Create Your Now with Kristianne Wargo

"Finding balance as a family is like constructing a beautiful mosaic - each unique piece comes together to create a masterpiece of harmony." - Kristianne Wargo
What does your family look like today?
Are things calm, or is it more of a roller coaster of feelings with everyone walking on eggshells?
The K.I.S.S. ~ Check the chaos at the door!
Balancing competing demands and finding harmony as a family can be challenging, but here are some strategies to help:
1. Establish Priorities: Identify what matters most to your family and allocate time and attention accordingly. As author Stephen Covey once said, "The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities."
2. Set Boundaries: Establish boundaries for work, school, and personal time to ensure each family member gets the attention they need.
3. Communicate Openly: Regular family meetings can help address concerns, share schedules, and ensure everyone's needs are considered. Family therapist Virginia Satir remarked, "We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth."
4. Quality Time: Make the most of your time together by engaging in meaningful activities and creating lasting memories. Dr. Seuss poignantly captured the essence of quality time with family, "Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory."
5. Self-Care: Encourage each family member to prioritize self-care activities that rejuvenate and re-energize them. You know how the flight attendant says, "Put on your oxygen mask first before assisting others." Taking care of yourself allows you to better care for your loved ones.
6. Delegate Responsibility: Distribute household chores and responsibilities among family members to lighten the load and promote teamwork.
7. Tech-Free Time: Designate periods without screens to focus on connecting and bonding as a family without distractions.
8. Flexibility: Be adaptable and willing to adjust schedules and plans as needed to accommodate unforeseen circumstances or individual needs. American film producer, screenwriter, and actor Michael Arndt noted, "Be so good they can't ignore you." Adaptability in the face of change helps to maintain equilibrium within the family.
9. Support System: Lean on extended family, friends, or support groups for assistance and guidance during busy or challenging times. Renowned educator and author Maria Montessori emphasized the importance of community support, "The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'"
10. Celebrate Achievements: Acknowledge and celebrate each other’s accomplishments, no matter how big or small, to foster a positive and supportive family dynamic.
In the intricate tapestry of family dynamics, each thread plays a crucial role in weaving together a harmonious and colorful life.
Remember, finding your calm center amidst the chaos is not about achieving perfection, it's not about things being all in there place and everyone happy. But more about embracing the journey and the growth that comes with it. When you are part of a family, you will be changed.
So check the chaos at the door and invite harmony to take its place in the heart of your family.
"Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"
