Have you ever gotten a gift that was so thoughtful and made such a difference in your life that you just couldn’t figure out why you didn’t get one for yourself years ago? What about how great you feel when you give the perfect gift? That feeling of joy that envelops you at the moment of purchase knowing that you have changed someone’s life in a positive way. Or the smile and happiness felt when they open the gift and love it. Search the term “gift giving” and you will see that over 14 million pages show up and many of them full of advice leading to the obvious; we all want to give that perfect gift. What is the best graduation gift? What do you give for a 25th wedding anniversary? What do you give that special someone that you have only known for a couple months?
The challenge of trying to give a gift can be overwhelming especially when we put pressure on ourselves to make the perfect choice. Try this; first, look into your heart for some guidance. Second, really think about the recipient and why you are giving a gift. Try HeartMath’s Quick Coherence® technique to help you focus in on your heart. It only takes a few minutes and you may find that these decisions come easier and with more joy.
A year ago Wendy Craig-Purcell, CEO of the Unity Center in San Diego shared her joy and appreciation for the wonderful gift she received:
