Christmas Focus

Look for the good in everyone

It's that time of year again already.  Some people love Christmas, some people endure it, some people loath it with a passion, which one are you?

If you remember that wherever you put your focus then your thoughts will enable your body to make chemical reactions to match them.   So if you focus on anger then pretty soon you will feel it through your body.  If you focus on sadness you will feel sad.  If you don't believe me try it out with a number of thoughts - happy, sad, angry ... you get the picture.

Now knowing that, what would you rather feel in your body?   Would you like to feel good, happy, full of joy.   Then you know what you have to do.  Instead of getting annoyed or angry with things or people, accept that they are just people and things and that everything changes.  What you feel anger about today will be gone tomorrow.   

So to feel happy and joyful at Christmas focus on seeing everything differently.  If you don't like Christmas just become neutral to it.

It's worth a try !   No more squabbles, no more "he said, she said" arguments.   Just for today focus on the good in everyone rather than look at their bad points.   Remember we are all human, but none of us are all bad, we do have some redeeming features.

Merry Christmas and I hope that you will feel happy and full of joy wherever you are and with whoever you are with.
