There's a sense of freedom when you are being true to yourself in your romantic relationship. When you show up authentically, you are like a balloon soaring in the sky. You are untethered. Alternatively, when you are "walking on eggshells" in your relationship, the string on your virtual balloon is tied to your partner. As you sense their tension, judgement, or disapproving countenance, you feel the tug on your string. You refrain from soaring and being the true expression of... See More

There's a sense of freedom when you are being true to yourself in your romantic relationship. When you show up authentically, you are like a balloon soaring in the sky. You are untethered. Alternatively, when you are "walking on eggshells" in your relationship, the string on your virtual balloon is tied to your partner. As you sense their tension, judgement, or disapproving countenance, you feel the tug on your string. You refrain from soaring and being the true expression of yourself. If you are YOU, you may be displeasing. So you show up as someone else, to please them. Does this sound familiar? How long can you keep this up? They are in a relationship with a false version of you, and you are not being true to yourself. There are many approaches to improving this situation. Are you ready to explore this with me?

The Surprising Thing You Need to Say to Your STRESS! Have You Said "Thank you" to your Stress Today? That's right! Say "Thank you!" to your stress, because your stress is giving you vital information about your mental and emotional state that empowers you to pivot. When you are stressed out by daily "stuff," what shows up for you in your body? Common signs of stress include: · Tense shoulders · Tight chest · Palpitations · Sweaty palms · "Butterflies" · Shortness of breath · Heaviness in chest When you feel these symptoms, it's time to PAUSE and say, "Thank you stress, for showing up in my body in a recognizable way." Without these physical cues, you may find yourself in a spiral of fearful and anxious thoughts. So now that you said "thanks" and are pausing to express gratitude, what's next? It's time to practice distancing from your thoughts to reduce your overwhelm. Begin to treat your feelings as they are - in motion. They are not immovable and will pass.

How does stress show up for you? Sometimes it's physical. Feelings may arise in your gut with an ache or urgency, in your chest with heart palpitations, or in your head with dizziness or headache. Other times stress shows up in your personality and behavior. You "lose it" and yell like a toddler having a tantrum. Maybe you feed your stress, choosing to indulge in food or drink that medicates the moment, but leaves you filled with regret. The first step... See More

How does stress show up for you? Sometimes it's physical. Feelings may arise in your gut with an ache or urgency, in your chest with heart palpitations, or in your head with dizziness or headache. Other times stress shows up in your personality and behavior. You "lose it" and yell like a toddler having a tantrum. Maybe you feed your stress, choosing to indulge in food or drink that medicates the moment, but leaves you filled with regret. The first step in finding relief from your stress is by being Aware. Which of the above possible responses to stress best describe you or the situation you are facing? Next is your Belief. Do your beliefs limit your experiences? Do you believe the stress you are experiencing is unavoidable (after all, your body is responding!) Or are you open to possibilities? Take a close look at your beliefs and see if you can broaden them. Be empowered and embrace any possibility! Once you are aware that you are in a stress response, and you believe that an alternative response is viable, the next step is to Change. Choose a different action such as conscious breathing, physical movement like jumping jacks, or removing your shoes and socks and pressing you bare feet onto the ground and allow your stress to transform.   Be aware, notice and expand your beliefs, and be open to changing. With these three steps, you will zap the power that stress has over you and your light will shine bright for all to see!
