Blaming ourselves and others isn't serving anyone! It just keeps us in the same unhealthy patterns that keep us where we don't want to be.

Emotional triggers keep us from listening with love. I had to dig deep to help me see just how this one affects my relationships.

We are not responsible and accountable for others treat people. We are responsible and accountable for how we treat ourselves and others. Don't forget your humanity. Just because someone else is making unhealthy choices doesn't mean we need to.

Sometimes I just need a little reminder that I'm making choices. I know whoever is meant to hear this will know it's exactly the reminder they needed. It's one I know I need on a regular basis.

This podcast is recorded as a conscious reminder anytime you need to tell yourself a new story. We don't have to suffer in any story we are telling ourselves if we CHOOSE not to—we can tell ourselves a new story.

We can't change each other, but we can change any beliefs we are carrying that don't serve our highest good. We can get seeds from others to plant in our gardens of our souls. Today's episode is about focusing on what we CAN change.

So many people are grieving right now. Grieving is an essential part of loss, and it's not always about death. Listening with love is just one of the ways we can show up to help.

Nature has a way of answering our questions if we get quiet enough to listen.

Committing to self-care is a personal choice to live a happier and healthier life. When we don't take care of ourselves, it's very easy to becomes victims of life. Self-care helps us set healthy boundaries and have healthy relationships. It's WORTH it!

Forgiving ourselves might feel like the hardest thing to do, but it is ESSENTIAL for healthy relationships with ourselves and others. When we don't forgive ourselves, we turn to self-abuse. When we self-abuse, not only can we not listen with love, but we open the door to accepting abuse in different areas of our lives.

Narcissistic abuse is everywhere we look, but how do we know when we are contributing to it? Knowing how narcissists use social media is a way to help us not contribute to their self-indulgent attacks on others. This episode is close to my heart.

We all have experiences that help us open our eyes to see how we are creating our own suffering. This is a glimpse into some of the pivotal experiences that helped me get out of my own way and choose a different road. Here is where I figured out freedom is an inside job.

*In my search for who originally said this quote, Cathy Yardley is who pops up, but from what I found on-line, she said it in her book, Write Every Day  published in 2013. I got this advice back in 2008, so I'm not exactly sure who is the originator. It was and is a very common saying in 12-step programs.
