Your relationship is coming apart and you’re stressed out. You realize that sooner or later you will have to face your children and let them know what’s really going on between you and your spouse. Here’s what we advise parents who are separating or contemplating divorce:

If you’re at the point where you need to tell the children about divorce and future separation from your spouse, keep these ideas in mind during your first few conversations with the kids:

• Have both parents tell the child(ren) together;

• All children need to be told at the same time whenever possible;

• Offer clear, honest explanations. Avoid elaborate details of your marital problems (ie. Affairs, sexual problems);

• It’s best to present divorce as a serious decision made after considerable thought, but with sadness, reluctance and sorrow for the pain it causes the child;

• Focus on what will happen to each child. As best as possible describe basic changes (ie. living arrangements, financial changes, time spent with the other parent) and reassuring the children that they are loved very much and it is not their fault that you are divorcing or separating;

• Know before you talk with the children what will happen next. Children need concrete details-where will they live, when will they see each parent, and where they will go to school;

• Assure your child he or she will be told of all major developments and changes; However do not show your child court papers or give them a play by play of your situation;

• Extend an invitation to your child to make suggestions that will be considered.
• Encourage the children to speak their mind about the situation so that you can address their concerns;

• Stress that your child is not responsible for the divorce, but that this is an issue between the adults;

• Reassure your child that the divorce does not weaken the bond between the parent and the child;

• Reassure your child that they are loved;
• Reassure your child that you are not divorcing the child;

• Reassure your child that you are still a family;

• Reassure your child that mommy and daddy still love each other as parents but are having problems right now;

• Give your child permission to love both parents;

• Give your child a time frame of the divorce and expected changes;

• Do not talk ill of your spouse, keep your comments to your therapist or friends. Remember that your ex spouse is also the other parent of your children;

• Give your child clear sense of an established place in each parent’s home (ie. their own room, place for toys, toiletries).

Okay so this isn’t really an article but it is an ad for a book that I am promoting through a program called Low Stress Income. The name of the ebook/manual is Investing in You – Beyond the Power of Positive Thinking.

Anyway, here is the sales copy for the manual:

Have you struggled to get the things you want in life?

Have you purchased endless courses and tape sets to learn how to be effective?

We all have.

But are they working for you?

I’m willing to bet that you may have seen some results but the programs failed to deliver the big promises
they made.

This is because some of these guru’s are successful but just aren’t good teachers!

What does this mean?

These guru’s may have achieved incredible results themselves but they just don’t know how to bring out everything that they did to get there in their courses.

Maybe they aren’t intentionally hiding anything from you but there are things that happen in their unconscious mind that bring them the results they get.

I can show you the unconscious secret that they can’t show you:

Proverbs 23:7 states: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he.

This is not your typical article about the Law of Attraction as this is about how the things that cause happiness or unhappiness, positive thoughts and results or negative thoughts and results affect our lives and who we are. Before you can apply the Law of Attraction you must break out of negative thought patterns.
This blog post is about mind-sets and how these mind-sets affect our way of living either positively or negatively.

According to the thefreedictionary.com a mind·set or mind-set  is:

1. A fixed mental attitude or disposition that predetermines a person’s responses to and interpretations of situations.
2. An inclination or a habit.

If your mind is cluttered with unorganized thoughts it is likely that your living or personal work space is cluttered. If you visualize positive outcomes to situations then most likely you will enjoy the physical aspects of those outcomes.

If you have people in our life who are always complaining and arguing and bringing their negativity to you it is quite possible that their mind-set will affect yours. Although it may be difficult and something that you don’t want to do, it may be best to distance yourself from those people who bring you down, at least until such time that their attitudes have less or no affect on yours.

Life consists in what a man is thinking of all day. – Ralph Waldo Emerson

ANTs is an acronym that stands for Automatic Negative Thoughts. If my research is correct and feel free to let me know if it isn’t, the terminology was coined by stress researcher and Viennese physician Dr. Hans Selye.
A simple approach to break away from such thinking is as follows: First, NOTICE that you’re trapped in the vicious cycle of automatic negative thinking (ANTs). Then, decide to BREAK THE CYCLE by using a “thought stopping” statement Finally, find something to DO that takes your concentration, interest, and focus AWAY FROM those old negative, vicious-cycle thoughts. (Thanks to http://www.anxietynetwork.com/hstop.html)

Here are the tell-tale signs of ANTs:
Automatic
* You don’t decide to think them. They are like a habit so it may be hard to not think them.

Negative
* They make you feel bad about yourself. For example, “I’m useless”.

Believable
*They will seem true and you may accept them as facts. They are often biased and distorted by your mood.

It is important to catch these thoughts so that you may stop them:

Use your feelings as a cue.
If you ever notice a sudden downturn in your mood, try to identify the thought that caused it

Watch out for events that make you sad
If there is a particular event that often leaves you feeling low, ask yourself why. See if you can isolate any thoughts you had that made you feel bad.

If you would like to break away from self-defeating thinking and developing new ways of dealing with life and getting the things that you want you must realize the following:

The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind. -Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

So change your state of mind, that is your mind-set and you will change your life.
