Welcome to Day 2 of 31 Days of Mom Mojo – Tackling Time Management.
If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it. ~Anthony J. D’Angelo
I shared today on my Blog Talk Radio Audio Blog about how to stop our complaining and take back control over situations that frustrate us. I shared several questions that are helpful when trying to change our behavior:
1. Is there anything I can do about this situation or is it out of my control?
2. What do I want instead – what is my preferred situation?
3. What am I grateful for?
4. How can I avoid this type of situation in the future?
5. Can I change what I am doing to help the situation?
Consider these questions when you are faced with a frustrating situation, especially regarding time issues and see how you can re-focus your energy to producing a positive result.
You can also listen live Tuesday mornings at 8 AM Pacific time or subscribe through itunes, so you won’t miss an episode.
Enjoy!
I also need to pass on a great deal available for three days only–as well as offer you the opportunity to help a mom in need – and we moms need to stick together!
It’s a fundraiser organized by my friend Mandi Ehman from Life Your Way.
Here’s Mandi’s story:
Shortly before midnight on September 9th, my friend Jenny called 911 because her husband Harold was behaving erratically. At the hospital, he was diagnosed with a serious brain infection and moved to the ICU, where he fell into a coma-like state.
On September 18th, Harold passed away despite everything the doctors had done for him.
As you can imagine, Jenny’s heart broke, and not just for herself, but for her five beautiful children as well, who hadn’t seen their dad in 10 days and won’t see him again this side of heaven.
I am blessed to be part of the same incredible Classical Conversations community as Jenny, and we’ve done our best to rally around Jenny throughout Harold’s illness and in the days since to try to share and help carry her heartache during this time. But I want – need – to do something to help her as she moves forward as well.
Because I know there are a million worthy causes asking for donations every day, I didn’t want to simply ask you for money. Instead, I asked some of my favorite bloggers to join me in creating a benefit sale for Jenny and her children.
