Not “dramas” as in movies, TV shows, plays, etc that are serious in tone, but rather “drama” as in the petty ridiculous conflicts that get blown way out of proportion for no reason at all. Urban Dictionary has my favorite definition of this kind of drama: “making a big deal over something unnecessarily.” We’d like to believe that petty social drama ends the day we leave high school, but sadly, this is not the case. No matter how old they are, people can still find ways of adding unnecessary conflict to their relationships, be they at work, at home, or with friends. This is truly a shame, because drama increases stress, ruins relationships, and eats away at that one precious commodity none of us can afford to waste: time. If you want to stress less, have better re...

In a recent Wall Street Journal article, author Sue Shellenbarger talked to several wife-husband teams to determine what works and what doesn’t when your spouse is also your co-worker. Draw firm boundaries. Look at your spouse as your business partner during the work week, and your spouse after work. Know your roles. Clearly define the roles each of you take in the business. Otherwise, your management styles will clash. Divide and conquer. If you’re working long hours, there’s no reason for both of you to work 15-hour days. Split up the time. Recognize your strengths and weaknesses. If you ...

Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Don’t walk beside me, either. Just leave me alone.   There are two theories to arguing. Neither one works… It’s always darkest before dawn. So if you’re going to steal your neighbour’s newspaper, that’s the time to do it. Sex is like air. It’s not important unless you aren’t getting any. Don’t be irreplaceable. If you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted. No one is listening until you fart. Always remember you’re unique. Just like everyone else. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your he...

But in the interests of making sure you know the facts about marital (and long-term relationship) conflicts, I thought I’d say some of it again. This comes from the great self-help online book, Psychological Self-Help (the original one, not the bastardized version that appears elsewhere online). Many researchers (e.g., Christensen & Jacobson, 2000) believe that most marital differences and arguments are completely reconcilable. The problem lies in the fact that as marriages and relationships degrade into argument, they discussions are laced with criticism and unspoken expectations of one another. We expect the other person in the relationship to change, not our expectations of them (even thoug...

With another decade under my belt, I’d like to expand a little on the premise I put forward in that original article. Our Lives Are Our Choice At some point in our life, we may forget or give up the responsibility of directing our life to where we want it to go. We sometimes feel buffeted about by the forces of nature, relationships, family, children and more, and feel out of control of our own destinies. We forget to look deep within ourselves and remember who we really are and what really makes us happy and alive. We give that power up, to others, and then place the responsibility (and the blame) when they fail to “make us” happy. But no one else can make...
