Anxiety Self HelpFind helpful information about anxiety.

How often do we see the bad things that occur in our life but neglect the good?

We see the empty glass of milk that our child has been left on the table. Then we fail to see the reality that all the milk was ingested and will be acting to improve their wellnes.

We see the little defects in a project that was constructed with love by our child but do not acknowledge the effort that was put into the end result.

Why do these things take place? How can it be that we continually damage the ones we love the most?

Some will say that it is because we are trying to help them. We’re just trying to protect them from the world that they will encounter down the road.

As for me, I would much rather receive the loving touch, listen to the heartfelt laughter or view the adoring glance than the ‘constructive criticism’.

It may be suggested that without this tough training we would certainly fail when we enter the cold cruel world.

But, isn’t it better to know that you have a safe place to retire to when the going gets rough than to be hesitant to ask your loved ones for help?

Here are a few suggestions that will help you produce a safe environment for your loved ones: 1. Use a pleased tone of voice when receiving a phone call from your partner, as opposed to an aggravated tone or a rushed pace that implied the partner’s call has disrupted important tasks (and inferring that they are less important) 2. Inquire about the dentist appointments or other details of the other person’s day 3. Put down the remote control, newspaper, or telephone when the other partner comes thru the door 4. Arriving home at the anticipated time – or at least calling if there is a delay

What these things will do is help you teach the other person that they are important to you. That they do matter.

All this boils down to is the fact that we need to honor our loved ones doing something good each and every day. There are forever individuals out there waiting to tell them when and how they messed up.

If we abide by Mohandas Gandhi’s statement, ‘Be the change that you want to see in the world’, our world will get a little bit better each day.
