Good morning, it's Dr. James. Hey I hope you off to a beautiful start today. It's
great to see you. Thank you for your time and thank you for your energy. And this
morning I'm gonna do something a lot different than I traditionally do. It's
the time of the year we're thinking a lot about investing and gifts and
presents and things that we want to give to loved ones; and it's a beautiful thing,
I love this time of the year. I love celebrating full-on and full out but
because I have a lot of memories around this time of the year - they're also
not so pleasant, I want to give you a couple of science-based experiences that
you can create this time of the year if you are caught up in the STRESS versus
the BLESSING of the season; wondering about what it is that you want to be
doing in terms of gift-giving and its relationship to abundance happiness and
success. I know it's something we've never talked about before, but you know
what? We're between Thanksgiving or and thinking about Christmas, Hanukkah and
all the different things that are happiest time of the year and a lot of
us get really stressed out about this season wondering what we're gonna give.
Well here's what's really interesting. I came across a bit of research that
actually followed 265 different studies; 265 studies that talked about the
difference between giving a material gift in its relationship to happiness or
investing in experiences and its relationship to happiness. And it was
absolutely compelling. 265 studies suggested that when we put all of our
energy into material giving we don't necessarily feel so good about it. In
fact there's a lot of relationship to feeling a letdown, a sense of sadness,
even depression, after the holidays when all of it went into material giving. Well
here's the antidote or here's the healing opportunity or here's the the
experience that you can bring. I use that word experience very specifically
because the researchers who did those 265 studies they found out that when the
investment was given for experiences like, "hey
you know what? We're gonna take the money that we'd spend on gift giving and we're
gonna give the gift of an experience. We're gonna go someplace; we're gonna do
something; we're gonna be part of an experience that literally takes us
outside of the the gift giving and opening a present by actually
experiencing the present." So much of this research connected to going to some
place that you've never been before with loved ones, with your chosen family, with
your family and doing something that stretches you outside of your comfort
zone. I love this. So this time of the year when you're thinking about, oh my
gosh, you know what do I give this person?
Giving that personal lunch where you've never been before and giving them
undivided presence can give you incredible sense of happiness. If you've
got children you're thinking, you know what, I don't really want to just fill a
tree full of stuff. I want to go someplace and enlighten them and make
them feel a sense of connection and a sense of possibility a sense of
happiness. And it comes back to you many- many fold for providing that experience.
I love this time of the year and I love the research that's now connected with
the stress that so often happens with getting so caught up in the material and
moving away and moving into the experiential. And how the experiential
gives us a greater sense of happiness, a greater sense of satisfaction peace,
abundance, and interesting enough, a sense of success ... hmm and every way you want to
define it giving the experience is what gives us
the opportunity to create a life that we love. During the season of giving the
giving of experiences it was what makes us come most alive. So with that thank
you for the experience of serving you and serving alongside of you much love
and many blessings. Have an awesome day. Bye for now
