Happy Christmas Eve Eve🎄🎄🎄This Thursday the news is wrought with tragedies. Storms. Mandates. Recalls. Shootings. Carjackings. Fires. Coronavirus. Unfortunately, you see it every day. People with bad intentions wreaking havoc... usually with disaterous results. Coupled with mental health issues, Christmastime can bring out the worst in people. Online disputes between complete strangers about a variety of topics. Politically divided conversations amongst opposing factions. Experts are challenged on their work by an observer. Sometimes they're interested in offering constructive criticism. Oftentimes, they want attention from the Event Host or Sponsors. Grinches. Scrooges. Bah Humbuggers. Miserable Individuals. I call them Basement Dwellers. You can give a person the whole house, but they choose to go lower and settle for the least. No matter how you try to spread holiday cheer or charitable giving, they just want to infuse their own agenda. So what do you do? How do you maintain your dignity and your success while quashing the "noise". While doing my research, I saw these tips on how to deal with them:
1. Picture what you want to have.
2. Set boundaries.
3. Avoid family conflict.
4. Focus on what you control.
5. Distinguish hatred from critics.
6. Don't take it personally.
7. Use it to get better.
8. Humanize yourself.
9. Don't focus on the negative.
I implore you to put these tips into practice as you face your own challenges. Don't take it personal. Recognize that they can only come from their knowledge levels and experiences. Everyone has a different mindset for holiday celebrations. Folks approach matters in ways they've learned. That's why it's important to know who surrounds you and who supports you. What holiday stressors have you worked through? What are your coping mechanisms? Do you have any lasting effects?
