The first 5 minutes(DW#23)
Ever had "one of those days" when everything seemed to go wrong? For the next few days we will be exploring how NOT to make "one of those days" even worse!
So you have had a hard day and are at the end of your rope. You are cranky and irritable. It is nearly time for you to meet the significant others in your life.
You are itching to "have it out" with them or just to "let it all out".
Or you want to retreat into your cave without so much as a greeting.
Consider this:
The first few minutes of the interaction after you have been away from each other sets the tone for the rest of the evening.
If you can just hold it together for just for a few more minutes and greet your loved ones in a loving way, the effort will be worth your while.
It is much more productive to have a de-stressing conversation about the day's stresses after the family has connected in a positive way.
