While you may have family gatherings specifically because you hate to spending time with difficult relative, no doubt you can find something that you can look forward to or feel grateful for in meeting with your family. Maybe you are excited to see your cousins, or happy you to cook. Find things to be grateful for even before you arrive to the family function. That way you can go into the situation already feeling thankful.Enjoy yourself
You can not spoil any celebration party just because of a family member. Keep your focus on spending time with the family you enjoy and doing activities you find fun. Even if the family member you hate in this room, try to focus on other things. Find a distraction to help you get through the interaction(like playing with pet) if you find yourself in a conversation with this relative. You may suggest making name cards and sitting far from this person if you fear sitting next to the relative during meals. Always try to do new things
You will surely fail at some occasion but don't loose hope. Try to do different things always. Don't take these failures as a sign you should give up. In reality, it means you should keep trying. If you are good at something. If not, you can work to be the best. Just do what you like and what you enjoy and keep finding new things to do.Tips
Interesting article by the Author. I liked the concept of doing what you fear. In fact that is the only way to deal with it. Head on approach on fear works very well. Then I also enjoyed that point about being grateful. I think there are many beautiful things we already have and it is time to express our sincere gratitude towards people, life and nature. A little effort and great courage is required to start first but if we start doing a thing for 21 days straight then it will eventually become a life long habit. Once we make the habit of going out of comfort zone, we will treasure it for life. I went on for a 4500 kms solo trip in train for 12 days! That was my greatest and most memorable experience till date. It happened in 2014!
