What do you need emotionally right now?
  • Where have you seen God’s hand even in small ways?
  • What’s one hopeful expectation for 2026?
10. Connect Spiritually

The holidays are the perfect time to reconnect with faith. Spiritual grounding brings meaning beyond the festivities.

  • Read a daily advent devotional
  • Join a free online Christmas service
  • Mediate on peace, hope, joy and renewal
  • Take a quiet prayer walk

These 10 tips were non-financial ways. With the commercialization of the season, Christmas can attract expenses. Here are a few that comes with financial input.

  • Buy one symbolic ornament that represents growth
  • Support a small business with a small purchase
  • Treat yourself to a cozy candle
  • Gift a coaching session or buy a session for someone in transition
  • Attend a low-cost community concert or holiday market

Essentially, getting into the Christmas spirit is not about perfection, money, or big celebrations. It’s about small, intentional choices that bring warmth, connection and hope back into your day.

Here’s hoping these tips will help boost your spirit this holiday. Now it’s your turn. Are there annual customs that you would like to add? Is any missing that you plan to implement as a new tradition? Please share. We would love to hear!

Cheers and Happy Holidays!

3 Tips To Manage Leadership Overthink

Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in. ~Napoleon Bonaparte

Ever found yourself checking and rechecking about a decision you have to make. It might be a presentation, a college selection, submission of a business proposal or even a marriage proposition (yikes)! It happens. It’s called overthinking which is defined as:

Putting too much time into thinking about or analyzing (something)

Overthinking is one of the biggest blocks for both leaders and business owners because it drains time, energy, and confidence. Here are 3 tips to stop overthinking.

1. Decide. Then Detach

Perfection isn’t progress. Once you’ve made a well-informed decision, commit then detach from the fear of “what if.” Every decision gives feedback: it either moves you forward or teaches you what to adjust. Leaders who wait for certainty often miss their moment.

Try this: Set a “decision deadline” give yourself 24 hours to choose, then move on confidently.

2. Shift From Thinking to Doing

Action is the antidote to overthinking. When you’re stuck in analysis, your mind loops on the same thoughts. But when you take even a small step, such as sending the email; posting the content, calling the client; actions like these contributes to you gathering real data, not imagined fears.

Ask yourself: What’s one small action I can take right now?

3. Practice Mental Stillness

Overthinking thrives in noise. Silence and stillness help you separate truth from fear. Try journaling, prayer, or a five-minute “mind reset” before diving into decisions. It’s not laziness, it’s leadership discipline.

Remember: Still minds make strong moves.

COACHING INSIGHT

Overthinking often signals self-doubt, not lack of skill. Leadership coaching helps identify those inner beliefs and build confidence. It then replaces the cycle of worry with a rhythm of wise action.

How about you? Are you an overthinker? Which of the 3 tips can you implement now? On the other hand, were you an overthinker? If so, how did you get over it? Do share. We would love to hear.

Cheers!

Which Type of Entrepreneur Are You And What’s Your Biggest Challenge?

Life’s too short to learn from your own mistakes. Learn from others.

Every entrepreneur faces moments of doubt, exhaustion, and uncertainty. First-time founders, side hustlers, and small business owners constantly navigate the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Whether they are launching their first startup, grinding through a side hustle, or scaling past a plateau; mindset shifts and motivation is needed to keep pushing forward.

Here are the top 5 Challenges Entrepreneurs face. As you review these characteristics, which can you identify with the most?

1.The First-Time Founder (0-2 years in business)

Characteristic: Everything is new, scary, and overwhelming. They’re discovering that entrepreneurship is 10 times harder than they imagined. Every setback feels like potential failure.

What they’re dealing with:

  • Imposter syndrome at peak levels
  • No roadmap or proven process to follow
  • Financial stress and uncertainty
  • Isolation (left their corporate network behind)
  • Constant self-doubt about their decisions

How to Stay Motivated: “You’re not alone in feeling this way.” Know that “It gets easier as you learn”

2.The Side Hustler (Building while Employed)

Characteristic: They’re living a double life. They are exhausted, stretched thin, and constantly questioning if they should quit their job or give up the dream.

What they’re dealing with:

  • Working 60-80 hour weeks between job + business
  • Guilt about time away from family
  • Progress feels painfully slow
  • Watching others succeed faster
  • Energy depletion and burnout risk

How to Stay Motivated: “Your pace is valid” + “Every hour invested compounds”

3.The Struggling Scaler (Stuck at a revenue plateau)

Characteristic: They’ve proven the concept works, but can’t break through to the next level. The excitement has worn off, replaced by grinding frustration.

