22.01.2022 'You never conquer your demons. They’re always here that’s why they’re called demons. Demons don’t disappear. It’s like a disease. It’s a constant struggle with... my demons. I never let myself believe that they’re gone. I never leave myself vulnerable. I know I cannot be around certain people and I know I can never take a drink.' - Mike Tyson

22.01.2022 Setting boundaries with the NARCISSIST... (or people with Narcissistic features - in the family setting): The narcissist can be dangerous and toxic. They also exist all around us. Narcissists are generally grandiose people who lack empathy for those around them, while also harboring arrogant, self-centered, demanding or manipulative tenancies. As defined by psychology there are different types, and they exist on a spectrum. ... As Narcissism seems to be rising among society, inevitably more and more victims are heading to counselling for help and anger management. Taking into account that deep down the fragile Narcissist needs to feel better (UP) by your feeling bad (DOWN), the Narcissist typically 'projects' his/her negative feelings onto you - Nit-picking, criticising, judging, patronising you, being hostile, aggressive, passive aggressive, sabotaging, undermining you, etc, etc. There is, however, a highly effective way to deal with them. THE LIMIT SETTING CONNECTION CONTRACT - WHAT TO DO: Be 'clear' and 'specific' in outlining which behaviour(s) will no longer be acceptable. You need to plan this ahead of meeting with them and to set the LIMITS. Becoming emotionally involved and arguing with a Narcissist is often useless and frustrating. It's probably best to communicate over the phone or by letter. Calmly say, but spell it out, " I really want to see you, you're my sister/brother etc, but if I hear yelling, if I hear criticising, unwanted advice, or lack of empathy in regards to my situation, that will tell me you're not in a space to be around me, and I,ll have to find somewhere else to be. So it's really up to you, if I,m able to see you on this trip. " This let's the person know all the things/deal breakers that are going to keep you from being present and sticking around the person.

22.01.2022 This is Charlie Chaplin at age 26, photographed 100 years ago. It’s believed he wrote the poem below at age 70. His poem says so very, very much... As I ...began to love myself I found that anguish and emotional suffering are only warning signs that I was living against my own truth. Today, I know, this is Authenticity. As I began to love myself I understood how much it can offend somebody if I try to force my desires on this person, even though I knew the time was not right and the person was not ready for it, and even though this person was me. Today I call this Respect. As I began to love myself I stopped craving for a different life, and I could see that everything that surrounded me was inviting me to grow. Today I call this Maturity. As I began to love myself I understood that at any circumstance, I am in the right place at the right time, and everything happens at the exactly right moment. So I could be calm. Today I call this Self-Confidence. As I began to love myself I quit stealing my own time, and I stopped designing huge projects for the future. Today, I only do what brings me joy and happiness, things I love to do and that make my heart cheer, and I do them in my own way and in my own rhythm. Today I call this Simplicity. As I began to love myself I freed myself of anything that is no good for my health food, people, things, situations, and everything that drew me down and away from myself. At first I called this attitude a healthy egoism. Today I know it is Love of Oneself. As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is Modesty. As I began to love myself I refused to go on living in the past and worrying about the future. Now, I only live for the moment, where everything is happening. Today I live each day, day by day, and I call it Fulfillment. As I began to love myself I recognized that my mind can disturb me and it can make me sick. But as I connected it to my heart, my mind became a valuable ally. Today I call this connection Wisdom of the Heart. We no longer need to fear arguments, confrontations or any kind of problems with ourselves or others. Even stars collide, and out of their crashing, new worlds are born. Today I know: This is Life! ~Charlie Chaplin

17.01.2022 All fathers need to watch this. It may seem a bit extreme, but theres an important message behind it.

17.01.2022 FAMILY LAW INQUIRY UPDATE This week I had the opportunity to provide an update in the Senate on the progress of One Nation's Inquiry into Australia's Family Law... System. The committee will hand down its final report on the last sitting day in February 2021. Until then I will continue to work around the clock to ensure that the issues with this system, which cause so many families so much pain, are brought to light and addressed. The committee website linked below is also a good resource for following the progress of the Inquiry. https://www.aph.gov.au///Joint/Family_Law_System/FamilyLaw

