So, let’s say that you want improve the quality of your Family Life. That’s an admirable goal, but you have to be more specific. You know that there are lots of things you can work on when it comes to the family, so you have to get specific. You will need to think about what part of the family relationship that you need to work on and what it will take for you to bring the family closer to your own ideal.

The second part of the law of attraction is to learn how to let go of the negative energy and replace it with positive energy. Get everyone on board with the idea. Describe the vision as you see it.  In GREAT detail. Know what it will look like when you have accomplished it.  Get your family members to see it, too. A group change is easier if everyone in the group can see where this is going.

If you would really like to use the law of attraction in your family, then you will have to get everyone to give it a chance. Have every member of your family use the law of attraction in a way to achieve the family’s collective goal. You will want to make sure that no one’s goal conflicts with another because it will end up in conflict with the overall goal. You will want to make sure that you consider the way the family reacts to the law of attraction theory.

Moving on to the third step of the law of attraction, you all need to take action on the goal.  That is, act like a family. This means that you will need to schedule your family nights and learn how to share time with each other. You will need to accept the fact that the family needs to start acting like a family. For example, you need to all sit down and eat dinner together. Talk at breakfast, work together, spend time together, and have some fun together. This is the step where you will need to act like you are family.

You will want to consider that there is a lot to do when it comes to working as a family and it is a long way down the road before your family is “perfect”.  Achieving family togetherness and happiness is not (usually) a one-step process.

Be patient and remind each other of the vision with each other often.  Keep the vision alive.  It’ll work.  You’ll see.

If stress is a particular problem in your family, have a look here.

Regardless of your role in the family (father, mother, son, daughter, brother, or sister), you need to do everything in your power to be a good family member.  By concentrating on making yourself the best person you can be, you can singlehandedly be the difference that makes the difference in the family dynamics.

First and foremost, cut everybody some slack.  (Yes, even you control-freaks!) Learn to put up with some of the irritating things that your family does.  Rap music?  Classical? Heavy Metal?  Too loud? Not loud enough?  Just because you have needs doesn’t mean that you get to bully someone.  (That goes for parents and kids!)  We all have needs.  There are lots of ways to deal with this.  Check your attitude at the door. If the music is too loud, negotiate.  Compromise.  Make a deal.  Go where the music isn’t.  Heck, you could even learn to like it!

If your spouse has habits or preferences when it comes to cleanliness (or a lack thereof), start by acknowledging that you have differences.  Don’t expect him or her to change just because you want it so.  And don’t insist on being “right” or superior.  If you want the house to be cleaner, then do it yourself.  Maybe your spouse will catch on to your preference and agree to pitch in.  If he or she doesn’t, don’t turn it into a weapon to beat them with.

Take the time to become closer to your family and get to know them better. Plan family outings, and eat dinner together on a nightly basis.  Keep up with what is going on in the lives of your children and spouse. Take it all to heart, don’t just make empty small talk. Engaging in conversation over things that you find “trivial” may feel like a futile exercise, but by showing personal interest you will create bridges and make a stronger relationship.  And who knows, you may even learn how to care about those “trivial” things because they are important to someone you love.  Build some fun into your work activities, and build some work into your fun activities.

Family life is always something that can be improved.  If you have been having troubles lately, take steps now to prevent things from getting worse.  It may take some effort on your part, but you can get your family back to a healthy point, and from there you can live with your family in happiness and peace.  If you think that things are beyond your ability to act, talk to a family therapist or counselor to get some advice or guidance.

When your family life is not peaceful, disastrous results may be just around the corner.  It’s only common sense.  The possible outcomes include dysfunction, divorce, and trouble with the law, to name a few.   Stress is always a sign that something needs attention.  Click here to find out how to deal with stress.
