Change The Little Things
by Lorn Adkins
What do all of the following have in common: The Minuet in “G”, The One Minute Dad/Mom, Virtual Exercise/The Five Minute Exercise Plan, and Fake It?
Maybe I’ll stretch the analogies so far out of shape that they’ll be unrecognizable from their original intent. During our personal stressful times, it seems easy to just avoid trying and just accept the fact that there is nothing we can do to change the present, unpleasant reality. We don’t like it, but we don’t have the time, the energy, the resources, or the problem is just too big for “little ol’ me” to make any difference. So, I’ll sit here and believe that nothing will or can change. In “The Music Man” the Music Man said, they didn’t have music, or instruments, or a teacher who could teach the band. Just imagine playing every note of the minuet and guess what happened? Virtual exercise, it appears from research can have real physical world benefits. True. You don’t see your children like you once did so what can you do with five minutes or one minute. You can’t go to the gym either, but if you really exercised for five minutes would it make a difference? Research suggests that it does. Oh, and yeah about the “Fake It.” Let’s imagine that you’ve just had a major disappointment. Would it help to keep your belief system mindfully positive to help improve your performance now? A few local coaches believe that it is very important.
Okay, this is it. Use the time you have to effect the change you want and imagining and believing the way you want to be in the world can get positive change started. A twelve year old reminded me that I don’t live in his unfair world. True. And I know there is real hurt and unfairness. But change just two little things and you may just rock your world.

On The Same Page: The Best One Day Parenting Workshop Around

workshop presented by Lorn Adkins, LCPC, LMFT
Saturday, 9:00am – 3:00pm
Registration cost: $75 individual/ $150 couples*

Parenting is our most important job of which we have no training. Also, we need to parent with a person who comes from a different background and has a different set of experiences and beliefs for being a parent. This workshop provides an enthusiastic blue print for getting on the same page. We will cover everything from communication and consequences to irrational beliefs and family meetings. Mostly, this workshop helps create a direction to follow with mutual understanding and mutual respect. Contact Heather @ 385-0888 for further details.
