I Appreciate You...And You...And You too!
Amen. A simple yet great thing to hear and say. When was the last time you told someone you appreciated them? When was the last time someone said they appreciated you?
I appreciate you!
You Don’t Have Control Over Cards Dealt To You...
We may have set backs. We may question certain events in our life. Or we can take the challenge and say I got this!
Decision is yours!!
Let’s Start Over...
Kids can really test you. They test your patience. They test what you will tolerate. I have learned that they aren’t intune with their emotions like adults. Even though adults still have a lot of learning to do.
I try not to yell. I try to remain calm and even put myself in their shoes.
I started to change my approach. When they are rude and not polite or aggressive I say stop. I ask them to walk out of the room and walk back in. Let’s start over.
I swear they change. That quick 10 seconds of calmness has them rethink and re approach the situation differently.
Adults we should do this too. Instead of fighting Say let’s start over. Walk out of the room and walk back in.
Some examples are when they come over and say mom get me water. I say please re approach me. They then say mom can I please have a water. Sure babe no problem.
We need to be intune with our demands, our discussions how we feel what makes us mad what we need and aren’t getting. The list goes on. Instead of barking orders or demands or being aggressive start over. Walk out of the room and start over.
Not Every Relationship or Marriage Lasts Forever
“Most relationships do not ‘fail’ they merely reach their natural conclusion - our problems arise from expecting them to go on forever.” Book Relationship Manifesto
Just Go With It...Sort Of
No one knows what they are doing. No one has things figured out.
Do you feel better now?
