We can do this together!
| How are you doing today? We’re already in March, almost in April even, and the year is in full swing. How are you doing on those goals you set up for yourself? How is your partner doing on the same goals? Did you read that correctly? Yes, of course you made goals/resolutions together to accomplish this year, right? |
| Well, if you’re reading this and thinking, umm, nope, I didn’t think about this before… no worries, let’s start to think about it now and figure out what goals/resolutions you should do together. |
| Spending time together How are you doing with this one? Are you making time for each other? Are you putting your relationship somewhat on the top list of things to do? If not, that’s okay, let’s say at least an hour a day or one date night a week for now. Parenting Are you two aligned on parenting? This is always a struggle for sure but an important goal to have when you’re trying to stay sane! Work on what this means for you and how you will accomplish your goals with parenting. Nutrient Gosh, there are so many different eating plans out there now. Which one are you on? Are you both aligned how you’re eating? It helps out a lot to have a partner in crime if say you’re doing intermittent fasting and you’re trying to fast and still do everything else. Yes, you can reach out to others but that’s not the point of joining. Do it together and see how you can support each other. Exercise Was this on your goal list for the year? How are you doing with it? Are you both on the same page as far as exercise is going? At least are you in the same chapter? If not, let’s work on it. Support each other and try to boost each other up. Careers Whether you both work or if one of you works and other stays at home, there’s a balance that always needs to be in place. Are you supportive in your roles together? Are you feeling as your partner has your back? Talk about this and see where you are. I’m hoping the answer is YES. There isn’t much else in this world if your partner doesn’t have your back. |
Yep, you can do this together!!!
| Yep, you can do this together!!!Thinking about changing something up in your life? Are you worried that your partner is not by your side? I use that word partner a lot and it has so many important meanings for sure. I would love to know how you support each other and what you do together to have each other’s back. |
Exercise time out
I had a very interesting conversation today and what else do you do with interesting conversations except blog about them. I have been hearing a lot of what I believe to be Mom’s trying to understand boys energy level and how they can get them to calm down. Do they really need to calm down? There are so many places where boys have to be calm, in school, restaurants and the list goes on but in those rare occasions that boys get to be boys they sometimes release all of their energy in one place and that might confuse or scare an adult watching them by saying they need to calm down.
I do not think they need to calm down and I think they need to be encouraged to get that energy out in the right place and time. In this conversation I had today, I came up with an exercise time-out. This is where you either suggest to your boy a few activities to do or they can come up with them by themselves depending on age and when the energy level gets too high and you can see the frustration starting to kick in, its time for an energy time-out. This can be as simple as running around the yard for 5 minutes, running up and down stairs if you have them or riding a bike. This time-out is designed to get the energy out before your boy does something with the anger. In time, they can help you figure out what they need and how they can get to do these exercise time outs. Make it fun and remember boys will be boys and they are full of energy. Lets work to get that energy out in a positive manner and help them learn something about themselves at the same time!
