Hello again! Following is Tip #2 to help you warm your heart so you can keep your cool this holiday season, and all year long. I hope you find it useful!
For holiday bliss: Don’t take anything personally.
Being around family for the holidays often reminds us that those we love the most can also irritate us the most. The key to remaining blissful when faced with others’ annoying behavior is to remember to not take it personally.
When anyone—whether it’s a loved one or a stranger—treats us in a way that is anything other than loving, patient, and kind, it truly isn’t about us. It’s about them. Behavior that is hurtful comes from the wounded place in each of us; if we are disturbed or suffering in any way, we tend to spread the pain around. Hurt people hurt people.
As long as we love ourselves and know our worth, we won’t be distressed by how others treat us. We may not appreciate or condone someone’s unenlightened behavior towards us, but we won’t feel resentful, judge ourselves, or be traumatized by it.
When you are faced with hurtful or abusive behavior, try seeing the offending party as a small child having a tantrum and simply not knowing any better. If someone is behaving in an offensive way, it is in fact the wounded child within who is acting out. Behavior that is anything other than loving is not the behavior of a conscious, secure, adult mind and heart.
When we can recognize that unloving behavior comes from a painful place within the perpetrator, we can forgive them for aggravating us and then offer them compassion. It is in the forgiving and offering of understanding that we can find our peace—and even bliss, which we can then share with others.
Your ability to experience bliss is in your hands. Choose bliss!
