January is Celebration of Life Month. For our Friday Favorites, The Morning Thing hosts share their favorite ways to celebrate life
Which month tends to be the most hectic for you? Our schedules often become cluttered with enjoyable activities, responsibilities, and tasks we prefer to avoid. However, we should also consider whether we’re making time for what truly matters. It’s essential to consciously set aside time for family priorities; otherwise, it can easily disappear.
Here are a few things you should do by the end of 2025.
Take a family holiday: A family holiday is a meaningful occasion set aside to celebrate the importance of family. Select a date that doesn’t overlap with any birthdays and add it to your family’s calendar. Research shows that a strong connection between parents and children can help decrease risky behaviors in teenagers, and a strong family identity plays a vital role in fostering a child’s self-esteem.
Date nights: Regardless of whether you plan for a date night once a month or once a week, if you don’t schedule them in your calendar, they are likely to be overlooked when life becomes hectic. Take some time this weekend to open your calendars and choose your date nights! Make a note of who will be in charge of planning each one.
Nothing: When is nothing not truly nothing? According to author Abby Watts of iMOM, when it contributes to balance. This is precisely what having white space in your calendar achieves. We aren’t designed to constantly push forward; taking a step back enables our bodies and minds to relax and rejuvenate.
