Finding the Right Tools to Make Improvements and Repairs
The most basic tool in your chest is also one that is imperative to improving, reviewing, and resolving any mother-daughter issue. It is called objective thinking. Objective thinking must incorporate having a neutral mindset, stepping back, relying on the facts, and divorcing reason from emotion. Objectivity promotes clarity. It encourages thinking that will benefit mother-daughter relationships, and will help those who are seeking repairs and improvements. The opposite of objectivity is subjectivity. It does not benefit your pursuit of making improvements and repairs. An excessive subjective mindset indicates an egocentric individual or mom. Subjective thinking relies on personal emotions, preconceived notions, one point of view, personal interests, a lack of empathy, narrow vision, and egocentric observations. If you are unable to leave subjectivity behind and to achieve objectivity on your own or discern fact from fiction, it may be time to make an appointment with someone who can be an impartial participant in the process.
