Where do we get our views, opinions, values, etc. from? We get them from the things and people around us: people on TV, social media, families, friends, etc. This is what helps shape you. When we want to change, or we like who we are these are some of the things we will like about ourselves. We will stand up for who we are because that is what we identify with. These things can change over time as we grow, and our wants will change as well. From being able to get into college to having the tables turn and paying for your kids to go to college. When we go to unknown places with people that feel unfamiliar to us that can be scary. We must just gently enter the water before we start splashing away in these situations. When it comes to the uncomfortable the safest approach is wade into the pool slowly and see how it is. This will be able to ease your emotions while also doing what you need to do. I can fear things the first time I try them or do them. I tend to make mistakes most of the way through doing it at first. While I used to get upset at myself about each individual mistake, after time I learned. I was becoming familiar too what I was doing. I had to make the mistakes to go “oh yea this would not make sense.” “Yes, you are right I should not have done that.” Then after you learn what to avoid and you have learned the subject at a steady pace you can increase the level of difficulty. So eventually once I learned and knew a shortcut or knew about a subject, I would show others how I could do it. I would show them my approach and what I found and let them then create their own spin on it. Its still being original because it is about YOUR way of thinking and how you approach something. When you are doing something that you love and you get that excitement feeling in your heart, I want that feeling again. What are the types of things that bring out the best in you and you wish too would be doing? Now is the time when we must take it the easiest on others. During the holidays, families can be very fragile, and you never know what someone else may be going through. Now is the best time of year too being the one solving problem and not the problem. If you are stressed, try to take deep breaths, and know you are doing the best that you can. A lot of people get excited and into the spirit which is nice. Then others feel there is too much to do, and that can be a buzzkill. The best things for everyone now are patience. Try to be patient and understanding with the world right now and it will be worth it. This can be the happiest time of the year, so let us make it a good one.
