XENIUM
 |
| LET THE STRESS GO! |
XENIUM is
a compulsory gift. By compulsory, I mean
it is a required gift. It is customary
for gifts to be purchased and given, especially to ambassadors and Heads of
State. This custom started in ancient Greece
and travelled throughout Europe, becoming an international unwritten
requirement. During holiday seasons,
weddings, and birthday celebrations the common folk have adapted the XENIUM
rules of gift giving. Most of us have participated in the compulsory gift
practice of XENIUM. There are two ways for us to explore the phenomena of
XENIUM. First, it is important to
acknowledge the truth. Some gifts must
be given. XENIUM is an important
practice in family dynamics. Sometimes XENIUM is important in the work place
environment. By intentionally choosing not to practice XENIUM, you are choosing
to make your life more difficult. What
is important for you to figure out is:
Who needs to be on your XENIUM list?
Who are the Heads of State in your family system? Mother in laws, like it or not, require
XENIUM gifts. However, gifts to all of
your friends, acquaintances, colleagues, and all of your family members are not
XENIUMS. What gifts falls into the category
of an XENIUM and what gifts fall into the category of should is important to
know. Use this holiday season to drop
your should gifts and to honor your Heads of State in your family system. Don’t
let your critical monkey-mind run-a-muck, get clear within yourself and then
gift accordingly. What XENIUM practices
will make your life less stressful?
