How often do you check your reactions?

How often do you ask yourself if your reactions are helpful or hurtful?

When we are born into a hostile system, we develop hostile reactions. Therefore, we normalize unhealthy behavior and will live life reacting in such a way that we fail to recognize its negative effects on other people.

The slightest touch can communicate in such a deep way. Words may fail us, but touch is a universal language.

Hugging someone requires outgoing energy, which is love or affection, therefore, in order to offer that nurture the higher needs to have emotional space and healing energy to give.

Receiving a hug will result in comfort, taking from the hugger and adding energy to their emotional space.

Take turns getting hugs and hugging to share energy with the people that need it and be vulnerable enough to receive it too.

The slight touch on a shoulder, a firm handshake, or a nurturing hug can create and transfer positive and healing energy.

However, a push, kick, punch, or slap, can create and transfer negative harmful energy.

Being mindful of your intentions requires self awareness, emotional intelligence, and self-control.

There are moments in life where words simply are not required, however touch can still offer that need.

A single gesture of physical contact can offer a way to communicate with someone else.

Words could fail to express how deeply we feel, but touch will always connect with an open (willing) nervous system.

Being your true self can deter feelings of shame.

The fear of being judged will force us to pretend to be something we’re not and by doing so we hide our authentic self.

Be you! People will judge regardless because of their own projections. People will judge regardless of what you eat, wear, do, etc.

So be you and live your life in the fullest authentic way you can.

No one likes conflict, but the reality is that conflict needs to happen in order to get needs met and establish healthy boundaries that impact the relationship dynamics.

However, being respectful by demonstrating empathy can increase conflict resolution.

If resolution does not happen and you continue as if nothing went wrong, you might be caught in an avoidant relationship.

Nothing wrong with helping others. There is a self-rewarding component, but when does it become unhealthy.

Choosing to say yes, when you really want to say no and go against your authenticity and your intuition can have negative effects.

Self-neglect can create symptoms of resentment, anger, and depression.

DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR HEALTH!

We live in a fast paced environment with a constant flooding of various forms of stimulations.

The constant use of external stimulation creates a barrier from the internal emotions, thoughts, and physical sensations creating a barrier from within ourselves.

Therefore, making it hard to be aware of our internal world resulting in a disconnection between the mind-body process.

Essentially, take time to be in silence with yourself and notice your breath, body, thoughts, and feelings.

Often times we might get frustrated because our partner doesn’t want to change.

Yet, we continue to impose how we want them to change.

There is a difference between working together in change and pushing someone to change without cooperation.

Be mindful of your symptoms of burnout as they can be detrimental to your health.

It’s ok to be angry, not aggressive. Let’s normalize healthy anger, let it happen, but don’t be disrespectful. If you struggle staying regulated, practice journaling the anger first then take three deep breaths.

Avoid internalizing and aggression.

Failure to express how someone made you feel and then becoming reactive to that person can create an unfair environment.

Verbalize your concerns to encourage full transparency and allow the other person a chance to respond.
