If you find yourself feeling irritable, lonely, blue, or otherwise emotionally disrupted during the holidays, try asking yourself:
* How old is the part of me who's feeling that way?
* What does that part of me need/want?
* How might I as an adult provide it?

Holidays or not, don’t give up your life for a family that can’t even see who you are and never will. A corrupt family system will eat you alive no matter how much you try to keep silent and appease it.

There's often a lot of pressure and guilt tripping during holidays from family and culture to "forgive and forget", "let bygones be bygones" and so on. But there are good reasons why we all need to forgive (if we choose to do so at all) at our own speed.

Here's a very small poem I wrote on the #WinterSolstice in 2010.
Stillness is a state of being many of us diligently avoid but if you make some time for it today, you may find it beneficial, and perhaps even as profound as I did on this shortest day of the year 14 years ago.

When a man tells you he's in trouble, listen. Many men won't speak up until they're near the end of their rope. Engage patiently with authentic curiosity and find out what's going on. Indifference or attacks on his character when he's raw and vulnerable can send him spiraling downward.
