Anticipation of the Holidays

#topictalk: Anticipation of the Holidays can bring as much happiness as the Holidays themselves. The anticipation of the celebration, the festivities and the joy they will experience teaches them delayed gratification, patience, feeling hope and savoring the moment. Savoring is a form of appreciation and gratitude which naturally inspires happiness within. And the real reward is the journey, and not the destination. So point out the feelings they’re feeling in these weeks leading up to the Holidays - the joy, the excitement, the anticipation they’re feeling, and explain to them that it’s natural and a sign of great things to come! And this means feeling happy and joyful of the great things to come in the present moment.
