Holiday Survival Tips

Many of us will be interacting with more people (family members and so called friends) because of the holiday season. For people that are totally into Amerikkan culture, this is a time to get together with love ones, eat, spend money and be merry. For people like me and those of you who read this blog, this is the time to be ridiculed, judged and if you are from the south like me its time to here “are you a Muslim”.

The so called holiday season can be a ruff time for people with none European thoughts, diets and cultural beliefs etc...   So how do we have a good time without getting into an argument with friends and family this holiday season? I have no freaking idea, but I wrote down a few things that I might try my self.

1. Expect plenty of bull s#@t to happen. A lot of B.S. happens most of the time we get together any way. Save your heart, mind and soul from being shocked by expecting your family and friends to act a fool. Your mind should be prepared for the most outrages stuff.

2. Practice stress relief techniques. Practice breathing, meditating, and focusing techniques to get you through when grown folks say something stupid, little children act ignorant reflecting their parents (or lack their of) and when people say things like “you think your to good” or “you weren’t raised that way”.

3. Do not be judgmental. Do not judge family and friends or belittle them because they are not as aware as you are or eat the same as you do. If we are as advanced as we say we are, we should be able to live by example. Let your light shine.

4. Overstanding. Overstand that everyone in this physical existence is here for different reasons. Some of us are here to be the star and some of us are here to be a movie extra.  Overstand that you can’t bring people into enlightenment, they must seek for it.

5. Do not get into conversations about Obama, the economy, or any conversation for that matter. Enough said!

6. Look at the spiritual side of things. Many of the holidays celebrated in this culture are not as European base as many of us may think. Sure, they have historicalyzed many characters over the years like Santa clause, Jesus, the snow man and Christopher Columbus to name a few, but that is what you do when you have no history. These holidays have spiritual and astrological base out of ancient KMT and indigenous people from all across the great mother. For example “Holiday” comes from “Holy day” which just means a “whole day” which is just every day.

7. Don’t even participate. Many of the things written above were centered on self or things that you can do to have a peaceful time around family. That’s because I wanted to talk about the things we can control. At the end of the day, you should try to spend time with people that truly care about you no matter what your traditions are.  Those types of people are very few in number and may not be members of your “last name” family. I personally have struggled with ways to try to inform and keep my family together, but it’s usually ignored until they get into some kind of bind and need some type of assistance. This type of relationship can wear and individual down and is very frustrating. So my advice to those of us who have tried all they can and seen no results, I say f@#k it, and move on. Many of us have wasted years trying to help people that do not want to help themselves. Its time that we continue on the path of enlightenment, live our lives and assist only those who truly want our help. Peace
