This week's magic trick will help you bring down the drama in your life.

For this week, try responding to CONTENT instead of responding to TONE.

For example.....last Friday I asked my daughter, "can you please do the laundry by Sunday afternoon?"

My daughter rolled her eyes, huffed, said something under her breath, and pouted, "I will do the laundry by Sunday" with each word dripping with all sorts of tones.

I stripped out the eye rolls, huffs, tones, and revised her response in my head to a neutral "I will do the laundry by Sunday."

All of a sudden, the conversation is EASY.

I just said, "OK, thanks."

She did the laundry by Sunday.

There was no war.

There was only peace and space.

This works equally well with work, inlaws, and ex-es.

Give it a try!
