High chairs are for toddlers. There is a tray to keep them within the boundaries of the chair and place their food in easy reach. A figurative high chair for you might be your job. You may feel confined to your daily duties with no room for growth. Frustration can build if you are able to see something you want that is beyond your reach. Perspective and willingness to try a new approach are the counters to frustration. Realize that you will not always be limited to your current circumstance and consider how you will proceed once you are able to move in the direction that you want.
Armchairs are often accent pieces that coordinate with larger furniture items. They provide comfort without taking up a lot of space. Simple gestures can serve a similar purpose. A supportive smile, understanding nod, or encouraging thumbs up signal can make someone feel better. Something that seems relatively small can sometimes make a big difference.
Rocking chairs represent relaxation. The back and forth motion soothes crying babies or restless adults. Your tone of voice and choice of words can do the same thing when you interact with others. Speak with the intent to ease distress and promote cooperation when you sense the need for an objective opinion in an ongoing discussion.

Great post! Keep writing and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThis week I will focus on the “Armchair”. In my profession comfort, understanding and encouragement goes a long way.
ReplyDeleteThe people I encounter each day are unemployed and could only hope for the “High Chair” experience of being placed where their next job is in easy reach however frustration sets in because they are able to see the jobs but the job is beyond their reach because of their own inability to market themselves, their past behavior is haunting them or the person making the decision has their own personal discriminative issues.
So this week I will encourage and empower with an encouraging thumbs up and an understanding nod to empower those affected individuals to push through. There is light at the end of the tunnel and breakthrough is here. Thank you for setting the tone for my week. WMG
This week I will be using the rocking chair. Although I find it hard to relax I realize relaxation is a necessary part of healthy living. The rocking chair will assist me in my daily interaction with family and friends.TT
