This is going to be short and sweet, because I am tired and need to go to bed soon.
So it’s exactly the perfect time for the lesson I learned just a little while ago from a good friend.
Serious, important and/or emotional discussions are best left for well rested moments. Moments when you have better control over your emotions, better use of vocabulary and more tact.
My poor friend broached something emotionally sensitive with her husband at an hour when they were both exhausted. It was a conversation that was a tough one even at the best of times. Needless to say the conversation late in the evening did not take a good turn and she was left really upset after getting into a fight with her husband.
So just remember, when you need to discuss something important or sensitive it’s not just the words you need to worry about, it’s also the time. For best results pick a time when both parties’ batteries are charged and well rested.
Have you ever had a conversation go downhill because of tiredness?
