It is no secret that Empoword’s words (and products) are here to help keep you feeling empowered and moving in the direction of your goals and dreams. But did you know our words can be used to make the holiday season easier, lighter and brighter?

Ageless: Read these 10 tips to stay energized.

Awake: Get plenty of rest, ha! But seriously, try.

Balance: Stand on one foot while waiting in line. Builds core strength and gives fellow line waiters something to gawk at.

Bliss: Take at least one bubble bath this month

Brave: Change it up this holiday season. Give up a tired tradition. Start a fresh new one.

Breathe: Remember to do it often, deeply and intentionally.

Calm: Start each morning with your coffee or tea in an Empoword calm mug. Try it. See what happens. (It really works!)

Faith: Have it.

Focus: Make lists, check them twice.

Giggle: Ho, ho, ho. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Laugh often.

Gratitude: Try a mantra. Here are a few to pick from: see the upside, attitude of gratitude, count blessings

Imagine: Imagine the perfect holiday season and then throw that vision out the window. There is no such thing as perfect. Imagine being content with whatever happens.

Love: Keep in mind, this is what the holidays are really all about.

Real: A-U-T-H-E-N-T-I-C-I-T-Y. Ask yourself, what is the real reason we are doing all of this? Make it important and meaningful to Y-O-U.

Smart: Check out Kyle Young’s 12 Ways to Christmas and take her gift giver quiz (good for some giggles too!)
