Sometimes the people that we are often surrounded by during the holidays are the people who make us the craziest. Why do I let my mean cousin get under my skin? And my parents! They go out of their way to push my buttons! Maybe it’s time to learn a quick holiday boundary setting and peace creating reaction. Remember, if you practice it enough, PEACE will become the new automatic response! Let’s do this!

In this episode we will learn:
~Why we react so strongly to “button pushers”
~What to do instead of getting upset (it works every time!)
~Choosing peace the Wayne Dyer way
~Om Shanti meditation

Joy by 13 Stories:

I take my joy straight up every day…

Bliss is simply what I want

I'm not doing, but I'm done

Change the way you look at things

and it all falls in place

Dig two graves or forgiveness

I choose peace instead of this

You go on about nothin’

While you’re missing what there is…

Es no sobre “getting”

Es sobre “letting”

I take my joy straight up every day

Chorus:

Milkshake

Chocolate covered hard-ache

Dig my own religion

Live like a magician

Take my mind from noisy

To what I find rosy

It’s none of my business what you think so…

I take my joy straight up every day

I walk down a different street

Do not go right back to sleep

I’m your violet incense

I’ve learned I can make grass grow

I know like I know like I know like I know

I take my joy straight up every day

Don’t die with music still in you

Inside my mind God is blue

When I’m 500 years old

I’ll still be thanking you

Open to everything

Attached to nothing

I take my joy straight up every day
