Boundaries

How to keep healthy boundaries in your relationships

What is NOW........

is not necessarily what will be, what things look like on the outside is never what really is, as so much goes on behind the scenes, and what we can see from the outside or from our perspective is never the whole picture.

Miscommunication and misunderstandings cause so much pain between people every day. What we have to do is make an assesment of the situation, and make no judgements of it quickly, or take no actions quickly. How many times have we pushed that send now button and regretted it? How many times have we angrily texted or called someone and later regretted it?  How big a mop we need afterwards to clean up the mess we made because we were afraid, so we lashed out first.

 We ALL know how painful it is to have someone stop calling and or not return calls, it brings out the worst in us, it causes drama, that is not necessary. Know that our fears cause so much trouble and drama that could be avioded, so think carefully before you react fearfully,

Dear Joan:
I have been so guilty of jumping to the wrong conclusion in my life that now I take a full 24 hours to assess a situation before I jump on the bandwagon and spout off!  I was born with an Irish temper and a Native American ability to go on the war path!  So I try judiciously to watch my tongue.  Thank you for sharing this for we all need to heed our actions I believe.

I try to watch my tongue and my fingers :-)
It works better that way, if I can look at the situation from the perspective of others, it helps us deal with it in a less painful way.
It helps us understand that it is not always about us.
