Invest In Your Relationship With Yourself
Why is it that our relationship with ourselves is often the worst relationship in our lives? The desire to serve is in our nature as humans, and especially as women. We want to help, support, encourage, empower, and take care of everyone we see, except the person we see in the mirror. Our tendency to put others first, often causes us to neglect our relationship with ourselves, but the truth is you are not going to be able to help and serve those you love as effectively if you’re not at your best. Self care is NOT selfish. What you want is NOT less valuable that what other people want from you. So many of us have struggled for years with self worth and self esteem because of the influence of the media, experiences from childhood and/or other traumatic events in our lives that have shaped our beliefs and our self perceptions. We may have formed self deprecating thoughts, and limiting beliefs, that cause us to see ourselves as unworthy, or undeserving of the things we want in life— we constantly tell ourselves we’re not enough “I’m not__(insert insecurity here)__enough to…”. We pick oursselves apart when we look in the mirror, we constantly compare ourselves to others, and we berate ourselves for every misstep, and every mistake. Why? We expect perfection even though we know it doesn’t really exist—but it’s like chasing after a ghost. The funny thing is, we would never speak to a person we love the way we speak to ourselves. Let me be your advocate and show you a kinder, gentler way to treat the most important person in your life—you. To treat yourself with more curiosity and less judgement, with more compassion and less comparison, with more love and less loathing. Let me teach you how to love and accept yourself more fully so you can unlock your innate potential so you can reach new heights of personal success!
Improve Your Relationships With Others
As humans we are social creatures. We all desire love and belonging and it’s one of the primary forces that drives our behaviour both conciously and subconciously. However, we’re also emotional creatures with different experiences and beliefs that all shape the way that we act and react to others which can complicate our relationships. Understanding how your beliefs and experiences inform your “map” of the world, and shape the meaning you apply . Once you can draw awareness to the experiences that shaped you and the way you see the world, you will be better able to approach others more with curiosity and less with judgement. Recognizing your own emotions and triggers can also help control how you react to and interact with people. It happens to all of us from time to time, we’re a mess internally and we project our fears, insecurities etc. onto others. Learn how to create better communication, build trust and adjust your mindset to create deeper connections and stronger relationships. Once we master these skills, our relationships can really flourish.
