Family Time is Great, But Date Nights Are Needed

When Mike and I first started our relationship, we were inseparable and always enjoyed each other’s company. We’d always go out to eat together ( we immediately made the connection that we both loved food! ), and we had long enjoyable conversations about anything and everything. I still laugh whenever I think about one of the very first dates we had. I had invited him to go with me to the AMA’s, and this would be the first time we would be in the car together for over an hour drive before arriving at the Nokia Theater. I was concerned ( more like freaking out ) about what we would talk about the whole way there. I mean, that was a long drive! What if we had nothing to talk about? What if it became awkward? I don’t handle awkward very well! If this turned out to be a disaster…

The pain Of Expressing Our Needs Versus Not Expressing Our Needs
Better relationship, Better Relationships, communication, life style, self improvement
Most of us has not t been taught on how to express our needs also most of us has never been taught to think in terms of our needs , I can recall many time that i think a friend or my mom should automatically understand my needs and when she doesnt i have a build of anger compounded inside me . .
As i started learning how to communicate , things get easier thou im a very direct person in term of saying what i need but this time around without violent . Most times when we talk about what we need rather than want , we tend to get what we want . There is a huge different between needs and making a request .

Validation has become the lifeblood of our social media infested society. Almost everyone has the thirst. It is as if we can not live without a constant reminder from an outside source that we are meeting society’s high standards of ideal living. The problem with this is more often than not we are forgetting that in order to receive validation we must first give it.
I am guilty of passing over a Facebook friend’s impressive post merely because I am too dismissive to stop and validate them. Imagine if I took the time to celebrate every victory I came across. I mean truly feel excited for my neighbor’s accomplishment, leaving out envy and guilt. I think I would feel better about life and about myself. Promoting others is a profitable business. Once you give out validation, validation is given back to you and then some.

Happy or Right

I
read this old article in Psychology Today
entitled: “Would
you rather be right or would you rather be happy”
which discusses control and how you can be a slave to this need to control
things. It hurts you as well as those around you. It also includes a citation
from The Tao Te Ching, verses
74,
which I will paraphrase here:
Being in control is like trying to
take the master craftsman’s place: You take up his tools, you’ll probably get cut.
OK.
Trying to control things is bad,
yes; and hurting others, even if unintentional, is bad, too—Of Course. But my problem, with the article at least,
is that the narrative running through the text is about a husband who wants to be right and a wife who will
not back down. He is the heavy in this situation, illustrated perfectly by
their going…
