Everyone has a tradition that they carry from years prior in their own life. Some traditions come from growing up and some are developed as a new family. These traditions no matter how they started, give us memories and a way to belong to something that is familiar to us. This year take a moment to ask a friend about their family traditions and take an interest in their story. Why you may ask? This Christmas season make it about caring about someone else’s life and if that tradition includes making cookies, creating a new holiday dish to serve, or painting a new ornament, give that friend a new recipe to share or paint a new ornament with the year inscribed. Share with your friend that you want to enhance their tradition this year and give them something to remember you by. It does not have to be about spending a lot, it can be something as simple as writing a new recipe on a card or making it for them; the idea behind this is making memories that will live on for years to come.

The least thing that people want to do at times is start to exercise during the holidays because it is so busy and tempting with all the treats that are around. Many people also eat to fill a void that is in their life when they are home alone or they lack motivation to do something like working out at a gym or even walking around the neighborhood. This Christmas season, look for someone who you know is struggling with working out and encourage them. Make a committment to meet them at the gym or park every day. This will make the person accountable to you and at the same time for you. Your friend will succeed and do better because of your encouragement.

Many people ask me what makes me genuinely happy? I believe that only you can make yourself happy if you choose to be. It might sound simple to say just be happy, but being positive is one way that helps. It is easy to complain about family, friends, co-workers or a spouse. This Christmas season as we enter a new year, let’s not be so quick to complain about others, let’s talk about the good that someone does. Sometimes it really takes a lot of effort on our part especially if the person is not nice, but we can ALL do it! So the secret to genuine happiness is being generous in our love, sharing it with others and focusing on what we have to give and not what we do not have. It is not always about our financial status but our spiritual status. Our love should radiate out from inside and spread to others.

Christmas is a very busy season for many and it is easy to get caught up in everything that we have to do to get ready. It almost seems like we should start our decorating and preparations on November 1st so that when December 1st comes around we can enjoy family and gather around the tree to enjoy special moments. This Christmas take a moment to spend time doing something that is special to you or a loved one instead of spending money on getting something for the sake of getting a gift. Plan a special trip with your loved ones, enjoy a movie, dinner, theme park or whatever it is that you consider quality time. Gifts do not always have to be tangible, they can be the quality time that you spend with someone.

It is easy to be friends with everyone that shares your same opinion, likes and dislikes and those in your inner circle. This Christmas, embrace a new friendship, welcome someone new to share in the joy of Christmas. Maybe there is someone who is at work, school or in your neighborhood that does not have the Christmas spirit. Take a moment to encourage that person and nurture the friendship. You will be surprised at how much you have to give of yourself to others as you share the Christmas spirit this season and it will make you a much happier and healthy you!
