Tip 4: Comfort & Joy for the Holidays

Tip 4

Imagine a thread connecting every human being and connect to the holiday spirit.

Connecting yourself to the web of life can provide comfort. We are not in each other’s way, but we are the way for each other. We are the sources of comfort for one another.

Finding ourselves with more limited resources can encourage us to find ways to give to others in new and creative ways.

Giving of yourself — your time, your spirit, your patience — is a way of giving gifts to others.

For today, notice all the different ways you can give gifts to others: comment on someone’s new haircut, take time to listen to someone, notice if someone’s done a good job, or if your spouse has done something really helpful around the house. Gifts can be given in many ways and in many forms.
