So are you a bit of control freak like me or do you just go with the flow? Common be honest! There is no right or wrong answer here, the idea is just to be aware of the way you are and the impact it can have on your family. Maybe it is not you, that is the control freak but someone else. Look we all have our own personality and little quirks, but in a relationship we need to be even more aware of the way we are and the impact it has on others. I’m not saying you should just roll over and become a rug – No not at all. Being flexible simply means allowing some things to happen even if we do not love the idea. Sometimes we just need to step back and watch it all unfold and go with the flow. At the same time, we balance this all out with making sure there are guidelines, rules, consequences and way things get done at home. A cool way to think of this is thinking about a river flowing from the mountains. The water will go with the shape and layout of the land, but even though it is so flexible and works with its environment, it is very powerful , focused and effective getting things done. So here’s my tip for you and having the Whole Family. Think about a couple of areas where you could be more flexible and speak with your partner about your ideas. Don’t go pointing out to them where you think they need to be flexible, cause that won’t go down too well. You’ll find when you discuss your area of growth, your partner will be more forthcoming too. Here’s to you living a fulfilling and abundant life with your Whole Family. XO Hayley
