Sometimes, a lot of people in a small space can cause tension. To stay at peace I take the time to appreciate my relatives. Everyone has differences and I respect the differences between my relatives and me. Because I appreciate my relatives, we have a good time together. They see that I respect and value them, so they give me respect and value in return. We care for one another and treat one another with kindness. Differences of opinion are interesting, and can provide good and helpful discussions about life and the future.
At every holiday, I enjoy the time with my relatives more and more. They become more valuable to me all the time because I make the effort to get to know them and understand them. I realize the importance of family relationships and I experience a close, intimate connection with my family members.
When I feel stressed or crowded, I take a deep breath and let it roll off my back. My holiday celebrations are filled with relaxation and calmness. The people in my family are worthy of my respect, and they give their respect to me. I look forward to spending holiday time with them. We always have a good time when we get together as a family for the holidays.
Today, I enjoy the time I get to spend with my relatives during the holidays.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. How can I show more respect and love to my relatives?
2. What can I do to make the holidays even better for my loved ones?
3. Are there ways I can learn to appreciate my relatives more than I already do?

Learn to Set Goals
There are those who are bounded by laws and rules, yet success is too distant for them. On the other hand, there are those who appears to be easy going people but are successful. Think you have what it takes to be like them? Or would you rather do something different to achieve the elusive success? Take heart and set your goals.
What do goals represent by the way? These are actually representations of your visions about you and your future. Goals should be achievable and realistic. These kinds of goals allow you to put them into practice or at least do some activities that allow you to monitor your progress. However, more is involved in just merely setting realistic goals. Remember that in order to achieve your goals, you must act according to your goals. Otherwise, all else would be vanity if you do not exert effort in reaching them. The following will help you set achievable goals:
1. Enhance your skills in achieving targeted goals by setting objectives, as well as standard and optional activities that will help you meet your goals.
2. Strategize and take risks in meeting your goals. Strategic thinking is very important because this will allow you to be productive and focus on the activities according to your goals.
3. Act in accordance to your goals. Proper mind setting is very important in achieving your goals. Take the extra mile. Try taking risks but never compromise your safety. Taking risks means that you are ready to learn new things and challenges that will help you in the long run.
On one hand, you may wonder why there is a need for you to set goals if you think you have not failed at all in your endeavors. Remember that setting goals does not mean that you always fail. Setting goals means that you are acknowledging your limitations and you are ready to work your way up towards success, professionally or personally. It is for this reason why objective goals matter.
Moving forward, you also have to consider that there are goals that are just too hard to achieve on your own. At times, these goals even create conflicts that you might think of surrendering in the long run. Take heart. Everybody have similar concerns at times. If this situation occurs and you think that surrendering is the last option, why not look for a partner, a friend maybe who is willing to help you out with your goals? Collaborate with your prospective partner and learn to prioritize. If it requires spending time in plotting all the possibilities, both the pros and cons, try it.
Remember that goal setting is focused on your benefits. So try working things out and focus, focus, and focus. Minimize or avoid distractions if possible so you can work your goals better. Work that proper mindset for a clearer vision of you achieving those valuable goals. If you are vying for promotion in your workplace, it is important that you see yourself already in the position you want. If you are aiming for a personal or educational goal, make things happen by planning and doing things related to your goals. You will then realize that goals, no matter how difficult they may appear, are still valuable to consider. Once your goals are achieved, your sweet inspirational stories of success will come knocking on your door commending you for a job well done.

I love my in-laws and set boundaries in order to keep our relationship healthy!
I am blessed to have a wonderful set of in-laws. We talk on the phone, have regular family dinners, and even go shopping together on occasion. Though I am close to my in-laws, there are certain boundaries I like to keep between us.
For example, I ask my in-laws to call well in advance before coming over, rather than surprising me at my doorstep. I ask that they allow me to make my own decisions when it comes to parenting my children or my relationship with my spouse. Making these boundaries crystal clear helps avoid confrontations and aggravations. I am entitled to my privacy and I protect myself from frustration when I voice my concerns and demand my space.
At times, I do notice that my in-laws try to slip their way into our lives more than I would like. When this happens, I generally advise them that I appreciate their advice and expertise. However, I am free to make my own decisions and choose what I think is best for the course of our lives.I protect our relationship because it is very important to me. However, I gently, but firmly, communicate my feelings when they try to manipulate me into doing things their way.
Today, I assess my comfort zone. I implement boundaries in order to keep our relationship thriving rather than feeling invasive.
Self-Reflection Questions:
1. Do I allow my in-laws to manipulate me into saying "yes"?
2. How can I lovingly encourage my spouse to respect the boundaries we set with our families?
3. Am I comfortable with the relationship my spouse has with my in-laws?
