Who Will ALWAYS Have Your Back?
You don’t have to admit defeat. Just because others have failed, does not mean all is lost! Don’t get depressed – get excited. This is your time to rise.
For some people, the holidays are a joyous occasion. But for others, this time of year can be very painful, stressful or just plain tiring. It’s likely you’re planning to spend this week or upcoming weekend with your family.
Let’s be honest… you might be related by blood, but that doesn’t mean you have anything in common! Often, hurt from past actions, personality conflicts or the inevitable bickering, can plague even the most joyous reunions.
You might encounter a slew of characters such as: “The One-Upper”… “The Gossip”… “The Reminder of Failures Past”… “The Joker” (at your expense)… ”The Arguer”… “The Sulker” and “The Non-Helpers” who sit around while you do all the work – and probably tell you how you’re “doing it wrong!”
Some of these people are might be family members you love! But that doesn’t mean they won’t add unneeded stress to your holidays.
This morning, before all the craziness starts, take a moment to review these strategies for dealing with the awesome people you love to be around, the family kooks… and everyone in between.
When your heart is full of gratitude, it opens up your “vault” for a bounty of blessings. You can choose to be the over-stressed family member who is annoyed or offended by everything! Or you can choose to be the agent of peace, focused on blessing your loved ones and spending time together.
If holiday stress, grocery bills, family time or anything else is pushing you to your limits – STOP! Take the time now to plan ahead and develop your holiday survival guide.
