This heatwave = too HOT for me. We can’t change the heatwave but we can influence the weather in our relationships. If you come into contact with your partner / kids / friends / work mates with an air of tiredness, moaning or grumpiness, what impact do you think it will have on how you are together? Not good huh? You’re unlikely to have a joyful time together. By becoming aware of how you are feeling before meeting up, whether that’s at home or out, you can then choose to change it. If I want a fun evening I choose to show up in a fun mood. If I want a chilled out Saturday I consciously choose, and remind myself, to be relaxed and let things happen. If I feel tired I try to energise myself physically and emotionally – loud music helps me! We all have the ability and power to change the atmosphere of any engagement – we just have to be intentional about it. Go forth and change your personal weather my lovelies, you don’t have to sweat it out.
