Do you remember what it was like to be a child at Christmas? Remember the excitement, the dreams, the wonder, the energy? Take some time this year to find your inner child. Instead of spending the entire holiday season in a panic, find some way to fit laughter into your schedule.
This time of year, we see people in the stores and on the roads, getting angry due to holiday stress. Our workplaces become overwhelming as we push toward the end of the year. We are uptight at home as we worry about getting everything ready for the holidays. We have forgotten the most important recipe this holiday season, fun and laughter.
Maybe it is time we learn from the children. They know there is magic in the air. When did we lose sight of it?
This Holiday Season, stop the negative energy and play like children. Stop the negative posts on Facebook and vow to only spread positive messages, preferably, funny messages. Don’t give gifts out of obligation, give them out of love. Don’t just send holiday cards, add a personal note of thanks. Maybe the magic you create will spread!
We, in the counseling field, know that laughter and love is the best medicine for good health. You have an infinite supply; pass it on!!!
