Take Patience with your love and yourself!
It is easy to get mad with a person you love, it is easy to take your feelings out on them and use harsh words. Love is not simple, love is not easy! It will test the depths of your compassion and bring you to your emotional limits. Remember to tread lightly . Some words easily spoken are almost impossible to take back !
If only it were easier. It takes two to tango, and sometimes the other party does not want to dance. The other party might not be able to help! They might be having problems of their own. So easily we can assume the other is O.K.and able to function, but this is not always the case. So easily we all forget to show compassion, to be kind, even when we are at our breaking point.
The best medicine is to breath. To slow down. To think and to speak softly. Maybe you need a moment. Tell them! "I need a moment... I'm upset. I don't want to fight, I love you." Or something you practice to break the tension. Breaking the tension in the air of any situation normally helps! Take a moment, breath, go take a shower, or just go to the fridge for some cold WATER. Not alcohol, alcohol has never helped a wound except in the E.R.! Cold water is refreshing and it relieves tension. Just like a hot shower it can lighten the mood and ease the tension!
Then go back and... with kindness and a new calm tell them what YOUR problems are and why you are upset. It will go a long way to helping you both. And if you were wrong or rude... Or mean. Apologies go a long way when they come from the heart.
On Second Thought and the For A Better Good Campaign are here to help you! To help you and me and all of us! We share everything positive! Work is slow... But help is here. We can change the world one smile at a time!
