Change
You’ve all heard the expression “If you keep on doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep on getting what you’ve always got”
.. so DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT!
If every morning you wake up and hope that your difficult person is going to “get it” today, you aren’t doing anything different.
Try a new behavior pattern (something different) three times. If it is working (ie they are not being so difficult) then keep on taking that approach until it isn’t working anymore! If you are not getting what you want after you’ve tried a new approach three times, change the approach. Try again.
Keep doing something different.
Good luck and stay on-the-right-track this week.
