Telling the truth with love:

Many of us were raised with two choices if we were unhappy about something in a relationship.

Either shut up about it and keep the peace or let it rip with uncontained (and often hurtful) self expression. Both are losing strategies that can drain the love.

The winning strategy is a combo of both: speak the truth, but with love and kindness. This means naming how you feel and what you’d ideally prefer and requesting it without using mean or accusing language.

An example is “I feel upset about X, I know you probably don’t mean it the way I’m experiencing it but I’d really like it if you could Y instead”.

Ideally the other person can hear a request more effectively when we frame it like that. Of course not everyone has the emotional maturity to listen and respond well.

Of course there are times to shut up and keep peace. And there are times to speak up with love for the sake of persevering a relationship. Use wisdom in the timing but make sure the truth gets some airtime in the right way.

Extra 10% joy?

What would it take to increase your daily joy by just 10%? We’re talking simple, doable things only.

An extra look at nature? Checking out the artwork in the sky? Certain music on? Some memories, perhaps in photos? A nostalgia trip?

An activity with friends, or family, or pets, or totally on your own? Or planning an event or trip? Memories of a great trip?

Extra rest or recovery? More exercise or less? A change of something? Time out or away? Meditation or trance? Silence?

Think of what might be a bit too extra right now, and what might be missing. Can you name one thing (or perhaps a few) for 10% extra joy?

Monday recalibration:

Things can seem different when we feel different.

How’s your energy? Sleep? Rest? Enjoyment? Satisfaction? Meaning? Overall mental load?

If anything’s a bit off, then know your inner radar might be off today.

Make any cognitive adjustments or allowances that you might need. Sometimes our lens on the world needs a check up.

Moment of peace:

It can be one of those many pleasant things, just taking a mini moment of peace, so look deeply into my words here, as I speak slowly to you, and you can breathe in, as you listen, and hold it, and now as you breathe out, letting go all of the build up, releasing tension now, allowing concerns to fade into the metaphor of the back burner for the moment, or maybe for even longer, your inner mind knows just what it needs, a little space, a little peace, and you know, and I know too, that the little space of peace gives clarity, the channel is cleared, there’s a break in transmission, just a time for nothingness, or reflection, or flow, or even just silence, and that can feel very, very good, just taking a breath, nothing bothers you, nothing disturbs you now, and you can carry that peace into the next moment, and the next, and maybe even a few more, until peace expands to fill more of the pleasant moments with clear, calm, confident power, you feel it, now let it fuel you as you mentally re-enter your day. Enjoy.

Reminder.

Please remember how great you are. Think of your many talents and gifts and achievements. Think about how your 13 year old self would feel if it had known it would be this version of you as an adult. Pretty impressive right?

The universe is working:

Actually, the universe is working for YOU. You know it.

Even when things are tough, the little gifts or insights show up, the right people arrive to help, information suddenly comes your way, often from the most unlikely sources.

When these gifts show up, say THANK YOU UNIVERSE. Maybe the more we reinforce our gratitude, the more open we are to the help that shows up.

Life will always have its ups and downs. But please notice the gifts and the angels that appear (often in disguise as something quite neutral) right when we need them.

Thank you Universe.

No imposters!

Imposter syndrome?? Just remember that the true imposters and the confident competents never even question themselves. Only the perfection and achievement oriented competent people bother with that racket. So you’re ok.

Yes you can.

Stare right into my words here, as I speak slowly to your inner mind, and take in a long deep breath now, and hold it, that’s right, and now release it, letting go of all the toxic gunk thoughts, all the other stuff, all the past muck, anything and everything you need to release, it leaves you now, floating away in a mist, into the distance and gone, and that tiny part of you, that thinks maybe you can, maybe you can handle the thing, do the thing, cope with the thing, embrace the thing, kick the thing’s ass, make a success of the thing, you can, that part listens closely now, it’s time to level up, and you can, fears evaporate in that mist now, and you can, can you not, yes you will, you can, you know you can, that belief in yourself, your own special gifts and abilities, that belief grows stronger here, now, proving that you can, you have form, you have runs on the board, you can own this, you can do this, you’ve got this and you absolutely can. So now just do. You can.

Free-floating anxiety and neuro divergence:

Free-floating anxiety is a generalized feeling of inner tension, fear, worry, dread or restless discomfort that may come and go at odd times.

Many people with neuro divergent systems experience the free float of anxiety quite regularly. Of course neurotypical systems can experience it too.

The anxiety may appear as random or may in fact be a subconscious clue to system overload or under-load.

Boredom can trigger the free-float, as can tiredness, exhaustion and overwhelm. Doing too much, doing too little, eating too much, eating too little, even sleeping too much or too little: all can trigger.

Sometimes it’s anticipatory anxiety, like the Sunday afternoon feeling where the subconscious maybe weirdly dreading the end of the weekend or the routine change back to weekdays.

Naming the free/float is a good start. Then ask what the signal might represent in terms of too much, not enough or anticipation of something or nothing in the calendar.

Then do something active such as discuss, walk, play, listen, tidy, rest, watch, create, breathe; something that moves you towards where you’d like to be.

Most of all: mark yourself as safe, this feeling is coded as unpleasant but not dangerous. It’s ok.

The pets have advice:

The pets say to listen to them. Please. They say they are content with what is. They don’t fear the future. They enjoy each day. They express needs without fear or shame.

They love their food and their walks and their fun and their people, without fail, no matter what.

They lower our blood pressure and cortisol just by being near, and even more via touch.

They run when energised, rest when tired, investigate when curious and play when inspired. And they just love. Just coz. Sounds like good life advice really.
