Enforced Fun: The Holiday Struggle

Now, onto the topic of enforced fun. Enforced fun is that special category of social events like birthday parties, holiday gatherings, and New Year's celebrations. These occasions demand not just your presence but also your participation in spreading joy, hugging, smiling, cheek kisses, laughter, and merriment. But let's be real; enforced fun isn't everyone's cup of tea. It might even make you sound like a Scrooge, but I have to admit, it's the one thing I dislike the most about the holiday season.

Identifying Enforced Fun

  1. Your desire to attend: If you'd rather not be there, that's a clear indicator. We should normalize saying no to things that make us uncomfortable.

  2. Pressure to attend: Are you being coerced into going? Is there social pressure or judgment for not participating?

  3. Pre-planned: If it's an event that's meticulously planned weeks or months in advance, it's likely enforced fun.

  4. Uncomfortable small talk: Is there a lot of small talk and repetitive questions? That's a classic sign.

  5. Unwanted company: Are there people you'd rather avoid, like family members you don't get along with?

  6. Lack of joy: Simply put, if it doesn't bring you joy, it's enforced fun.

Now that we've defined enforced fun, let's talk about how to navigate it, especially during the holiday season, in a way that's safe and respectful to yourself and others.

Navigating Enforced Fun: Strategies

  1. Protection Magick: You can protect yourself with crystals like black tourmaline or obsidian. Visualize shields or barriers to block negative energy.

  2. Find Joy: Even in uncomfortable situations, find something that interests you, like helping with jobs or wearing bright colors to lift your mood.

  3. Set Boundaries: Clearly communicate your limits, like specifying the time you'll spend at the event or taking breaks for yourself.

  4. Assertiveness: Be polite but firm when asserting your boundaries.

  5. Grounding: Connect with the earth's energy to stay centered and calm.

  6. Cleansing: Use herbs like sage or rosemary to cleanse your space before and after the event.

  7. Shadow Work: Reflect on past events that triggered discomfort and work on healing your inner child.

Remember, enforcing boundaries and taking care of your mental well-being is essential during enforced fun events. It's not about being an butt hole, but rather ensuring you're in a healthy state of mind.
