“Here are three helpful things to keep in mind when seeing loved ones.

1. Other people’s hurtful behavior might be unpleasant to receive, but you will be less threatened by it when you realize it’s a symptom of their pain, not a comment on your value or even how they actually feel about you!

2. It’s okay to grow and change and embrace who you are now. With familiar relationships, old patterns can die hard. You don’t have to play the same role you’ve always played.

3. You’ll have so much more fun when you can appreciate people for what they DO offer instead of feeling frustrated by what they don’t. Let’s not compare our loved ones to the people we wish they were.”

I messed with the original phrasing a little bit and hopefully it didn’t change the message but here is a seriously good perspective as we enter into this holiday season!
