Try to talk arguments with your sibling out. This might be hard because they might be at a different maturity level than you. They might not react the way that you’d like, but there are a lot of benefits to discussing the issue.
Many times, small sibling arguments are triggered by bigger issues. They borrowed something and didn’t return it, or they told your parents about something you did wrong. You might think they get more attention, or that people unfairly compare you to them.
If you want to try more activities outside, you can do geocaching, beachcombing, woodland trails, local walking/rambling groups, or regular exercise such as yoga or jogging in a park.
You can use a glass jar to make a mini garden (“terrarium”) for your desk, using plants, soil, stones and anything else you’d like to include. Some people like to add seashells, or plastic toys or figurines.
You are the only one who can directly control the outcome of your life. It won’t always be easy. Everyone has a stack of obstacles in front of them. You must take accountability for your situation, and overcome these obstacles.
Own your choices and mistakes. Be willing to take the necessary steps to improve upon them. Take accountability for your life, or someone else will – and when they do, you’ll become a slave to their ideas and dreams, instead of a pioneer of your own.
While you want to visualise the big picture and see yourself happily adjusted to a major change occurring, you also need to focus your energies on the here and now of the adjustment process, in your adaptation to the new reality that faces you.
Major life changes, like a car accident or winning the lottery, can “happen overnight”, but your adjustment period won’t. Try to visualise the stages of the change and imagine the end of the process, when you have adjusted to the new circumstances.
Siblings often compete over their parents’ attention. This is called sibling rivalry, and it could be the reason why you fight with your siblings – but it doesn’t mean you’ll never get along with your brother or sister, or that you can’t be good friends.
The hardest people to get along with can be the people you’re closest to – like your brothers and sisters. The relationships that you have with your siblings can be a lot more complex than those you have with others, which can cause you to get more upset.
