The two biggest universal stressors are kids and money, and for most of us the Holidays involve both.
When kids are stressing you out, it can be helpful to remember that adolescence is temporary, and most kids figure it out eventually. By the time most folks are age 25-30 they are fairly pleasant neighbors and coworkers. When interviewed, most voice appreciating adults’ kindness and consistency back when they were challenging.
When it comes to money, it helps to remember that money responds to the way you treat it; if you want financial stability, treat it with care. My brother is a retired millionaire, and he says, “Don’t ask where your money went, tell it where to go.”
I am not a great with resolutions, but if you are, perhaps you can resolve to be more mindful in the way you treat adolescents (kindness and consistency) and money (care and deliberation). Might take some stress away!
