We all have things that we recognize in ourselves that could use some change and/or some fine tuning. Sometimes it is a behavior that we know we should change, or sometimes it is a habit that we need to work on getting rid of.
Change starts and ends with you. Change is about making a choice. You can blame your behavior on someone else or something else, but at the end of the day, it is all about how you handle what you are given.
Maybe you are in a bad relationship, or your family is not helping you care for your parents. When we are aggravated, we tend to blame our behavior on things that are handy. It is easier to tell someone that their behavior “makes us act this way,” than take responsibility for our own behavior.
Well, the reality is that no one “makes us” act a certain way. It is our reaction to their behavior that we need to change, and that is totally under our control.
Decide to change some behavior that creates friction. Decide that you are better than the person or situation that you are reacting to. You can create less drama….by changing your reaction to it. Try it. Let me know what happens. “Now let’s get going!” xo Sally
