How to survive the holidays!

Hi, this is Dr. Dan Ratner. I'm here to talk with you today about how to survive the holidays. It's a funny phrase to say survive the holidays, but the reality is, is very important that we talk about it this way. Why? Because the way people think about the holidays is that they're supposed to be a time of great joy.
They're supposed to be easy. But the fact is, they aren't. These are times when we get together with our families. And believe it or not, our families are often our most stressful people in our lives, even if we love them and even if we have a great time with them. The fact is, in the holidays, all kinds of issues are brought up.
We're brought out of our normal daily lives, and suddenly we're back in our old lives. Well, that's something to survive. That's something for us to try to figure out how to navigate. So here's the thing. From a columns perspective, the power column is especially important here. The power column is the thing that tells you if you're in a good relationship with yourself at the moment, and we've got to track it moment to moment, well, throughout the holidays, you're going to have ups and downs in power.
You're going to have them more than you would in your everyday life, in all likelihood, because you've got all of those old characters playing the old roles, bringing up all of the main issues. The core narrative is a way that you can know yourself. So if you haven't done your core narrative, that's okay. But the basic idea is you want to have a good sense of who you are at your core.
How have you suffered in your life? Keep that in mind when you're sitting around that Thanksgiving table. So keep that in mind when it's time for Christmas or Hanukkah or whatever you're celebrating, because those are times where you're going to feel challenged within yourself. And the more you know what's going on with you, the better you'll do.
