Christmas firefighting questions

Image
Let’s deal wit a fact as a mediator, I can not rarely come up with a funny topic, but my topics with a high chance can lead into funny and peaceful moments. My today’s topic is the "Christmas firefighting”. Statistics on divorce regularly reveal a spike in the number of people separating in the month of January, so we rightly suspected increased tension around Christmas as the last straw. What can we do to prevent tension and conflicts? Let’s take the most critical point! The difference with Christmas compared to the rest of the year is that there is an intense period of approximately two to three weeks which tests any kind of relationships. The present You received a present what makes you understand that they even don’t know who you are?  You should ask yourself the following Christmas firefighting questions: Did I give chance for this people to understand what I am wishing for? If the answer yes: you can still try to have more direct discussion next year. If it won’t work jus...

Karácsonyi tűzoltó kérdések

Image
Szögezzük le mediátorként ritkán tudok vicces témával előállni, de a témáim nagy eséllyel vezethetnek vicces, békés pillanatokhoz. Egy aktuális témáról készülök írni nektek pár gondolatot,  a "karácsonyi tűzoltás". A válási statisztikák rendszeresen azt mutatják, hogy januárban megugrik a házasságkötések felbontásának a száma, így joggal gyanítjuk, hogy a karácsony körül megnövekedett feszültség az utolsó csepp a pohárban. A karácsonyi időszak abban különbözik az év többi részétől, hogy körülbelül egy két-három hetes időszak nagyon intenzív, amely bármilyen kapcsolatot próbára tesz. Mit tehetünk a feszültségek és konfliktusok elkerülése érdekében?  Tekintsük át a legkritikusabb pontokat! Ajándék   Olyan ajándékot kaptál, ami azt az érzést váltja ki belőled, hogy aki adta azt sem tudja, hogy ki vagy.   Tedd fel magadnak a következő tűzoltó kérdést!  Szántam időt arra, hogy megosszam másokkal mire vágyom?   Ha a válaszod  igen , akkor...

The silent tea set

Despite struggling with constant fatigue, Kata visited her mother today, as she did every day, after she closed their craft bakery. It was always reassuring to come in. In response to the knock, her mother's smile came from across the window, and within seconds the door opened. After she had spent her entire childhood then her diligent years in the bakery, her legs couldn't take her   so far anymore, bur she really missed the bakery, so she couldn't wait for Kata to report every day what had happened at the bakery and the shop.   - Come on, tell me! Were there any queer shoppers today? - There was really nothing worth mentioning today except this new bundle of orange honey nuts. Come, taste it, and tell me your opinion! They sat down at the kitchen table and her mother opened the package hiding the novelty with sparkling eyes. She took a look, smelled it, and finally bit it, closed her eyes, and tasted it. - I was expecting the taste of lemon peel, but that taste hurled m...

Drop by drop our Serbia compatible family version

Image
How did we build our Serbia compatible family version drop by drop? After a few moves, we developed our own relocation routine, including a priority list - which is constantly changing as our child grows. Of course, at the top of the list are all the things what we are not willing to give up. Our first task on our to do list after having decided to accept a job offer in some other country is to visit the city that might become our temporary home. We prefer to discover the city with a local tour guide, the trip includes the visiting of some schools, learning about the local real estate market, finding out more information about public safety, health care, and taking a look at the selection of shops. In the meantime, we pay attention to our inner voice, but at least to our feelings. On the last night of the visit over a pleasant dinner, we usually share our impressions and make a conclusion. In the case of Belgrade, this was as follows. We didn't have high expectations when...

If cats could give advice on how to maintain our mental balance

Image
As a mediator, one can sometimes feel isolated, after all confidentiality comes first, there is no room to share your concerns. This is compounded by a relatively common negative atmosphere, as disagreements rarely tend to be positive. Where can all this lead? In a long run, feeling unfocused, ungrounded, empty or despondent. And then we can say that our mental health has been shaken. Is this necessary the case? Is this really the end of this profession? Is there a possibility of prevention? Let's see the cats! Why cats? Because they're pretty lonely such as mediators are, but they look always balanced. What is their secret? Morning wake up always starts with stretching . Then there may come a little bit of licking, that's how they dress their best suiting outfit, adjust their hairstyle and correct their makeup. Have you ever seen a cat who had not been happy with its appearance ? If we have already touched the outside, let's turn to the internal values as well. I bet y...
