Retreat

[Marylov]

Okay, I have identified five things I am going to work on;

1) Support those that matter to me, and have their back. I realized I would question my husband when he would say things that embarrassed me in front of others, when I felt like other people could tell that he was exaggerating. How horrible! I should always have his back, no matter what. Same thing goes for my family and friends. I should never say anything negative about them to others.
2) Stop keeping score with everyone. I was acting resentful towards him bc I felt like I was doing more than him in terms of caring for our daughter. I shouldn't be keeping score, and if I need help I need to ask for help!
3) Hold my tongue, and LISTEN when others are talking. Speaks for itself!
4) Be grateful and gracious to my family and friends for being there for me, instead of taking them for granted
5) Cherish and be present in the moment, especially with my daughter instead of going through the motions or being disconnected, ie on my phone.

I think if I make these behavioral changes, with everyone I interact with, I will be a better friend, family member, mother...and hopefully if given the chance...wife!!!
