Wednesday Woes?
How's everyone's Wednesday starting off? Any woes you'd like to share?
Surprisingly, mine is okay so far. Four of the higher ups (and the more annoying ppl I work with) are gone starting today through the rest of the week at a convention, so yay for that! So other than the fact that I don't really want to be at work, so far so good, but its still early!
Hope ya'll have a wonderful day!!
Re: Wednesday Woes?
It happens to the best of us. H & I are the same way w/ being stubborn. I hope it works out for you guys.
I have a weird thing I do with my H when we get into one of those spots where neither of us is feeling great about something -
I set a deadline, and then I tell him what it is. Example: "At 1:15, I am done being mad about this. I am not conceding to being right or wrong, I am just stating that as an adult, I should be able to handle differing viewpoints a little bit better than I am right now. So I'm giving myself until 1:15 to get all my mad out of my system, and then I'm going to start being nice to you again. If you don't have your mad out of your system by then, that's okay, but I'm no longer playing along with the 'mad about X' scenario after 1:15." Usually works like a charm.
I've also done a thing where I switch the 'what' of the argument to the 'why' of an argument. Then I apply it to both of us. 'Why is it more important to me that I be right about this, than he be right about this? Why do I feel passionately about this?' and then ask him 'Why is it important to you to be right about this? Why are you passionate about this topic?' If either of you answers 'I'm not or it isn't'. Then that immediately gets followed up with 'Then it isn't really important that we disagree on this, is it? We don't have to feel the same way about everything.' On the other hand, it also gives both of you a chance to hear the others reasoning - and discover maybe whose reasoning is stronger.
