Best tips for being negative during holidays

In her "TIPS ON STAYING NEGATIVE OVER THE HOLIDAYS" Dr. Claudia Luiz, a seasoned mental health clinician, offers readers her best tips for being negative. "You can't always be positive, and we have enough how-to's on that, so this is a different take on how to create sanity."

Sanity, according to Dr. Luiz, is more fun than either enlightenment or happiness because "you can feel whatever you want when you are sane. I love SANITY because it provides you with strength and balance no matter what experiences you are having."

The best part about SANITY, Dr. Luiz explains, is how you find it. "Sanity is found through a process of discovery," she explains. "It's not a prescription you can take, or a path you can follow that's been staked out by someone else. No two people are alike, that's why prescriptions, paths and steps can't always work."

"Discovering sanity happens through experiences - both negative and positive," explains Dr. Luiz, whose is currently writing up her method as a set of stories that explicitly lay out the experiences that lead to discovering sanity so that readers can begin their own searches.

While Dr. Luiz works on her book, readers can get a leg up on her writing and ideas by visiting her blog, claudialuiz.wordpress.com. Select chapters of her book on SANITY are going to be distributed to readers randomly for test purposes, so stay tuned! Don't expect the usual – this is a new, refreshing take on the age-old problem of what to do in the face of our most challenging moments.
