The holidays are supposed to be joyful. A time when we can slow down and connect with our family and friends.
And yet, many of us are anxious about the holiday season. We’re stressed about running to multiple events in a single day or being triggered by Aunt Cindy’s politics.
On this episode of Destined to Be, we’re sharing our top 4 tips for navigating family holiday events, challenging you to go where you’re celebrated, not tolerated, and offering insight on what to say if you chose not to attend a family event.
We explain how to adjust your attitude before you see family and set realistic expectations, describing why it may be difficult for people to understand your personal development journey and how to take the high road if Uncle John throws shade your way.
Listen in for advice on controlling your reaction when triggers arise and learn to leverage the vision of who you want to become to connect with family and friends this holiday season—whether or not you share the same views!
