Frazzled ?
You know those days where things are getting done but just not fast enough and you think the world is going to fall on your head. What do you do?

Next time it happens try a change of scenery for a few minutes. Go for a walk up the road. If you can't leave the office, you can at least walk to the bathroom, or grab a glass of water, or take 10 deep breaths.

Doing something as simple as these actions will clear some space and suddenly everything will become easier. Try it now. Worked for me.

There is an Arabian Proverb that goes, "A promise is a cloud; fulfillment is rain."

Are you a cloud or the rain ? So do you promise things or do you get things done?

How many times do we get into a discussion with our partner, where we interrupt them with a "No", because we feel we have something important to get across! The major problem with this response is that it can escalate things into a heated argument, as it basically cancels out their entire point of view.

Remember the tip: "Listen to their position"

This week keep an eye on how many times you interrupt and say "no" in your conversations. Try something different, let your partner finish what they're saying, and acknowedge their position even if you disagree.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said, “Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.”

Scott Dixon is a perfect example of making magic happen by believing in himself and making others believe in him.

And you can too by knowing what you want and having the determination, focus and courage to go for it. Whatever you want believe in it and GO FOR IT!

It is said, "A man has three names: the name he inherits, the name his parents give him, and the name he makes for himself."

With our busy lifestyles , there's often not enough time to focus on the great things our partner brings to our life. In fact, we often only target the negative things that they say or do. Let's reverse this and follow the rule:

-- Catch them when they're good.

What this means is that you need to heap praise on your partner every time they do things that you like. The best way to remember this is to ask yourself on a daily basis, " What 2 things have they done today that I can praise them for?"
Then make sure you tell them before you go to sleep at night.

Try this today . It works for your work mates too.

I hear people often say relationships are complicated and difficult. Let's this evening with a different approach. Let's keep it simple and keep one rule in mind.

*Do things that bring your partner close*

That's right! We're talking about "putting the seat down", returning calls and texts, being punctual, complimenting your partner, bathing the kids, turning the tv off for a night!

So for all of you out there that are in trying to get your relationship moving in the right direction, constantly ask yourself this week - do my actions bring my partner close or push them away? If it turns them off - stop doing it.

W. Clement Stone said, "There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a BIG difference. The little difference is attitude. The BIG difference is whether it is positive or negative."

Whatever your attitude is now is making a big difference to your day.

Make it a positive one.
