What if you folded the clothes and she frowned? Would you stop folding clothes even though it's the right thing to do?

When you fold the clothes, fold the clothes - everything else is just fluff (ie: thinking, I wonder what she will think of me folding these clothes; what if I put the clothes away where they don't go will she get mad; if I do more chores she will like me better, etc... these are all elements of attempting to control the uncontrollable)

Don't do with an expectation of getting some event to happen. Do because it's the right thing to do.


Steady, that's just about the best way I've ever seen it phrased on here. whistle
