Wise advice! Stress can also trigger vicious cycles in families.
Visitors might want to read “REDUCE STRESS–RECYCLE YOUR FAMILY!” appearing in installments at http://www.stressedfamily.blogspot.com. There’s a summary of the last three months’ posts in the November post. Or click the “September” link on the blog to read about overcoming cycles such as nagging/avoiding chores, where each person blames the other for causing a cycle that goes on and on, time after time, back and forth.
“If he did it the first time I ask, I wouldn’t have to nag.”
Versus: “If she didn’t nag, I would do it a lot quicker.”
The challenge is to blame the cycle, not each other. Get some ideas about switching to positive cycles of love and support.
Hope to see you at http://www.stressedfamily.blogspot.com. Or visit http://StressedFamily.com
Sincerely,
William R. Taylor, M.D.