What they’re dealing with:

  • Revenue flatlined for 6-12+ months
  • Doing everything themselves (can’t afford to hire)
  • Comparing themselves to “overnight successes”
  • Questioning their business model
  • Burnout from working IN the business vs ON it

How to Stay Motivated: “Plateaus are part of growth” + “Breakthrough is closer than you think”

4.The Solopreneur (No co-founder, no team)

Characteristic: They make every decision alone, celebrate wins alone, and face failures alone. The loneliness is crushing.

What they’re dealing with:

  • Decision fatigue (no one to bounce ideas off)
  • Wearing every hat (CEO, marketer, accountant, customer service)
  • No one to catch them if they fall
  • Feeling like giving up but having no one to hold them accountable
  • Craving validation that they’re on the right track

How to stay Motivated: “Your independence is strength” + “Solitude doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong”

5.The Comeback Entrepreneur (Failed before, trying again)

Characteristic: They’re carrying baggage from past failures. Every challenge triggers memories of “what happened last time.” They need courage to keep going despite the scars.

What they’re dealing with:

  • Fear of repeating past mistakes
  • Judgment from people who saw them fail
  • Financial pressure (often starting with less capital)
  • Self-trust issues (“Can I actually do this?”)
  • Imposter syndrome amplified by previous failure

How to Stay Motivated: “Failure was data, not destiny” + “Most successful entrepreneurs failed first”

Honorable Mentions:

  • The Mid-Life Career Changer: Left stability for uncertainty, facing age discrimination and “what have I done?” panic
  • The Minority/Underrepresented Entrepreneur: Fighting systemic barriers while building, needing validation in spaces that don’t always welcome them
  • The Post-Pivot Founder: Had to abandon their original idea and start over, grieving the old vision while building the new one

Which did you identify with most? Deeply reflect and if you need help, let’s connect.

Otherwise, gift a copy of 101+ Empowering Quotes to the entrepreneur in your life. It’s available in eBook, paperback, and hardcover formats, all under $20. It’s the thoughtful gift that fits in a stocking and inspires all year long.

What makes this gift special? It’s genuinely useful. Unlike generic presents that collect dust, this book becomes a go-to resource on tough days. The portable size fits perfectly in stockings, bags, and on desks. And at under $20, you can afford to gift it to your entire network of entrepreneurs, coworkers, or team members.

Give the gift of daily inspiration. Give them the reminder that they’re not alone in this journey.

Starting Over At 50. Finding Purpose Again

Midlife transitioners face feelings of sadness especially when work, independence and purpose feel out of reach. This is a common scenario I have found in my coaching practice amongst mature women. They complain, sulk and feel ‘why bother’ (as in the case of a recent discussion). For women experiencing these feelings, here are 7 thoughtful strategies of how 50+-year-old women in this situation can begin moving forward. Adopting these strategies can help them regain control of their life, emotionally, practically, and spiritually.

1.Start With Emotional Healing

Before any external progress, healing the inner voice is key.

  • Acknowledge your feelings; grief, frustration, even shame, as valid. You’re not alone; many older adults feel invisible or “left behind” as the four stages of elimination in life profess.
  • Seek emotional support: a counselor, therapist, or support group for midlife depression can help rebuild self-worth.
  • Practice daily motivation and affirmations: “My life still has purpose.” “I am capable of starting again.” Small mindset shifts add up.
  • Faith & reflection: If you’re spiritually inclined, journaling prayers or reading devotionals about renewal (e.g., Isaiah 43:19… “Behold, I am doing a new thing…”) can anchor your hope.

2.Rebuild Self-Worth and Confidence

Depression often comes from feeling “useless,” so rediscovering value is important.

  • Revisit strengths and experiences. Make a list of past achievements, career skills, and life lessons.
  • Volunteer or mentor. Helping others (e.g., tutoring, mentoring younger professionals, or supporting community causes) reminds her that her wisdom matters.
  • Refresh her image. A new hairstyle, headshot, or wardrobe doesn’t just change how others see her — it helps her feel renewed.

3.Redefine Purpose and Direction

You may be entering a new season, not the end of your working life. Shift from “job-seeking” to “value-offering.” Instead of asking “who will hire me?” you should ask, “where can my experience help someone solve a problem?”

