Symptoms of Inner Peace at Christmas

Watch for these signs of Peace from within:

  •  The tendency to think and act spontaneously rather then out of fear. (Especially giving and receiving gifts.)
  •  An ability to enjoy each moment.
  •  The loss of interest in judging other people.
  •  Decreased interest in interpreting the actions of others.
  • The progressive loss of ability to worry.
  • A declining interest in conflict.
  •  Increased gratitude to God and others.
  •  Feeling connected with others, nature and God.
  • A tendency to let things happen rather than make them happen.
  • Accepting the love of God and friends and giving yours to them. 

If you have any of the above symptoms, please be advised that your condition of Christmas Peace may be quite advanced and is probably infectious. There is no known cure so you may have to live with it the rest of your life.
