Simplify your routine, you’ll know when it’s time to mix things up for shining old age. We all know what it is like to have people in our lives who irritate us and we prefer to avoid them. Maybe we can’t understand why we feel the way we do about them, and we are upset with ourselves for always reacting as we do to them. How can we understand our responses to them and how can we understand where the feelings come from that create these reactions in us? Each of us has developed a set of values that determine how we think and feel about life, including right and wrong behaviours and attitudes. When we see other’s doing things or saying things that are outside our parameters of acceptable behaviour we tend to react and respond, usually in a negative way.
Always no reaction |
People who live together in the same house, sometimes experience relationship issues when one of the partners expects certain behaviours but the other doesn’t see them as important. Instead of reacting to the other person’s concept of the world and behaviours, we need to learn how to accept and even appreciate the differences. As we do this we give the gift of unconditional acceptance to the other person, whilst helping to reduce the frustration and anger of our own attitudes to the situation. Of course, there are unacceptable behaviours that no one should accept (domestic violence for example) but most things that irritate us about others are really the product of our own personal thoughts and not based on anything of importance except to ourselves. We cannot always control our reactions to others behaviours that create frustration in us, but we can learn to control the way we see and respond to them.
