How To Effectively Set Boundaries
What I’m telling you is, sometimes, it’s okay to choose yourself. In fact, I encourage you to do so. Let’s chalk it up to self-care. Setting boundaries is a form of self-care.
Negative Body Image? Change Your Focus
Many people struggle with some part of their body they don’t like. Sometimes, their imagination makes things out to be worse than they are. They look at a photo of themselves and all they see is how large their nose is. But in reality, their nose may be perfect for their face. It’s only the angle of the photo or their mind focusing on it that makes it seem problematic.
Help Is Not A Four Letter Word: Asking for Help
Asking for help can be daunting. Especially if you are in the helping profession. However, there have been several times in my life where taking that step was the best decision I could have made.
Setting Boundaries
Firstly, I want to say that setting boundaries is hard. The boundaries have served some purpose for us, but when we need them to change it also means that the purpose they once served has changed.
The Power of Assertiveness: Saying “No”
I have learned that saying “no” without apology, excuses, or justification is much easier said than done. This style of communication involves setting boundaries using clear, decisive, and succinct language.
Coping With Anxiety
Living with anxiety can be hell but it doesn’t have to keep you stuck! Breath work continues to be a powerful way to induce calm under a number of circumstances.
Life’s Too Busy for a Sexless Marriage
Life is too busy for a sexless marriage. Sex, and the “work” that’s necessary to make it good and enjoyable, require skills that most are not taught.
Cheated On: Compassion Over Vengeance
Recovering from an affair is a messy business. I struggle to help each relationship no matter the circumstances. For the cheated on, rebuilding the ability to trust. For those who cheated, rebuilding their trustworthiness. These things take an exorbitant amount of courage, patience, and time well-spent to accomplish.
