Patience, Tolerance (& Assertiveness!) for the Holidays

Three personal characteristics to be especially aware of in our fast paced times: patience, tolerance, assertiveness- especially this Holiday season – and beyond!

Impatience is more prevalent these days as pace is so fast and time seems to be wasted if things do not happen quickly-smoothly.  Waiting on line, waiting for anything-anyone is more of a chore than ever before.  Everyone’s frustration tipping point is individual – and when levels are too high topples over into anger-violence or suppression-depression.  This season – holidays – is even more important than ever to be mindful of being tolerant and patient.  Good luck!!

EFT for Holiday Stress Release-Relief!

Many feel extra stress in this season of holidays. Whether you are hosting a family dinner or traveling to one, you may find yourself experiencing some feelings of anxiety or apprehension in preparation for the holiday gathering. This is especially true for “caregivers” and those in the “sandwich” generation.

EFT Tapping Scripts for the Holidays
(you may download free diagram for tapping points here)

Before you get started, choose a number 1-10 (10 the highest) your perceived rate of stress on this topic Here is my simple tapping script for this:

1) 3 Set up phrases (karate chop or massage on upper chest).

• • Even though I am feeling so stressed about going to __ for the holidays, I fully and deeply love & respect myself

• • Even though I know this happens to me every year and it’s ridiculous to become so stressed, I fully and deeply love and respect myself.

• Even though I know the holidays are about gratefulness & peace (inner and outer!)) and I feel full of dread, I know I can get thru this.

round of tapping: (see points in link above): so stressed with holidays
round of tapping: being grateful
round of tapping: get thru it!

Check in with your stress level about the holidays and I bet it’s much lower.

Be Assertive: Saying No Effectively

The ability to communicate ‘no’ really reflects that you are in the driver’s seat of your own life, and can give gives you a sense of empowerment. How to do it most effectively?

A study in the Journal of Consumer Research by Professor Patrick and Henrik Hagtvedt found that saying “I don’t” as opposed to “I can’t” allowed participants to extract themselves from unwanted commitments.

While “I can’t” sounds like an excuse that’s up for debate, “I don’t” implies you’ve established certain rules for yourself, suggesting conviction and stability and are more effective in getting your point across.

There are a few other ways you can get more comfortable with saying no.

It’s a lot easier to be assertive with a stranger selling you something than it is when, say, your pleading co-worker asks for a ride to the airport. Get comfortable with your assertiveness when it’s easy so you’ll be prepared when there’s more pressure.

It’s easier to say no when you know exactly how to say it,so come up with a few anchor phrases for different situations. “No, I don’t buy from solicitors” for door-to-door salespeople, for example. “No, I don’t go out during the week” for co-workers who want to go on a drinking binge on a Monday night.

When you have these phrases ready, you don’t have to waste time wavering over an excuse. And you start to develop a reflexive behavior of saying no.

Being assertive is a core communication skill. Being assertive means that you express yourself effectively and stand up for your point of view, while also respecting the rights and beliefs of others. Being assertive can also help boost your self-esteem and earn others’ respect.

Assertiveness can help you control stress and anger and improve coping skills. Do you need help learning assertive behavior and communication?
