Managing Your Stress During the Holidays and Beyond: Tip #25 – Believe in Magic

You only have to look at a young child enjoying the holidays to get in touch with the magic of the season. The magic of anticipation, of wonder, of believing in that which we cannot see. As we grow up, we often lose sight of this type of “knowing” and some of us spend a great deal of effort trying to recapture it as adults.

On this day, stop and take a moment to remember the magic. Get in touch with your inner child if you have to. But try to look at what’s in front of you through innocent, trusting, and believing eyes. And see what kind of a difference that makes in how you experience not only this day, but tomorrow, and the day after that, and so on.

How would your life be different if you believed in something without seeing it first?
