Day 158: Resolve conflicts with Dad

Challenges
Had issues with dad all these while.
I always got triggered by his demands.

Perceptual Positioning
4 Identity
Young Rachel
Dad
Rachel as Observer (Verbalise it)
Future Rachel (Verbalise it)

Young Rachel
Little Rachel felt stressed and anxious whenever Dad asked her to do things.
It was always urgent. Even sometimes when Dad told her not to be urgent but he expects her to do things almost immediately or within a day.

Dad
Dad felt helpless and always finds it so difficult to ask little Rachel to do things.
He felt disappointed when little Rachel rejected his requests.

Rachel as Observer
Rachel can see that little Rachel stressed and unhappiness. Little Rachel doesn’t feel love and cared for. It is always task oriented. On the other hand, Rachel also saw Dad's helplessness and disappointment.

Future Rachel
Future Rachel is calm, confident and wise. She knows how to handle such situations. Instead of running away from the problem.

She checks with Dad
What this matter is all about.
What is the timeline for it
How soon can she complete this task

If it is just a photocopy and print document and it is easy to do, just do it for dad. It is not too difficult to do anyway.
Reflection:
Hug the inner child daily before sleep.
I handel my own anxiety and fear. What the anxiety is all about?
I do not know Dad entirely, he has his own issues and challenges.
Dad’s anxiety is his issue to handle.
