1. Take something to a neighbor or friend in need spend sometime talking with them and try to help brighten their day. Write down how you feel doing that. Then take an hour and do something for yourself. Write down how you feel doing that. Make sure in both writings that you really analyze how it makes you feel. How do both affect the way you treat those around you, etc. Compare the two entries, and then write down what you have learned through the comparison.
2. Find a time when your child is playing and go sit with them and play, but on their terms. Let them dictate how the playing goes, and what they want to do. Take time to reflect on new things you learned about your child, and the changes in playing that way.
3. Plan a whole evening around the things your husband likes to do. Maybe what he likes to eat, a sports game. Really take part in those things with him, and find the joy that comes to the both of you by doing that.
4. Try to go one whole day without any thoughts turned inwards, just think and do for others. (Go ahead, and take a shower though!) That means to also try and push away any feelings that are selfish, or angry. Try to even see the others point of view and listen to them. At the end of the day when you lay down in bed, write down what you learned.
5. Write down the things you like to do. (hobbies, outlets, etc.) Figure out, how they can become a part of the family, or how doing those things connects to the family. Try to see your life as one big whole, and try to find the ways all these things tie together for your journey.
Yours truly,
