What I learned as a wife, woman and mother

Repeating the samething over and over again can be very stressful because your basically telling someone something and after you have said it you expect a change or a different result from before.

What I learned?

I learned that the problem was not them and their listening skills. The problem was me for repeating it because I had to realize that because I said something over and over again did not mean I was going to get my way. I realized that those I had to keep repeating myself to simply just did not want to do it. After stating something make sure that you ask what will be done about it. Find out if everyone agrees, how it will be done, etc. That way you can make any necessary changes so that the task can be carried out. Never assume someone wants to do something. Most likely they don't because if they did then they would be doing it all along.

Afraid?...What I learned...

Sometimes its just fear from doing something different because you have been use to the same routine for years. Those that have children may even feel guilty for wanting to do things without the family.




The same way you created a habit/responsibility to begin with, you can do the same as your life changes. Children go off to college,or move out,so now your day to day schedule changes.

I'm a big fan of writing in a journal. Write what you would like to do and what you enjoy doing and take the steps to accomplishing them and create new daily habits and routines.



We all get a little anxiety of the unknown, but once you begin your new life, you will realize that now you can focus on you, which is..........A BEGINNING:)
