Family ReflectionWhat will you remember most from 2012? Gather your family members and look back over the past 12 months, four seasons, birthdays, holidays, and other significant life events.

What were the happiest moments? What difficulties did you overcome? Did you master a skill?

Reflecting on our experiences gives us a chance to look at what worked and why.  Similarly, it can be of great benefit to look at what didn’t go well and why. Then take it one step further, and consider what you would do different if you were faced with that same situation again in the future.

Look at what you lost and what you gained. Grieve your losses and disappointments and leave them behind. Be grateful for all that you have and all that you are, and take that into 2013.

Love, Health & Happiness,

Phyllis

When was the last time you felt someone give you their undivided attention? Our lives, and especially the lives of children today, are so busy, filled with things to do and places to be, that we rarely stop long enough to acknowledge each other, yet alone take the time to really listen.

Here are some suggestions to increase connections with people of all ages who matter to you:

1. Make eye-contact.

2. Stop what you are doing long enough to be present.

3. Schedule some one-on-one time to talk, laugh, play and have fun.

4. Give your full attention to the other person so that they may feel seen and heard.

5. Listen with interest.

6. Be curious and ask questions.

7. Put judgments aside.

8. Reply with kindness, encouragement or something positive.

9. Share your happiest moments of the day with each other.

Love, Health & Happiness,

Phyllis
