Winter holidays bring parties, celebrations, cheering, sharing, etc.. Unfortunately, people often attach high expectations to them, and this may result in holidays depression. "Holidays depression gone: how to cultivate joyful living during the holidays" (http://www.iswb.org/holidays-depression-how-to-live-joyfully-during-holidays/) addresses opportunities and question marks which arise during the holidays.

"Resolutions for new year can be meaningful, and make a difference in people's lives. And, with a positive domino effect, on the people around them" says Frank Ra, founder of the Institute of Subjective Well-Being. "However, a resolution for new year can also be an exercise in wishful thinking... So we asked: what makes the difference between a successful resolution for new year, and one which you will forget on January, 2nd? We shared our findings in our free booklet titled Resolution for new year: how to flourish in challenging times. (http://www.amareway.org/holisticliving/12/resolution-for-new-year-new-years-resolutions-how-to-flourish-in-challenging-times-with-top-2012-new-years-resolutions/).

The booklets cover several aspects of living joyfully the transition to the new year. It includes the importance of respecting all beings (because, quoting from the booklet, "we are all on the same boat, figuring out our present and future, trying to do the best of it"). And also includes eating properly and exercising among one's priorities ("no matter what's your change, you benefit from feeding your body and mind with appropriate food, in appropriate quantities, and by exercising. This ensures you have full energy to devote to your resolution" and holidays celebrations).
