What do I do?
Initially I had planned on writing an organized blog in sequential order – but this blog is coming from my heart and my knowledge so it is impossible for me to present sequentially as my life is not sequential at all. I am quite organized, but when it comes to emotions, that organization goes out the window!
So I will present this as my emotions tell me to – and keep my readers in suspense!
What do I do? This question is one that you will ask yourself daily, hourly or by the minute…
This question also applies to so many subjects that you may consider – so for the purpose of sharing this information with you, I am going to present an outline that can at least be used as a starting point for most decisions. Otherwise this blog would be a book…..
Well – I always go back to the basics – I wish that others would do the same, but sometimes it seems that today’s society – we have forgotten the basics. Technology has taken over our world. The basics for decision making are the “WH” questions.
What are your options? (ASK or research) What does your research tell you? What does your GUT tell you?(this is the one I follow the most)
What is the potential result? What progress did we make?
How do I get information? (ASK or research) How will my actions affect child? How do I get this to happen? How do I know if it right? How do I find the proper people?
Where do I start? (ASK or research) Where do I begin? Where do I go for help or advice? Where do I turn next?
Who can help me? (ASK or research) Who can provide this service? Who do I trust? Who has my best interests at heart?
When do I ask questions? When do I do research? When do I ask for help? When do I search for other options? NOW
Why do I ask for information? Why do I research? Why do I talk to others about it? Why do others disagree? Why are people hurtful? (because they are ignorant)
How – this is the hardest! How do I get out of bed? How do I face my day? How do I do all of this? How do I become assertive? (I tend to use a different word than assertive and it starts with a b) How do I handle strangers? How do I handle my child? How do I work on behavior, language, motor skills, etc…..
HOW HOW HOW
One step at a time….. first is to kick off the blankets…..
I am still asking these questions regularly – even when I go downstairs and forgot why I went there….
Today I asked myself many questions – what is the law? How do I feel? How does my son feel? What does he need? What is wrong here? How do I make it right? Who will help me make it right? What documents do I need to gather? When am I ever going to fit that into my schedule?
You see there is a basic outline here …… and one question you need to ask yourself daily: What did I accomplish today and recognize your accomplishments
(This task has taken me years of therapy to actually accept – and I STILL need to remind myself – sticky notes help)
and the mirror helps – practice in front of it – that is called visual memory – which is for another day – (Ever hear someone say “I can see it in my head”) PRACTICE
