The holidays are coming and you don’t know how to feel. Should you be happy or dread?
There’s this dissonance inside you. We love these people, but being around them is exhausting.
It feels like walking on eggshells. It makes us angry too, because we can l’t really be ourselves, we have to “fake it” to keep the peace. We feel angry because we know someone is going to do or say something that triggers us.
What if it didn’t have to be this way?
What if you could go to the Christmas gatherings and actually ENJOY EVERYONE?
Hear you mom complain… and just love her for who she is.
See your in laws parent their kids, and just appreciate the parents they are being to you nieces and nephews.
See your dad struggling, because he’s always given so much of himself that now at his age he’s barely there…
And just be happy and grateful that he has given you an amazing example to follow.
The holidays (or any family gathering) CAN be enjoyable!
We just have to learn the skill of acceptance. Accepting that adults get to do whatever the heck they want, that we are all going through something, that we are all doing the BEST we can with what we were given.
Let's make these holiday season the best year ever!
