The concept I chose for this week is Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff. Just like how this concept can relate to healthy friendships, it can also be applied in family relationships. I thought this was a great concept to keep in mind because there are seldom times in our lives where we are able to control every little detail. This dynamic is certainly changed when we are in a large unit like a family. We must be able to see past little frustrations, quirks, habits, etc. that may be annoying to us and look at the bigger picture. Changing family members, like friends or partners, don’t really work. Rather, there should be a mutual understanding that those are habits that won’t likely change. They are our family and we want them in our lives and so that means overlooking minor things we are irritated by. It is also reasonable to think that although family members may do things that frustrate us, there are probably things that we do that frustrate them as well.
