Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard.
Obesity is hard. Fit is hard. Choose your hard.
Being in debt is hard. Being financially disciplined is hard. Choose your hard.
Communication is hard. Not communicating is hard. Choose your hard.
Life will never be easy. It will always be hard. But we can choose our hard.
Choose wisely.

Very interesting indeed. Communication stands out to me. I don’t know about you, but I learned nothing about conflict resolution from my family of origin or anywhere else for that matter. I did, however, learn a brilliant new way of clearing tension from an ex of mine. I had a tendency to clam up and sulk, which is so unhelpful. Rather that sitting in this dense air, my ex would invite me to share my thoughts, feelings and experience and then he would ask me what I needed and wanted in that moment. Wow. It was so kind and simple. This experience taught me how to invite discussion and taught me to be open to making and hearing requests. I’m so glad I learned how to do this before meeting the love of my life. My perfect partner and I have enjoyed a lot of peace and joy because of these new found relationship skills. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO
Blessings,
