This week starts the transition between Christmas and the New Year.
\nIt’s a time to slow down and take stock of where you’ve been and where you’re going.
\nIn your relationships with yourself and with the people closest to you.
\nComplete & Celebrate 2021.<\/p>\n

It’s the perfect time of year for\u00a0reflection, completion and renewal.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The end of 2021 is the opportunity to pause and digest, to leave what is no longer needed behind in the past, and to take what you’ve learned and what you’ve gained with you into the new year ahead.
\nComplete & Celebrate 2021.<\/p>\n

I’m going to describe a simple 4 step “recipe”\u00a0you can use to\u00a0complete 2021 and be open for the new year ahead.<\/h4>\n

You may have used a similar process to evaluate your performance at work, or to set goals for yourself, but today I want to focus your attention on – your marriage, of course.<\/p>\n

Complete & Celebrate 2021.
\nI suggest keeping this as simple as possible. Don’t overcomplicate it.
\nAll you need is a journal or some lined paper, a pen, a quiet location and an hour of your time.<\/p>\n

Let’s begin.
\nComplete & Celebrate 2021.<\/p>\n

Take a few deep breaths.
\nMaybe light a candle.
\nPlay some soothing music.<\/p>\n

Do whatever you need to do to calm your nervous system and bring pleasure into your ritual.<\/p>\n

1. Start with gratitude.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

What are you grateful for in your marriage?
\nJust let the thoughts stream from your mind through your pen and onto the paper.
\nGive yourself the time and space to get into a flow and fill the page.<\/p>\n

2. Add a dollop of acknowledgement.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This is the time to tell the truth.
\nThe good, the bad and the ugly.<\/p>\n

What are you proud of?
\nHow has your marriage grown this year?
\nWhat have you learned in the past 12 months?<\/p>\n

Write it all down.<\/p>\n

What are the aspects of your marriage that you avoid or ignore?
\nWhat are your unmet desires?
\nWho have you been in your marriage?<\/p>\n

3. Fold in\u00a0completion with care.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Keep writing.
\nDump it all out.
\nThe couldas,\u00a0\u00a0wouldas and shouldas.<\/p>\n

Get it all out.
\nRelease all that is done and all that is undone.
\nGrease it well with care and compassion.<\/p>\n

Allow and accept what is.
\nWhere you did succeed and where you didn’t.
\nIt’s all OK.
\nWe’re leaving it all in 2021.<\/p>\n

4. Top it off with a generous sprinkle of celebration.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Declare 2021 done and complete.
\nPop the cork and give a toast to celebrate your marriage.
\nWhere you’ve been, what you’ve experienced,\u00a0how you’ve grown.
\nComplete & Celebrate 2021.<\/p>\n

Celebrate your accomplishments and learn from your mistakes.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Complete & Celebrate 2021.
\nThat\u2019s how your marriage\u00a0will continue to get better and better.
\nAnd even better.<\/p>\n

It’s the reflection and the writing and the letting go.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Celebrate and learn.
\nRepeat.<\/p>\n

Complete & Celebrate 2021.
\nYour marriage.<\/p>\n

Complete & Celebrate 2021<\/strong>.<\/h4>\n

Most important.\u00a0Take care of you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here are 5 easy suggestions:
\n1. Get enough sleep. Establish a bedtime routine and follow it.
\n2. Get outside in nature every day. Rain or shine.
\n3. Appreciate what is wonderful in the world. Write 3-5 things you are grateful for each day.
\n4. Reach out to a sister. Call her once a week – or every day. Ask how she is and what she is feeling. Give her the space to release her feelings without any judgment or fixing.
\n5. Treat yourself to pleasure. Dance. Take a nap. Sing out loud. Read a novel. Soak in the tub. Do anything you want – just for the\u00a0pleasure of it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With all my love.
\nFrom my heart to yours.
