Do you struggle with people frequently letting you down and stressing you out? Do you secretly wish they would just do what you want and act like you would act? I used to say that I would really love my job if it weren't for the people. Rest assured that your reaction is completely normal and whether conscious or not, it is how most of us respond to situations that involve others. So while you belong to a huge club...the club where we as humans want people to be like us and not stress us out...the truth is that the only one we can control is the one who stares at us in the mirror...and that includes our children. We cannot control the actions, emotions, intentions, or desires of others. All we can control is our actions, intentions, and desires. So then, how do we reduce the stress and live more peacefully...especially at home? Isn't "home" supposed to be our haven? Yet so many times "home" is where we fight with our kids, where we feel the exhaustion from giving so much at work, where we long for one night peace and really enjoy our children instead of running here and there.
