It’s the most wonderful time of the year… festivities, family, and friends. Translation: we will be with people more times this season than any other time of the year.
With people come love, laughs, and conflict. Running and hiding may be one way to handle those we struggle with, but not so for the Dose. I’m facing these people head on, with my three-point plan… here’s how it works:
Show love. We’ve all heard that kindness is contagious. And the Dose can take that a step further: showing love towards another human being deters bad behavior. But should bad words be spoken or bad deeds occur… do not respond, do not retaliate – love more!
Meet them where they’re at. Accept people for who they are and for how they act. Holidays are not the time to expect people to change their ways, demeanor, or habits to suit your likes!
Get over yourself: Of all the times of the year, this is the time to think less about yourself and more about others! Yes. It. Is. Remember – it the season of giving!
Holiday Happiness… it’s not only in the movies or on the pages of a book… it’s real and all up to me you us!
