A good friend of mine is embracing her inner “elf” this holiday season. It does make me smile 🙂
What would your Inner Elf look like?
We think of elves as those pixie like creatures that help out Santa. They work hard and play. They make mistakes and laugh. They are sometimes impulsive yet kind. They find the joy and mischief in everyday things.
Our Inner Elf is innocent, fun and vulnerable.
Why not encourage him or her to come out to play and make this a time to lighten up and embrace your Inner Elf.
….. We also have a Higher Elf.
Our Higher Elf is more like the Elves in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. He or she has a quiet serenity about them, yet are strong and courageous. They are wise, mature, noble, and contemplative. They are attuned to nature and are clear about what truly matters.
Our Higher Elf shines with love and compassion and shows us the way.
Of course, the key to this begins with elf awareness!
p.s. Does anyone know of any good elf help books out there?…. Don’t get me going here 🙂

Nice!

A couple years ago, embracing the “outer elf” was all the rage:

Elf Esteem! I love the concept of inner elf. Mine leans toward mischief I’m sure but maybe of the good kind.
