Attitude Shift

It’s not criticism, it’s just feedback…

People react differently when it comes to criticism. One of my students said it best, “I don’t care even if it is constructive criticism; there is nothing good about being criticized!” It is often very difficult to react positively when someone whom you love, or whom you are working for, gives you some good ole fashion criticism. That’s why it is important to shift your attitude when it comes to criticism and see it as nothing more than feedback or input to help you be more successful.

Say it with me… It is not criticism (ATTITUDE SHIFT) it is just feedback.

Is your family’s laundry an albatross around your neck?

When and if you venture into your kids’ rooms, do you see a sea of clothing, wet moldy towels, science experiments growing on and around your beautiful set of kitchen dishes?

Is it so horrifying that you would rather watch a the latest Stephen King film, than open that door?

And to top it off, do you have to beg, threaten and coerce to get your kids to hand over their dirty clothing so that YOU can wash them? Once you give it back, neatly folded, stacked and “clean”, does it join the ranks of crumpled and moldy before your child has put it on?

Did you know that you can solve this problem by outsourcing? And it won’t cost you a penny!

Here’s how to do it:

•Purchase two laundry baskets for each child: one white and one other color and place inside their rooms.

• Write out easy to understand instructions for your laundry machine and dryer and tape them to the front of your machines.
