Chores

Things were a mess at home. I was blaming my husband for not doing a better job at the things we agreed would be his responsibility.

After our Pathways to Leadership session, I started applying several tools. First I made the change in myself to focus on the forward side of the Energy Circle. I asked: What is going right? What is being accomplished?

It changed my attitude to become more positive rather than complaining. And that, in turn, has set the tone of our household. Everyone is more willing to do tasks when acknowledged for what they've done.

We also discussed what each of us was feeling. We asked what we could do differently. We have acted on the answers and made changes to accommodate both of us.

Result -- we have a happier home and both of us are more satisfied with the tasks and outcomes.
