Here we are shouting, “Kanpai” It’s the Japanese way of toasting. What I like about this shot is that alcohol and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the fun. Everyone no matter how they choose to indulge gets to enjoy the cheer.
I am not someone who consumes alcohol – for lots of reasons – and I enjoy it when I am able to be myself with a group of friends. How about when you go out with friends? Does everyone feel safe in ordering what they really want to consume? Or do they succumb to peer pressure and order what everyone else is having? Are you free to be yourself or do you do what everyone else does?
I encourage you to be yourself in all settings, especially during the busy holidays. You will have many opportunities to be around others who are celebrating. Be yourself. Be true to who you are and how you want to enjoy those special moments.