Consider flexible or freelance work:

  • Virtual assistant or remote admin work
  • Customer service, tutoring, or caregiving
  • Consulting in your former field
  • Selling crafts, baked goods, or eBooks online
  • Take free online courses (Coursera, Google Digital Skills, LinkedIn Learning) to update your skillset and confidence.

4.Improve Her Job Search Strategy

Age can be an advantage when presented with confidence and skill.

  • Update your resume and LinkedIn profile. Focus on experience, reliability, and mentoring skills rather than long timelines.
  • Network quietly and personally. Reach out to old colleagues or community connections; many opportunities come through relationships, not job boards.
  • Target age-friendly employers (AARP’s “Employer Pledge Program” lists companies committed to older workers).

5.Stabilize Finances and Environment

Small changes can ease immediate stress.

  • Seek community or senior resources: local housing or utility assistance programs, food banks, or financial coaching through nonprofits.
  • Budget for empowerment, not punishment. Even small control (like managing one bill or goal) restores agency.
  • Explore part-time or gig work (e.g., Instacart, pet-sitting, or online micro-tasks) as temporary bridges.

6. Build a New Daily Routine

Structure gives life purpose.

  • Morning: prayer, gratitude, short walk
  • Midday: job search, learning, or volunteer time
  • Evening: journal one positive action from the day
    Even a simple daily rhythm can counter the “stuck” feeling.

7. Believe in Renewal


It’s never too late to rebuild. Many people in their 50’s and beyond start new careers, businesses, and callings. Your story isn’t over…it’s shifting.
Be encouraged. See yourself not as “unemployed,” but as “relaunching.”

Reflection:

“If I could start fresh today, what small step would make me feel proud by the end of this week?”

Hope these strategies help you overcome these feelings of apathy. If you’re not in that sphere and know someone who might be, please share with them. We are also here to help women regain confidence for their new chapter.

Cheers!

How Can A Business Owner Overcome Fear of Marketing? 4 Steps-To-Success

Overcome Marketing Fear

At a networking event, a bold Networker spoke about her reluctance to use social media. She was hesitant about using it. She asked herself “why not enroll into a social media class?

How can a business owner overcome this fear? This is a powerful and timely question especially as we get close to the peak of the biggest holiday season. Most business owners are confident in their work but hesitant about visibility.

4 Ways to Overcome the Fear of Marketing as a Business Owner

Many business owners love what they do but freeze when it’s time to promote their work. They fear sounding “salesy,” being judged, or stepping into the spotlight. Yet, marketing isn’t about ego, it’s about service and connection. Here are some tips to negate that fear.

  1. Reframe “marketing” as “helping.”

Marketing is simply communicating the value of what you offer to people who need it. When you shift from “selling” to “serving,” fear loses its grip.
Ask yourself: Who needs this solution? How can I make it easier for them to find me?

  1. Start with authenticity, not perfection.

You don’t need perfect videos, fancy funnels, or flawless captions. You just need a clear message and consistency. Share your why, your story, and the transformation you help others achieve. Authenticity builds trust faster than polished perfection.

  1. Use your strengths.

If writing comes naturally, blog or post.
If you’re a people person, go live or network.
If you’re visual, create short reels or carousel posts.
Play to your natural communication style instead of forcing what feels unnatural.

  1. Build confidence through small wins.

Set simple, repeatable goals, one post a week, one short video, one client testimonial shared. Every time you take action, your comfort zone expands.

  1. Get coached through the fear.

A leadership or business coach can help you uncover the root cause of your fear. Whether it’s fear of rejection, comparison, or visibility and replace it with confidence and clarity.

Coaching helps you align your mindset, message, and methods so you can show up as a confident leader of your brand.


Coaching helps you align your mindset, message, and methods so you can show up as a confident leader of your brand.

Remember:
As with the business owner we spoke about, she learnedd that she did not have to love marketing, she just needed to see it as part of her leadership. She did and was happy to shout the benefits.

Remember, your voice, your story, and your offer could be the answer someone is praying for. Don’t let fear keep you silent.

Have you been hesitant to step out and share your work? Do share. We would love to hear.

The Power of Paying It Forward in Leadership

Pay it Forward

If you can’t pay it back, pay it forward. ~Catherine Ryan Hyde

Standing in line at the cashier, I decided to pay with the cash I had on hand. The amount came to the exact dollar amount in my wallet, except it needed thirteen cents more. I rummaged through my handbag to cover the difference. The woman behind me said, “Hey, I’ll get it for you.”

