Make Your Damn Bed

So many people think that avoiding confrontation means not bringing anything up that may inconvenience the people around us but in reality, ignoring it is likely the reason things escalate from potential to actual conflicts. We can’t stonewall (or deny) an issue into nonexistence. If something is calling for your attention. Give it attention. Ignoring it will only cause more drama in the long run....

How easy going are you ?

Picking at an old wound will only cause it more trouble. But ignoring it when it’s acting up isn’t healthy either. Focus on the wound when you need to.

The strategy I use is finding what I will be nostalgic for later, while I am in the moment . I look around for the things I will remember and miss years down the road.

Sometimes, shifting environments is essential to our growth. Leaving behind a job or a partner that isn’t right for you is not only strong and beautiful, but highly recommended, but if you’re the type to keep hopping from relationship to relationship, job to job, or city to city in search of something better, you may be disappointed in your results.

While it’s incredibly important to sustain a clean house for your mental and physical health - it’s also important to remember that if you don’t keep it clean well enough for your liking, it’s not a morally damning event.

Dichotomous thinking is manageable and even though it may seem like the end of the world, it isn’t. As long as you remember - We are not defined by what we think.

Healthy relationships with open communication means: We shouldn’t have to over-explain ourselves but we also shouldn’t silently suffer. We shouldn’t feel desperate for attention and we really shouldn’t feel lonely because of our partners. Everyone just wants to feel seen and heard. That includes you and your partner. If we can bridge that gap and provide that for everyone involved - ideally all of...

Sex isn’t meant to be a performance. It is meant to be an enjoyable, pleasurable experience for consenting adults. Slow down and enjoy the experience and don’t let anyone shame you for how you go about doing that. Or not doing that if that so happens to be your choice. Because that is the point. It’s your choice.

Day 91 || Stifling your personality to become more palatable only serves to divide you further from meeting your soul mates. You are only making yourself more attractive to people who may not necessarily even like you if you ever get tired of wearing the mask. Doing this says you’re willing to commit your entire future to being a fake ass phony with a wall up because you’re too scared people may n...

Day 90 || Silence is complicity. Staying silent only serves to perpetuate toxic behaviors. If you aim to diffuse and redirect rather than to add to confrontation, you can usually avoid escalating the conflict and becoming a target. Just remember there is a time and a place to intervene and only you can predict if getting involved will cause more harm than good. Sometimes it’s kinder to mind your b...

Day 89 || Soul mates are the humans that will meet you at each new energetic level as well. The idea that you may miss out your one true soul mate stems from a place of scarcity when you could be experiencing life from a place of abundance. I prefer the world where I will get to spend time and experience several soulmates to the world where I limit myself to just one that I may or may not ever get...

Day 87 - living in a home means there are recurring responsibilities that are unavoidable. If you are not willing to invest time and energy, you should be comfortable investing money, or vise versa.

Ideally, through open communication and dialogue you can establish a system that fee...

Own your mistakes. Nobody is perfect and that includes you. It takes integrity to tell others when you mess up. It takes a brave person to admit they don’t know, they didn’t understand, they’re still learning, or they just plain dropped the ball. It may be daunting or overwhelming to admit we are at fault in a negative situation, but courage is one of the most important tools in growth. Make Your...

Niceness has one interest: keeping the peace but peace can not be found if we are not challenging ourselves to think critically about the impact of our behaviors. Niceness may be the easier option in the short term but isn’t sustainable. It enables people to stay in comfortable toxic patterns. Kindness challenges people to do and be better, which has a ripple effect on the rest of the world. Ideal...