14.01.2022 Why Should Men Worry When Their Woman Goes silent? Men, it is about time you learn something about women. You should know this by heart because it is something that every single woman on this planet does. Most men worry when a woman yells at them. Well, dont worry when this happens or when she blames you. Dont worry when she sends you long essays on social media explaining to you why is she mad. Dont worry then.... Also, you shouldnt worry when she decides to come all across town to knock on your door in the middle of the night just because she is mad and hurt and wants to talk. Believe it or not, but you shouldnt worry when she cries at night because of something you did or said. Are you surprised you are reading this? You need to understand that they are all displays of her love. Yes, they are all exhibits of how much she loves you, and they are cries for your attention. So when you should worry? You should worry when her messages are only answers of one word. Worry when you notice that she no longer fights with you, worry when she stops crying and knocking on your door. Worry when she stops reacting and talking. Why should you worry? You should worry because this only means that you are no longer worth her anger, and you are no longer worth the fight. Because it says that those flames that burned her passion are now cold as ice. Worry because a womans silence is far more dangerous than her words, her silence can destroy much more than her words ever will. A womans silence means you are no longer that person who occupies her thoughts.

12.01.2022 I think the key to staying in love, is staying grateful. When you have something and someone good, dont go looking for something better. Learn to appreciate ...what you have. Learn that the best relationships are the ones where you dont give up on each other. We are living in a generation where its easy to move on and give up when things get hard. Dont do that. Cherish what you have. Be that story that says - we made it all the way, and thats because we never gave up on each other, or walked away from the love we found. We made it all the way because we reminded ourselves, every single day, just how lucky we really were. Words: @kirstencorleyofficial . @justinbieber x @haileybieber Late Nights In The City

11.01.2022 Christmas should be the happiest time of the year. But for many Victorians, its often the hardest. As the year ends, stress increases, money gets tighter, bo...oze flows more freely - and family violence soars. What makes it worse is that many of these incidents will go unrecorded. Abuse will go unchecked. If you see or hear someone being hurt or intimidated, report it. Share these numbers with the people around you. And remember that family violence isnt always physical. You never know who might need help most.

11.01.2022 When we experience stress, our bodies release chemicals (cortisol and adrenaline) into our blood stream. These chemicals inhibit the proper functioning of our i...mmune cells. Therefore, these immune cells cant perform their role and are unable to fight off foreign invaders. If stress is short term, the cells recover quickly and our immune system remains robust. However, if stress is ongoing, these immune cells dont get time to rebuild and recover. This then makes the body an easy target for infections and viruses. If the body doesnt have the support if its immune cells, these infections survive and cause illness. Have you ever had a period of persistent stress followed by an infection or illness? #immunesystem #stress #destress #cortisol #immunefunction #healthyimmunesystem #illness #infection #flu

09.01.2022 What was the trigger in my life that made me shift MY mindset from negative to positive? #zeronegativity #middletonmonday #mondaymotivation

08.01.2022 My mind used to rule my life and as a result I was stricken with worry and self-doubt on a daily basis. It wasn’t until I uncovered the unconscious aspect of my... personality, that I really broke free. From the moment I first heard this quote it had a profound impact on me and my life. It made me hungry to learn more and understand this at a deeper level. The majority of our thoughts are just created as a result of our subconscious survival program (also referred to as our SHADOW). Our mind is often soooo busy and just runs on autopilot. This chatter brings about tremendous self-doubt and it questions and judges everything. It’s exhausting!! If we don’t recognise that this internal talk is not who we really are (it’s just a program with the aim to keep us safe- TOO safe actually), it can be ever so consuming and anxiety provoking. This internal chatter insists on being heard and it takes a lot of practice and will-power to quieten and shut it down. But if we can navigate and master our internal world, our external world will completely shift. Our shadow impacts everyway we show up in this world and how we engage with the people around us. If the same program is constantly playing in the background, then life experiences just continue to happen on REPEAT. Can you relate to this in any area of your life? In your relationships, your health, your work, finances, with your children. If you are brave enough to look and befriend your hidden shadow, your life will transform. You can then step into a more peaceful, fearless and easeful way of living. You will also begin to view life through a new lens. Your brain is plastic, so when we upgrade our brain, we can also upgrade our own capabilities too. When we learn to use our brain differently, when we learn to harness it’s power instead of letting it rule us, our brain will actually change over time. It will begin to work for us. Simple CONSCOUSNESS practices have the ability to restructure your brain in ways that no drug is able to do...incredible! #mind #freedomofmind #shadowwork #subconsciousmind #consciousness See more
