TheHeth is glad the holiday rush is almost over!
This really goes along with “being more mindful” but I listed it as a separate goal because I think it’s important. People may not always return the favor. They may have their own agenda’s or wants from you but it feels good, at the end of the day, to know that you were open and direct with the people around you. This includes being honest, with yourself and others, letting them know where you stand, who you are and leaving their perceptions to them. It means giving up control and allowing others to be the masters of their own design – something too often that gets controlled or manipulated by other people. Respect is kind and kindness always entails showing respect. They go hand in hand. Don’t let someone turn you into a doormat. Set your limits, know yourself and find your confidence and then try to exude that in how you deal with others. That’s my Yoda-fu for the day.
