Holidays, Stock Market, Mass Hysteria

Take a break and remember the Reason for the Season

People are writing me from all over the world about the Black Friday sales and people getting up at 4 am to go to the sales in the US. It almost looks like mass hysteria. A shopping frenzy, like a feeding frenzy. The action when you've forgotten the reason for the action.

And then there's the stock market.

This is a good time to work with your emotional intelligence. You know that poem "When you can keep your head about you when others are losing theirs"?

I'm thinking too about the bbc interview with the Norwegian ship captain who did the rescue for the Explorer. The interviewer kept asking how the passengers felt, were they afraid, etc. The captain stuck to the matter at hand. They were rescued, had food and services. No, he hadn't been able to talk to them - HE WAS BUSY RESCUING THEM and keeping his head about him.
A good thing to keep in mind when there's mass hysteria and panic going on. This sort of situation leads to impulsive actions - like, I'm going to settle this once and for all. The kind of energy that makes us end relationships when they didn't need to end, pop the question to the wrong person, buy high and sell low.

The urge to impulsivity makes us THINK we have do something, and worse than that, do ANYTHING. It's not good emotional intelligence and it's hard to hold the center when it seems like everyone else is ...

To learn more about emotional intelligence, take THE EQ COURSE. It would be a good use of your time right now, as well as attending to the "real meaning" of the holidays. Which, regardless of your religious perspective, came from the word "holy days."

Stop taking the bait at family get-togethers

STOP TAKING THE BAIT

There's no questions things escalate at the holidays. It's supposed to be a "happy" time, and all the old family ghosts start crawling out of the walls.

For instance, did you ever walk in to the family get-together and get hit by one of these. I hope not, but few of these escape from this sort of in-family junk. It's easier to stop than you realize. That's why I designed this course, and it really works.

• You wouldn't be single if you knew how to get along?
• At this house, we show up on time.
• She always arrives late so she can get lots of attention.
• Why do you always have to bring that up?
• When are you going to grow up?
• When are you going to learn some manners?
• Why don't you do like your big brother and ...
• Why do you always have to be so sensitive?
• YOU don't need any pie. You're too fat already.
• You eat like you were raised in a stable.
• Your sister doesn't act that way, why do you?
• Do you have to ruin every family get-together, why don't you just get along?

YOU LOVE THEM, NOW LEARN HOW TO GET ALONG WITH THEM.

QUIT TAKING THE BAIT. (And don't dangle it out there, either.)

The Difficult People course was designed to get you through the holidays, and benefit you for the rest of your life.

Stop being the victim, the nice guy, the sweet one, the scapegoat, the brunt of all the jokes.

IS YOUR BIG BROTHER STILL ASKING YOU TO PULL IS THUMB???
