I know Shabbos Chanukah can come with a whole bunch of stress, family stuff and trying to make a good impression and over stimulation….so let me tell you a simple trick that will make a huge difference. DECISION: Decide right now what you want and how you want it to turn out INTENTION: Set an intention, say I intend to….cuz. For me it’s “I intend to deeply enjoy this weekend, I intend to take breaks and get some quiet whenever I want or need, and to pay attention to my limits and respect my needs, I intend to enjoy the people I get to be with and I intend to be grateful for all the love no matter what form it comes in 😅 I intend to feel into the Bracha and kedusha surrounding me and to let go of anything that doesn’t fill me up with happiness and I INTEND TO LAUGH AND HAVE FUN!” DECLARATION: Say it out loud, with passion and strength and when you finish say THIS IS MY CHOICE AND THAT IS MY DECLARATION!!! I hope you all have a beautiful wonderful Shabbos Chanukah (and erev and motzai and Sunday and always 🤩😂) COMMENT BELOW AND SAY DDD if you did this and love it!! (And put a ✔️ if you also know what ddd stands for, HASHTAGSMARTYPANTS)

ENJOY! CHOOSE TO ENJOY!!! no matter what kind of chaos is going on around here no matter how crazy the kids might be or whatever is going on, CHOOSE TO ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL BRACHOS WITHIN ALL OF IT!

Don’t let it pass you by, stop and feel into the warmth and joy of Yiddishkeit, and your family (WITH all its quirks and stresses), and the beauty of it all! Feel the light and kedusha, tune in and choose to enjoy the love and feel the warmth! Comment 🍩 below if you love this reminder.

Stop for a moment, feel your body, take a deep breath and say out loud I AM BLESSED AND LUCKY AND GRATEFUL, then notice nature, even if it’s just the sky and breathe in the love that surrounds you. Comment ❄️ or any emoji if you can’t find this one, if you did this and appreciate the tip.
