During the 12th month of the year there are many cultural and religious holidays that are celebrated such as: Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa and Boxing Day to name a few. While approaching these holidays we often think to ourselves….its not the most wonderful time of the year, it’s the most busiest and stressful time of the year! Can anyone relate? There is saying “What you think about is what you bring about” so if you approach the holidays with mindset, that is exactly what will manifest. Flip the script and make a commitment to go from stressful to stress-free during the holidays. During the month of December, I will share 7 tips to help you achieve that. Listed below is #6:
Share Your Feelings
Spending a holiday after a loss in the family can be difficult. Accept your feelings and open up about them to others. It may make you feel better to share. Try to switch up old traditions to ease the loss. Perhaps you had an aunt who liked to play Monopoly, tell the family you want to play another game like Scrabble or Yahtzee.
Wanda,
You’re bringing back some great memories. I recalled a very tender memory My uncle Titus would come over for Christmas and play board games with us. He is still alive and is one of my favorite uncles.
