Helping Raise Responsible Kids Since 1977™ You Can Do It! Weekly Tip from the Love and Logic® Experts Dear Andrea, Do you ever feel discouraged because you're having a tough time remembering to use a Love and Logic skill? Does it make you feel any better to know that I experience the very same challenge? Experiencing setbacks doesn't mean failure. It simply means that the road to personal change is always under construction. You can be successful…as long as you remember the following: Take it slow. The most successful people experiment with one skill at a time. Focus on the controllable. We're far more successful when we focus on our own behavior rather than on the behavior of other people. For example, we can't make our kids behave respectfully. We can control whether we say, "I'll be happy to do the extra things I do for you when I feel respected." Don't be surprised when others don't thank you for changing. When we change…even for the better…it typically leaves others a bit off balance. Their natural human tendency will be to get you back to your old way by complaining, arguing, or acting out. Don't let this scare you. They'll just need some time to get used to you and your new Love and Logic skills. Don't look back. Unsuccessful people focus on trying to stop doing what they've done in the past. Successful ones focus on doing what they want to do in the future. For example, instead of saying to yourself, "I'm not going to get angry anymore," say to yourself, "I'm going to say 'I make better decisions when I'm calm. We'll talk later.'" A great way to stay focused on the future is to listen repeatedly to Love and Logic audios. Our Love and Logic Speed-E-Solutions a re a very economical way to start. You only fail if you give up.
