Pick and Choose those battles.

As I was lying in bed the other night and my mind started racing with a multitude of ideas and things to write about the one that stuck with me the most was how my husband made the bed.

When my husband makes the bed he puts the fitted sheet on and throws the comforter down. There is no fitted sheet it is not straight the pillows are not placed like a pretty picture and the blanket is not tucked in.

So as I lie there thinking about this I could not help but smile and laugh on the inside.

If this had been 10 years ago I would have been so irritated, frustrated, upset, and told him so. Which would have resulted in an argument and unkind words to each other.

As time has gone by and we both have grown in our communication with each other, we have learned to pick and choose our battles. Some things are just not worth giving in to the negative energy and tainting your aura.

This works if you have children as well. It took me a long time to realize the more upset I was and the more I harped on them to do it exactly my way was actually pushing them away from even doing the task at all.

As wives and mothers our plates can fill up very fast and we need those around us to help out when and where they can. Obviously, if they do not how to do said task you will need to show them and explain what the end result should be.

After you have handed off the task, you do not go behind them and "fix it" your way, as this will discourage them and they will not want to help you in the future. Remind yourself that this was 1,2, or 3 things off your plate and this gave you more time to rest, read, shower, workout, or whatever you chose to do in that extra time.

So even though my husband never makes the bed my way, I will still crawl into it with him to snuggle up and go to bed. He put a sheet on for us to lie on and a blanket for us to cover up with and that is all that really matters. He took something off my plate so we could spend more quality time together working on our relationship.

Remember... Pick those battles! Some are just not worth the energy. Don't waste it fighting over the little things when you can be using it for fun, loving, and nurturing energy for your soul!
