This is the section where we’ll be exploring ways of optimizing the stress in our lives. For starters, please let me know your reaction to this whole idea. Even if it’s “That’s the dumbest idea I ever heard in my life!” In that case, of course, it would help if you were a bit more specific.
Thanks!
Wonderful help!!! My husband doesn’t give me a simple yes or no (or let me think about it) to any question. He says there are too many variables to say yes or no. Case in point: Our phone answering machine cut the rings off at 2 and then didn’t take a message.
I asked him if he could disconnect the thing, because when I got to the phone just after 2 rings nobody was there. He told me about circuits & blah,blah that I didn’t understand.
i.e. He was trying to understand why the ans. machine didn’t work. He didn’t anwer MY question. (YES OR NO.) Turns out the downstairs phone ans. machine (which he thought was disconnected—wasn’t) connected which made the upstairs phone ans. machine think that someone had picked up the phone, so it didn’t record. I can only handle yes or no answers. I’m trying to train him to say, I’LL LET YOU KNOW LATER, if not yes or no.
Thanks for submitting a comment, Cynthia. I’ll write my next post about this. But first I’ll add the Traits of Stress-Hardy People to the website. We’ll be talking about them a lot.
If husband agrees with me, he says nothing. Often he disagrees. (difference of opinion)
Then it’s an argument; each trying to prove “I’m right”. We both can be right, but we fight for our point. I never argue with anyone, but my husband.
Thanks for the further comment. I’ve been thinking of you all afternoon/evening. I’ve made substantial changes to the second page of the site and added a tentative list of the Traits of Stress-Hardy People. This really is exciting stuff! Thanks so much for sharing.
Jean, I’m looking forward to watching you succeed with this site. It’s important for us to minimize the stress in our lives so we can reach our destined power.
Thanks, Carol. Doing this is a stretch for me, and I appreciate the encouragement.
