Have you found yourself stuck on things you want to change whether in your personal life or your family life and it just seems to be passed down from one generation to the next? It could be the consequence of the sins of a father or maybe it is simple as a trait that seemingly holds you back.
I have a trait that I will share and some secret ones I am still working on but this is the month it all coming at me at once so now it the time to buckle down. Our family has problems communicating. Plans are made on half the info and then we wonder how things could go so wrong. I have thought about this and still have no easy solution. Breaking bad habits is not the way to change rather making good habits is.
A good habit that I started last year was having a Barbarian Night in August. Some things happened that I was not in the right frame of mind to make it happen this year. So I am going to try something at Thanksgiving. After Daddy prays I am going to have every one volunteer a sentence of what they are especially thankful for this year. This is good communication and insight into each person's life journey. What better way to enable us to have empathy for our family members' dreams? Then at Christmas ask everyone to share a Christmas wish for the up coming year. Or maybe mix it up a bit...
I am still thinking. Games are not well loved by all in my household so that is an out. But I am still thinking so maybe I can come up with some ideas for good communication without it feeling like medicine.
