Quick Tips to Get You Through That Dreaded Interaction This Holiday [VIDEO]

· ·

 

In this video, Nance discusses #holidaygatherings where you’ll be with people who:

  • Disrespect and demean you
  • Pretend they don’t know about your sexual preference or lifestyle choices
  • Ask #inappropriatequestions about private matters
  • Have strong views about #politics that are different from yours Or worse.

I’ve been in your shoes. It can be painful, stressful, and unearth past upsets you buried deep inside. That’s part of why I wrote the #DIYConflictResolution book. You’re probably not going to have time to read the complete book and do all the exercises before the holiday gathering that you fear. So, here are some quick tools you can use:

  1. Make The Seven Choices, so you can be the best version of yourself throughout the gathering, for as long as you stay, and regardless of who you encounter.
  2. Think through the scenarios that have disrupted your holiday joy in the past, and assume you might be challenged to handle them better again.
  3. Have an exit strategy.

As #MichelleObama said, “When they go low, we go high.” Stand firm in the highest version of yourself, and make this your happiest holiday yet.
