Pay from your heart, not your wallet. Life coach and writer and motivational speaker Gabrielle Bernstein suggested a holiday gift- There are very few tips, but there are too many. These tips will make you, your friends and family feel loved and cherished. This season, remember that happiness comes from the feeding of the soul, not the books in your pocket. A spiritual girl in the physical world, Gabrielle\'s guide to happy gifts: selflessness: This holiday, don\'t spend money on things you\'re not sure someone will like, donate money or time on their behalf. Choose an organization that aligns with the interests of your friends/family. Then, donate or volunteer to the organization on their behalf. Give them a constant gift. Gratitude is attitude: share your gratitude when writing holiday cards this season. Every time you send a card to your family or friends, be sure to stress why you thank them. Spreading gratitude in you and others will ignite happiness. What people value is handwritten cards, not just the latest photos of your family, and there are no personalized notes. Maybe you are a painter, a baker, or a writer. Chances are you have a hidden talent that you rarely cultivate. This holiday season, you can take out baked goods or paint brushes and give a gift to others. You will enjoy the creative process and the gifts you give away. Service: in the new year, shift your attention from the \"what can I get this year\" attitude to the mantra \"what should I do this year. Identify a charity organization that you can support, help at home, or guide family members in need. In the new year, make a commitment to yourself and serve yourself. Helping others will inspire inspiration and happiness. Practice F-word. Forgiveness: Don\'t bring your past resentment to 2012 from 2011. Practice The F Word and promise to forgive. This will help you not repeat your past resentment in the future. From this year on, let go of negative emotions and start over. Realize who you need to forgive and be willing to put it all down.
