During the holidays it's so easy to feel like you just aren't succeeding. The holidays bring many expectations, stress and often disappointment. If you are apprehensive about the upcoming holidays consider reading this article titled Start enjoying Christmas again. We can all benefit from really getting back to the simple things that truly make us happy. That is what the season is really about! It's not the season of obligation now is it?
If you are dreading visiting with family this holiday season you may want to consider that "within one’s Self, in relationship, or in society, there is a great interdependency. The pain cannot be without the joy and compassion." Matthew Spears wrote an article about the powers and purpose of both the pain and the joy, his article is called Interconnectedness of being and it offers great insights that can turn your holiday dread into thankfulness.
Are you struggling with mean or abusive family members that you will need to see this holiday season? Looking for a way to spend time with them without loosing your mind? Find out how to Enjoy the holidays- family members and all with simple self assertion techniques.
The holidays are often times very depressing or saddening for many. Jeremy Neal published an article called Free Yourself to Give Today, where he explains that "Whenever you are feeling down or saddened, it helps to give to others what you feel that you are lacking in your life." This is the season of "giving" true gifts of the heart not expensive things you buy in a store. So, if you are feeling down give something to someone that you desire, love, friendship or a helping hand. Be thoughtful and loving, you will be amazed at how great it feels!
Tis the season for making new years resolutions! Goals and dreams are great but we often lack the perseverance and determination to follow through with these dreams or goals. The urge to quit is strongest right before you succeed. If you are feeling like giving up you could benefit from reading the article 212 degree attitude by Hueina Su where she talks about how important it is to believe in yourself and press on when trying to achieve something.
