25.01.2022 Developing the capacity to befriend does not mean that we have to like the painful or the difficult. When we learn to stand near to it and befriend it without being overwhelmed, we become free to accept our vulnerability.

24.01.2022 Confession: I thought I was conscious around my screen time. Then I started to review the data on my phone and I was horrified! I do use it for work (like writi...ng this post!)but still, my use can hover between 15-22 hours per week. That's nearly an entire day of my precious life. There are so many other things, better things, more productive and soulful things I'd like to do with that time. This weekend, I encourage you to take a break from your phone with me. That doesn't mean you can't use it at all, it's about being more intentional with your use. You may find that your days off become a little longer and a lot more satisfying when you disconnect from the virtual and reconnect with your soul. How will you spend the time gained from a mini digital detox? Positively Present

24.01.2022 When I reflect on the lessons of John Gottman and Brené Brown, one concept stands out: we must run headlong into heartbreak because there are things far worse than having our hearts broken.

22.01.2022 Date night are great - except for when they're not. How do you maintain passion in a relationship when you barely have time to breathe?

18.01.2022 I dont claim to know what fuel works best for everyone, but what I know for sure is that I believe in loves promise and I run best on love. Brené Brown

18.01.2022 In intimate relationships, we are very likely to feel triggered by things our partner/s say or do. These triggers are opportunities to grow past our edges and i...nto our feelings to ultimately create deeper connections. Our triggers are an opportunity to lean in and feel ourselves without getting lost in the pain, nor the pursuit of escape. We can numb ourselves out with substances, food, shopping, sex, exercise or the pursuit of perfection. Sometimes we choose partners, friends or lovers who are perpetually triggered as a way of distracting ourselves from our own feelings and attending only to theirs. Either way there is no opportunity for growth or developing relationship skills when everyone is busy being triggered or putting out spot fires. See more

17.01.2022 Talk to each other

17.01.2022 It ultimately boils down to two people not getting what they need from each other.

16.01.2022 "Ultimately, confrontation will probably improve your life. Sometimes, though, you might lose a relationship. Your partner may not want you to stand up for your...self. Your coworker may not want you to take on more work and receive more credit. Your parents might not like that youre leaving your high paying job for something that feels more satisfying to you. Youre not doing this for other people, though; youre doing it for yourself. To prove that you know what you want and are not afraid to talk to other people about it. Youre not afraid to show the world what you really think and feel. Youre not willing to be treated poorly." ~Jen Picicci See more

15.01.2022 "It's eye-opening to reflect on the many ways that adults inflict adult pacing, adult expectations, and adult schedules on young kids. And for what reason?" Erika Christakis, author and preschool teacher

12.01.2022 Learning to manage interpersonal triggers is a practice of slowing down long enough to feel the discomfort (the trigger) and acknowledge its presence without tr...ying to make it go away, nor blaming others, or having outbursts for what you are experiencing. When we spend most of our time trying to control the world and the people around us rather than ourselves, there is a pretty good chance we are doing so at a cost of developing the skills to manage ourselves, our feelings and the depths of our inner world. To be clear, this is not a case of relinquishing interest in social issues, community wellbeing and political action, but recognizing we are of more use in our relationships and communities when we are taking care of ourselves first, to then be of better service to others.

11.01.2022 Self care is so many things. For me it's inevitability doing the most mundane tasks like cleaning my apartment and going outside. Self care is a free resource w...e can access when we remember to do it. It needn't be elaborate, in fact if it's regular it becomes more valuable than an extravagant indulgence. @hazel.mead #love #connection #gratitude #selfcare #emotion #selfworth #sextherapist #sextherapy #sexeducation #sexologist #sexcoach #newyork #nyc #communicatiion #relationships #connection #pleasure #somaticwisdom #sapiosexual #intimacy See more

10.01.2022 Its easy to feel uncared for when people arent able to communicate and connect with you in the way you need. And its so hard not to internalize that silence ...as a reflection on your worth. But the truth is that the way other people operate is not about you. Most people are so caught up in their own responsibilities, struggles, and anxiety that the thought of asking someone else how theyre doing doesnt even cross their mind. They arent inherently bad or uncaring theyre just busy and self-focused. ... And thats okay. Its not evidence of some fundamental failing on your part. It doesnt make you unlovable or invisible. It just means that those people arent very good at looking beyond their own world. But the fact that you are that despite the darkness you feel, you have the ability to share your love and light with others is a strength. Your work isnt to change who you are; its to find people who are able to give you the connection you need. Because despite what you feel, you are not too much. You are not too sensitive or too needy. You are thoughtful and empathetic. You are compassionate and kind. And with or without anyones acknowledgment or affection, you are enough. Daniell Koepke

09.01.2022 Practicing real self-care is about recognizing what we need to feel more safe, nourished, and supported, and acting on those needs. : Lisa Olivera Therapy, LMFT #106546

06.01.2022 With culture and the rules of relationship changing at a rapid rate, more (heterosexual) women are opting for a solo life than mediocre relationships. Dying alone is no longer a threat, it's a preference!

06.01.2022 Learning your emotional triggers on your own is one thing but figuring out your triggers in a relationship adds another layer of intensity. This graphic from Blessing Manifesting: Self Love Quotes helps you identify what triggers you in relationships.

04.01.2022 "Ive realised how often I sought emotional labour from the women in my life without reciprocating it."

04.01.2022 The truth is, other peoples opinions of us are none of our business. Their opinions have nothing to do with us and everything to do with them, their past, the...ir judgments, their expectations, their likes, and their dislikes. I could stand in front of twenty strangers and speak on any topic. Some of them will hate what Im wearing, some will love it. Some will think Im a fool, and others will love what I have to say. Some will forget me as soon as they leave, others will remember me for years. Some will hate me because I remind them of their annoying sister-in-law. Others will feel compassionate toward me because I remind them of their daughter. Some will completely understand what I have to say, and others will misinterpret my words. Each of them will get the exact same me. I will do my best and be the best I can be in that moment. But their opinions of me will vary. And that has nothing to do with me and everything to do with them. No matter what I do some people will never like me. No matter what I do some people will always like me. Either way, it has nothing to do with me. And its none of my business. ~Sandy Woznicki See more

03.01.2022 Rewire your anxious thoughts...

02.01.2022 Before you assume, learn. Before you judge, understand. Before you hurt, feel. Before you say, think. ~Unknown

01.01.2022 Dr. John Gottman has refined the skill of effective complaining down to a simple, three-part formula. With a little practice and persistence, following the formula will help couples discuss their issues without causing harm to each other.
