Change your mind and you change your world.
The more we become aware of simple mind shifting strategies, the more this knowledge gets structured in our consciousness and awareness. Then it is more likely that our attitude and behavior will change spontaneously, without any effort on our part.
Using effort to consciously practice an attitude or to cultivate a mood is unnecessary and can cause stress and strain. It is important only that we know what our attitudes are and that we become aware of them.
Knowledge has organizing power inherent in it. It is simply enough to know, to be aware of the strategies; the knowledge will be processed and metabolized by our bodies, and the results will be spontaneous.
The results do not occur overnight, but begin to manifest gradually over a period of time.
Read a strategy a day, then you will see the changes that happen spontaneously in your life .

You're right that the holidays is when you have the opportunity to celebrate them. I got back from being with my family a few hours ago. The atmosphere was every bit as "holiday-like" as if I was there on the actual calendar holiday. There was much love and caring all around. I cherish my time with them regardless of when and for how long I'm with them.
hmmm that one hits home.
