Busy Mums

Do What you always do and Get what you always got?

If you are tearing your hair out with the weather and the kids are already driving you potty then you might want to try doing something different.

When life isn't going smoothly it can be really easy to grumble and moan about everything that is going wrong, or getting on your nerves, but never actually doing anything about it. (And then guess what things get even worse).

I know I am guilty of this sometimes. Sometimes it is because we are stuck and just can not decide on the best course of action to take. Sometimes it is just because we quite enjoying doing the victim thing.

Often we will seek the advice and support of friends who will share their solutions and observations of the situation, which we then completely ignore and carry on talking about our latest problem.

And if you are the one on the receiving end of the grumbling, how frustrating is that!

Perspective and objectivity is a great thing and we all possess it but not about ourselves.

So if something is getting you down or irritating you try taking a step back and tackling the problem in a different way.

Still stuck - then talk to a friend or a close family member and ask how they see the problem.

Listen to what they say and rather than disregard it with the familiar yes...... but.....syndrome, see how perhaps you can take some, or all of their wise words and use it.

You never know you might not get what you have always got but something different and a lot better.

Now I am off to take my own advice.
