Episode 65: Exacerbated Issues

So often we exacerbate issues by making a circumstance worse than it really is simply by layering on so much more to the facts than necessary. This causes a situation to be heavier, harder and more difficult than it needs to be. When we react to these exacerbations we say things that are unkind and accusatory because we are feeling angry, disrespected, hurt or rejected for something that may not be true. The result of this is distance between you and your spouse, more exacerbated issues and a never ending cycle of hurt and pain.

I want to share with you some practical ways to end this cycle by offering you some ways to think about these situations differently. Once you can shift the way you view a situation that causes you to feel so much hurt, stress, frustration and aggravation just imagine what that can open you up to experience instead such as ease, peace and relaxation.  

If you find that you can use my help maintain a more productive mindset in this area, please contact me for a free 1 hour consultation at https://drchavonne.com/work-with-me. I am here to help you grow your thinking and create more effective and better solutions that work for you.
