The holidays can be lonely for a lot of people. There, I said it. Now we can stop pretending that everybody MUST have the same holiday experience. That's a holiday lie. A holiday truth is that you can have the holiday you want, IF you're willing to show love . What do I mean? Let me tell you a story. This is the Fable of the Christmas Songbird or how showing love can transform you.\n\nWHY ARE THE HOLIDAYS LONELY FOR SOME?\n\nSome people are lonely because they're single.\n\nSome people are lonely because they wish they were single.\n\nSome people are lonely because they feel they don't have anywhere to go.\n\nSome people are lonely because they need some time at home, to think and plan for a better new year.\n\nAnd some people are lonely because they have fallen for the hype of the fake lives being lived on Instagram and Facebook.\n\nNo matter the reason, the root of loneliness is a focus on self. Thinking back on Soraya the Songbird, please know that I am not minimizing anybody's experience. However, I believe that you can stop being lonely and have the love and the holiday you want, if you are willing to give love where it\u2019s needed.\n\nWHAT THE SONGBIRD TEACHES US:\n\nFocus on the impact of your love, not on the target.\n\nExpand your definition of family\n\nFocus on what opportunities you have, not those you don't\n\nDelight in the changes/impact sharing your love has on YOU\n\nShow notes are available at allegrasinclair.com/035
