A Little Bit About Me!

 A Little Bit About Me!

Hi friends! I'm BrenAnn Hammer, a current college student at Brigham Young University-Idaho, studying Business Management. Family is one of the most important things to me in my life, and I am excited to share my insights on how to make a family better. My family is not perfect by any means, no family is, but I am eager to get real and deep about issues involving the family, especially in our evolving world today. Stay tuned for more posts, and feel free to be active in the comments!

Parenting

     I am just now realizing that this weeks blog is going to be about something tough. There are so many different ways and approaches to go about this in life, and no matter what, you're going to fail at something with it along the way and that is...parenting. Now, ever since I was a little girl I have always wanted to be a mom. As I watched my mom and other women around me, it just looked so fun. Family has always been the most important thing to me, my biggest priority, that's why I've always wanted to be a mom. To have a family of my own that I created. However, as I'm getting older, i'm realizing how incredibly hard and tiring it is. It's so fulfilling i'm sure, but a lot of guilt comes with it. It's also draining and confusing as every single child is different and expects and needs different things.

Communication

     One of the most common issues in relationships, I would say, would have to revolve around communication. Communication is one of the hardest aspects to a relationship.

All of our minds think differently and at different speeds, it just seems impossible to to ever understand someone else's perspective. That is where good communication skills come in to play.

Not communication leads to a result of 51% of the issues, tone of voice is 35%, and the words spoken lead to 14% of the issues. The way we speak and the words we say really do play a factor in a re...

Pain and Stress

      This week in class we talked about stressors. With any relationship comes stress. Actually, no, with life in general comes stress. There are so many troubling things out in the world today. There's school, work, family, and friends to worry about and including all of that in a relationship is just another thing to think about. I think in a relationship, it is so important to see your partner in a stressful situation. It can teach you so much about the other person and how they handle things. Everyone handles life's challenges differently and cope with things in certain ways so it's good to see how your significant other deals with hardships. Stress is a natural feeling and can be good sometimes, however too much stress can strain relationships with others. Stress can turn in to distress. The difference is stress is a feeling of frustration or feeling nervous while distress is feeling anxious and is more emotional. At times, stress or distress can come to be from pai...
