Though building resiliency in yourself and in the sectors of your life is always a good idea, in today’s world it is absolutely critical.

It is a big mistake to think that 2021 will be a year for “getting back to the way things were.” Anyway, I want to give you some tips for 2021 to help you to get the most out of it.

Giving and receiving are a natural part of life, just like an inhale and an exhale.  Both are an essential part of life satisfaction.  Both are also a necessary part of relationships.  But people can have a painful relationship with giving or receiving or both.  A while ago, I did a video titled: How To Receive .  If you feel you have trouble receiving, you will want to wa...

Gifts may not be your love language.  It may be a love language that you struggle at.  But it is an important language to develop, especially because you may just come across someone who receives love in that way.  And so today, I’m going to help you with how to speak the love language of gifts.

Today, I’m going to explain to you what #enmeshment is and also the common effects that it has on a person’s life. I want you to imagine a child who is sitting at a high chair. This child is not hungry and pushes the spoon away from his mouth. His mother refuses to #acknowledge that “I’m not hungry” is the #truth for this child and so she gets angry and shoves the spoon in the child’s mouth anyway...

Orphan Complex - What a lot of people don’t realize is that the experience of #orphanhood exists as on a scale of severity.

When we use the word stress, usually we are implying that stress is a purely negative thing. But not all stress is the same. To generalize, there are two different types of #stress. Distress and Eustress.

How to understand #family? Family is the framework of human society and the system into which a physical human is typically born and #socialized, it is critical to become aware of family in general.

There is an unhealthy tendency that can arise when a person is healing, which can easily be confused for healing, but that is in fact simply a dramatic swing into the opposite manifestation of unhealthy… A pendulum swing.

The better the question, the better the answer. For this reason, I have selected a collection of 100 of the most powerful questions that you can ask yourself. You can find all of the questions written down at https://tealswan.com/100questions/

There is a question you can ask yourself that will define your deepest joy, your actual purpose, your actual commitment and therefore the actual correct course of your life. That question is: What Pain Will You Say Yes to?

It is inevitable in life that certain circumstances, events and experiences will call your life into question. They will cause you to #re-evaluate your #life. For example, when someone gets married, it might cause you to question the quality and satisfaction of your own #relationships or the sacrifices you might be making for the sake of your career.

How to get over the fear of responsibility? The fear of responsibility is actually common enough that it has even been given a name: Hypengyophobia.

Looking to complete something or finish what you start is an important element of creating success, except for when it comes to things where there is never going to be an end. And one of the reasons that people suffer is that they tend to look for a point of ended-ness in things that have no end. They look to get things done, when there is no way to get it done.

Shadow work is the process of making the unconscious conscious and the unacceptable, acceptable. It includes any process or practice that makes you aware of the unconscious and which brings about the integration of unconsciousness.

Spirituality and self-help and personal development and psychology and relationships and health and wellness are so enmeshed that as far as markets go, they are often considered to be one and the same field. But In today’s episode, I’m going to show you the bigger picture as to why they absolutely do go hand in hand.

Agree to disagree is a common English phrase, though some variation of the concept that it conveys exists in nearly every culture on the planet.  It essentially means that no resolution to a disagreement, debate or quarrel will occur and so continuing it is unnecessary, ineffective and pointless.  Therefore, it must come to end by each party tolerating but not accepting the other’s oppos...

The Orgy Game is a fun and light personality game invented by Teal Swan. Get your friends and/or family together for some fun. Here's how you play the game: If 8 characters (real or fictional) came together for an orgy, and the combination of everyone at that orgy created... you. Which 8 characters would have been there? And where would it have taken place? Have your friends/family put together th...

Are You Anti Human? People are #intelligent enough to have self-concept amongst other things, but are not yet intelligent enough to ensure that their intelligence doesn’t cause problems for themselves and for other species on the planet.  They have used that intelligence for thousands of years to go against their own #nature.  People have gone into resistance relative to what is human ab...

#Ghosting isn’t a new thing; however, it is getting progressively more common in large part because of social media. The more that connection is taking place online or via text and the less mutual social connections two people share, the easier it is and the less consequences there are for pulling a #disappearing act. Because of this, it is practically an epidemic in the modern dating world. And u...

How Normalization is Hurting You and Society

What is cancel culture and how does it work? #Cancel culture is a shared #social attitude and custom of trying to get rid of the source of something you dislike (the person saying or doing something) rather than trying to resolve or enter into conflict with the words or actions themselves. A good example of this is: Let’s imagine that a famous actress said she does not believe in vaccines. Instead...

You see yourself as an “I” or a “me”. The problem is, this perception of yourself does not accommodate for the full truth of you. In fact, it can obscure the truth of you. If you see yourself in this way, you can only see the forest and not the trees. In fact, the single biggest step you can take towards #self-awareness and #awakening is: To begin to see yourself as an #ecosystem that is being cal...

If you are #cynical, at some point in your life, you experienced one or several serious let downs. Catastrophic sudden shocks or #disappointments relative to the positive elements of your life. For example, a situation or many that caused a catastrophic blow to your belief in others, hopes, dreams, goals, trust, faith, desires, or expectations.

When we say we want #unconditional #love, what we really mean is that we want an unconditional relationship. We want a #relationship with no consequences. We want a relationship where no matter what we do or don’t do, the other person will continue to value us and appreciate us to the degree that they will feel good towards us and never ever get into conflict suffering with us or want to leave us....
