CHallenge for Today:
Use the Emotion Wheel to speak specifically about one issue that exists in your home, then follow it by guessing the emotions your partner has about it, I'll go first:
Decluttering living room area:
Me
ANger -that it feels like we can never get ahead of it
shame- that my lack of caring strongly about it def makes it harder for ALyssa
Guilt - that I do de-prioritize it from my work
fear - in this chapter of life (next couples months) with less child care help that this could get escalated especially as our 3 year old is getting more creative with resources and using more things
lonely - that ALyssa thinks its just on her
Sad - home much shame, guilt and pain ALyssa gets from seeing the space that way
Hurt - when (not too frequent) ALyssa blames things on me that the living room has acheived this state bc i don't care
Joy - when i put the miniutes into clearing/cleaning it
Her (my guess)
Anger - that Zach doesn't care about it the way i do
shame - that I'll be judged by family/community from how messy it is
guilt - that i get anger about ti being messy when its just our toddler having fun
fear - that it will forever be unequal level of care
lonely - that I'm the only one that cares and puts effor tinto it
sad - how much pain i get from seeing it this way
hurt - that Zach knows how much i care and doesn't put in the same or more effort into it
Joy - when its clean when i get back from somewhere
