This most recent holiday with my family was the most peaceful one in as long as I can remember. So, I've decided to share the strategies that I've been using to create more harmony in those relationships.
I reference my previous episode, Don't Own Someone Else's Shortcomings for guidance about not taking it personally if your family members have not been able to meet your needs,
Specifically, I worked to see and understand my family members as imperfect human beings like the rest of us. I make efforts to remember why my soul chose my family members and uncover the lessons that I am to learn from those choices.
It can also be helpful to identify the challenges and gifts that we inherit from our ancestors so that we can make efforts to utilize our gifts and take steps to overcome our challenges.
Take Action Item:
Talk with your parents, grandparents, or other family members to get information about your ancestors. Identify their challenges and/or gifts and take one small step to enact that gift or overcome the challenge as it applies to you.
Please email me with any questions or concerns.
Wishing you abundant peace and love!
