juonec4dmodels.poster@blogger.com, You’ve heard the expression, “Time heals all wounds,” haven’t you? Well, I think that’s a bunch of bologna. In fact, I think time can really make things worse – particularly when you’ve been wounded by a family member or close friend, and now you’ve got to sit across from each other during a “joyous” holiday meal! That’s why I want to tell you about two of the biggest mistakes we often make at holiday get-togethers with family and friends. If you avoid these common traps, your holidays can become a time of joyful fellowship with your loved ones... MISTAKE #1: REACTING WITHOUT TRYING TO UNDERSTAND Too often, we pay so much attention to others’ words that we forget there are emotions behind them. People say stuff when they’re angry that they don’t really mean. They use words they didn’t intend to use. So it’s important to look at the emotions behind the words — because while people don’t always say what they mean, they always feel what they feel. Avoiding this mistake requires that we think about how the other person feels. The truth is, unkind people are those who need your understanding the most. When people are rude or uncaring, they are screaming to the world, “I’m in pain!” Hurt people hurt people. Keep this in mind so you don’t stumble into the next common relationship trap... Read the rest of my letter about how you can make the holidays a time of joy with your family. |
