I’m fuming mad- of course I’ll yell! Anyway, that’s the only way he’ll finally shape up and listen to me!
Join Leah and gain a deeper understanding of how yelling produces short-term results but long-term resentments. It’s time to weigh it up- to yell or not to yell?
Leah’s Points To Ponder:
- Yelling might be effective, but it will backfire somehow. Those of us who are the type to yell, we need to plan the conversationbeforehand for a higher success rate.
- Instead of telling ourselves that we can’t help snapping, we need to empower ourselves and realize that half the battle is won simply because we have recognized and owned up to this!
- Choosing shalom(peace) instead of pouncing leads to blessing– guaranteed!
- If we do mess up and yell, apologizing immediatelyis the best remedy.
- We have zero control over what our husband does, so it’s pointless pointing the finger and saying, “he should,” rather we should take responsibility and do what we can to prevent.
- Tune in at 26:53 to hear how not distinguishing our true needs (as opposed to wants,) can lead to unnecessary angry feelings towards our husbands.
- Thinking about what outcome we’re hoping and what’s most important to us will keep us on track.
- Effective communication about what is causing us the anger or upset is essential. Listen in at 51:55 to hear how to affect the situation with effective communication!
