Have you ever felt annoyed by your kids or spouse to a point where a minor trigger that you would normally brush off, becomes a major episode? Have you ever tried to backtrack to see how you got to that point? Were all the exchanges leading up to that point ones that were positive or negative? Were you feeling extra close and loved that week by your spouse or were you both running on fumes and just passing each other by? Or worse, just critical about every little thing? Were you creating good memories with the kids or just barking orders at them all day? Our relationships are fed by us, kind of an emotional currency and we can choose to make positive or negative deposits in them everyday. The more positive ones we make, the stronger that relationship becomes and can withstand any negative forces that may crop up. I’ve noticed with the kids especially, if I haven’t been really paying attention to them, not the fake kind of just nodding my head along, they start acting up and can become more quarrelsome. This reminder is more for myself than anyone else, but try to put your thoughts and distractions away and really try to connect with your family and make those positive deposits in your emotional bank accounts today.