Instead of accepting her offer, I searched frantically for the coins, only to remember that I keep my change in the car. She repeated gently, “I’ll get it.” I insisted that I would pay her back when we got outside. She simply replied, “Pay it forward.” Immediately, I understood and promised I would.

I left the store, found the coins in my car, and was about to give her a quarter as she exited. Then I was reminded of her words about paying it forward. I took a deep breath, sighed, and drove away.

How many times has this happened to me? I genuinely like to give but am always hesitant to receive. As I coach my clients, I recognize it’s important to do both—give generously and also be willing to accept graciously in return. One friend once countered my reluctance by saying, “Don’t stop my blessings.”

Leaders Struggle

This simple exchange reveals a profound leadership lesson about the grace of receiving. Many leaders struggle with accepting help, viewing it as weakness or loss of control. However, graceful receiving is actually a powerful leadership skill that creates deeper connections and empowers others.

When we refuse help, we inadvertently rob others of the joy of giving and contributing. We also model unhealthy self-reliance that can isolate us from our teams and communities. The most effective leaders understand that accepting assistance with gratitude creates a culture of mutual support and reciprocity.

Consider this: Every time someone offers to help you—whether it’s covering thirteen cents, sharing an idea, or taking on a task—they’re extending trust and care. Your gracious acceptance validates their value and strengthens the relationship.

Challenge yourself this week to practice receiving with the same intentionality you bring to giving. Say “thank you” instead of “you didn’t have to.” Accept compliments without deflecting. Allow others to contribute to your success. Remember, true leadership isn’t about having all the answers or resources—it’s about creating an environment where everyone can contribute their gifts, including to you.

Pay it forward, yes. But first, allow yourself to receive what’s being offered.

Maximize Holiday Book Sales: A Month by Month Guide

Effective preparation sets the stage for success and sparks creativity

Authors write, publish and leave expecting miracles. It doesn’t happen. Authorship happens mostly by accident as writers choose to share what’s on their hearts. It might be a memoir, poetry, fiction or non-fiction. As their passion unfold, they write then later realize that they have suddenly been thrust into entrepreneurship! How do they get those books off bookstore shelves? Selected on amazon? Shared among family and friends? It behooves them to sit, pray, and wonder why their books just remains stagnant. Most often these are excellent stories that remains dormant for years, not gleaned by readers.

Realizing this pattern, the Writers Group of South Florida held a workshop. Hosted by the West Regional Library in Plantation. This initiative was facilitated by Dr. Shelly Cameron. Here’s a summary of the takeaway points that attendees authors gleaned.

AUGUST – SEPTEMBER: Build the Foundation & Warm Up Your Audience

  • Secure podcast, blog, and media features for October–December.
  • Plan holiday content calendar (mix of promos, tips, behind-the-scenes, giveaways).
  • Launch pre-order bonuses or limited-time bundles.

October: Visible Campaign & Early Gift Push

  • Submit to gift guides, bloggers, and niche media lists.
  • Collaborate with other authors for holiday bundles or giveaways.
  • Feature reader testimonials and reviews on social media.
  • Run Early Bird discounts to attract early shoppers.

November: Holiday Sales Mode

  • Run a gratitude-themed campaign for Thanksgiving.
  • Offer Black Friday/Cyber Monday E-Book discounts or signed copy specials.
  • Partner with local stores for Small Business Saturday promotions.
  • Send an email countdown series leading up to Thanksgiving.

December: Final Holiday Push

  • Promote e-Books and gift certificates for last-minute shoppers.
  • Run a “12-Days-of-Christmas” themed social media series.
  • Position your book for New Year’s resolutions or inspiration.
  • Post thank-you messages and celebrate your readers

PRO TIPS for Conversions

  • Author Branding Matters: Use consistent holiday visuals across all platforms.
  • Offer Multiple Formats: Paperback, e-Book, Audio-book—make it easy to gift.
  • Make It Shareable: Create “I’m gifting this book!” social media graphics for readers to post.
  • Always Include a Call-to-Action: Don’t just post pretty images—always link to buy.
  • Track & Adjust: Watch which promos get clicks and double down on what works.

There you have it. Did one, two or a few of the above stand out for you? As a published author, which will you adopt? Do share, we would love to hear.

Happy Promoting!
