You may not be the problem, but what about your environment? Today, I'll share some realistic household power struggles and subtle ways to address those issues without making a gigantic mess.
Reading this, I just kept thinking about all those family convos that go in circles where you’re talking but no one’s listening, just waiting to be right. It’s exhausting, and sometimes the only choice is to step away. ✨
My goodness, yes! I learned to go “mhmmm” after a while. However, my “active” humming is starting to let some folks in my family know I’m not listening or that I hear them, but not fully listening to what’s going on or being said. Your observation is beautiful (pretend I’m a magical garden fairy singing this from the depths of my soul) and I am with you with walking away. We have to preserve what’s left of us and our well-being so we have the energy, patience, and tolerance for ourselves and those who wants to listen to us (like our fur babies or tiny babies or plants 🤭🫶🏾).
