The holidays are a time to celebrate with family and friends, to express gratitude for your good fortune and to reflect on improvements you want to make. Ideally, these are things we do on a regular basis; sometimes, however, “life gets in the way.” It’s easy to get caught up in the rigors of daily activities and responsibilities, so when the holidays roll in we feel a kind of pressure to be exceptionally “good.” We speed through family and business affairs, doing our best not to fight.
But it’s in the nature of planning for, and traveling through, the holidays (finance, business, shopping, travel, family) when disputes sometimes rear their ugly head. If you find yourself dealing with a insurmountable problem, talk to an experienced mediator as soon as possible. Whatever your dispute, mediation is a positive, inexpensive way to approach it. Resolve your problems quickly so you can be truly thankful this holiday season.
