Session 15: Grocking the Holiday Greeting

article image placeholderUploaded by @DBPardes
It has to do with what the holidays have brought to my mind lately with regard to our immediate desire to sort of wish people goodness and kindness and good tidings and all the amazing vibes that come with holiday season and also knowing that assuming things about people can get us into a little bit of murky waters because we're not always. It's unclear sometimes, and people don't give the cues sometimes, and you don't know what they're feeling in certain realms of their lives, especially around holiday Greetings

Spread the joy but be the love behind it

Intuition and caring

And I like to think of this time of year, also in the pre Christian sense of finding the light and celebrating the light in the darkest days. And I think maybe we could let that energy or that concept guide us, our intuition, our caring, as you mentioned, to responding to people once we've listened. It's super important, I think, just to let other people take the lead if we're wanting to broach the subject of the holidays

@JLMcMillan buttons not needed

It the idea of not wrapping things up and just kind of having that pause, having that silence and then having the sort of the nuanced ability to just move on, but wrapping things up and putting a bow on it and putting a button on it. Yeah. It dismisses how complicated life is. It's a great point. I really just appreciate you calling that out, and it's it's really helpful to name it that it's really great. Thank you
