The first few times it made sense. But after showing him 5 times where the bandaids were. I was irritated when he asked.\r\n\nIt was only after I figured out, he wasn\u2019t just asking where the bandaids were, he was wanting some love and attention because he got hurt. That I was able to respond to the question with kindness and love. \r\n\n25 years later and he still asks where the bandaids are. Thank goodness I figured out what he really was asking for so many years ago.\r\n\nWhat is a question someone asks you over and over again? Try using the AWARE tool to see if you can figure out what they are really asking\r\n\n\n Aware \u2013 Notice they are asking the question. \r\n\n Wonder \u2013 Why are they really asking this. What do they really want or need?\r\n\n Accept \u2013 accept my irritation, of course I was irritated when I thought it was this\u2026. Accept what they really are asking, of course they would want this.\r\n\n Respond \u2013 Keeping in mind what I want to create, how can I respond next time they ask this?\r\n\n Evaluate \u2013 How did it go?\r\n\n\n\r\n\r\n\nHELPFUL LINKS\r\n\nhttps://www.instagram.com/powerupyourprayers/ (Follow me on Instagram) @powerupyourprayers\r\n\nhttps://sheridanripley.com/podcast (Podcast Episodes) \u2013 Show notes\r\n\nhttps://amzn.to/2tRsYHQ (Grab a Copy of one of my Books)\r\n\nhttps://d.docs.live.net/5a023df0fb443505/Podcasts/mailchi.mp/ca001c572c36/instagram-for-power-up-your-prayers (Gain Free Access to My Favorite Tools)","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/51f40224-49f0-4509-a82c-9c91d3fe8b84/a22286c62592e45c.jpeg"}
