Mojo Monday: Being Diminished

When our efforts, opinions, wishes or presence are reduced in importance by someone else, we are diminished. It's like turning the volume down on your worth over time.

Being diminished can be one of the most painful relationship experiences. Why?

- It's often a drawn-out process
- It's covert or not openly stated
- It causes you to question your own judgement about what's happening
- It can be part of gaslighting
- It reduces self-esteem

So, let's know our self-worth, yes be available to have our opinions and wishes debated, if necessary, but never lose your shine, because someone else is trying to dull or diminish you.

Mojo Monday: Guilt and obligation

We have all felt guilt at some point.

Of course, if we have truly caused some harm then we must recognise it, make amends if possible and learn from it.

However, my experience in counselling, is that ongoing and unnecessary guilt can cause anxiety and depressive states and in most cases the person hasn't done anything wrong but makes themselves feel obliged to be responsible for someone else's feelings. Good emotional boundaries are essential here.

So today, fling off the burden of unnecessary guilt, lighten your emotional load and ramp up good self-care.

This weekend will see families across Australia gather to celebrate Easter. But for many who aren't in contact with their family, grieving or have a tense relationship with family, this weekend can be the cause of a lot of anxiety.

It's vital to set strong emotional boundaries, prioritise yourself and reach out if you need support.

Mojo Monday: Connection

Catching up with friends and family is the 'ah ha' of feeling good. The rekindling of friendship and conversation means so much to the human spirit.

- Being understood
- Feeling respected
- Knowing there is a safe place to speak without judgemnet
- Being able to be your authentic self

These are the gifts of good connection.

In our very busy world, there are many excuses to delay our beautiful connections. Yet, they can be the lifeblood of our meaning in life and our feelings of sharing and being heard.

So, let's say 'hello' when we can and be part of our positive 'circle of connection'.

Mojo Monday: Neglect and Rejection

When people have suffered neglect in life, especially in formative years, they often develop low self-esteem, the feeling that their needs don't matter. These people often become 'people pleasers' and can avoid emotionally close relationships to avoid rejection from others.

This becomes an emotionally dysfunctional cycle - where the person who was neglected and felt rejected becomes the one who rejects others.

If there is someone in your life who is a safe, caring and present person with your best interests at heart - find the courage to let them in and perhaps be open to what trust can feel like.

Mojo Monday: Earning Love

Many of us have had a difficult relationship with love from our parents, community or partner.

It's a very common experience to feel we must do certain things or look a certain way to earn the approval of others, which we can associate with and interpret as love.

Freedom comes from knowing your worth and that your relationships need to be places fostering support and growth - not anxiety.

It's relentless. Every day we are bombarded with bad news from around the world. But when we continue scrolling or turn the news off, we're often filled with guilt and helplessness. This is known as 'compassion fatigue'.

But I've noticed another reaction as a result of this fatigue, which I have coined 'compassion anaesthesia'.

This is a result of misplaced shame, of feeling powerless to help or guilt that we're not suffering.

For many experiencing compassion anaesthesia, the onslaught of bad news in the media and on social media becomes an external trigger for other stresses causing further shut down.

Many react to this overwhelm by shutting down and avoiding responsibilities, sometimes turning to destructive behaviours and damaging coping strategies, such as neglecting household responsibilities and distancing oneself from loved ones causing relationship conflict and breakdowns heightening stress.

The first step to managing compassion fatigue and anaesthesia is recognising the response to begin addressing the root cause.

Mojo Monday: Pain

Physical pain is often a sign we need to take notice of something. What's happening, how did it happen, and what to do about it?

Emotional pain should be the same.

This can include feelings of sadness, regret, anger, resentment, guilt, loneliness, anxiety, unworthiness or shame.

If you are experiencing these feelings on a regular basis to the degree that it affects your life and wellbeing then please don't accept the pain and accommodate to it - something needs to be understood and changed. This week, ask yourself these questions:
- What aspect of your life or relationship aren't supporting you?
- What can you do about it?
- Who can support you to make the changes you need?

Mojo Monday: Compassion

It might seem odd to hear, but many have told me they fear they are giving too much compassion and are overwhelmed by the challenges others face.

It's important to remember compassion is about kindness, including kindness to ourselves.

The key to managing this overwhelm is to be present, but to not be an 'emotional sponge' by getting absorbed in their drama. Let them know you are there for them, but don't take on too much of their suffering.

Despite Cyclone Alfred's downgrade to a tropical low, many felt its wrath with power outages and flash flooding across Southeast Queensland and Northern New South Wales.

While we rebuild, it's common for some in our community to experience feelings of distress.

Something I anticipate seeing is guilt for struggling, particularly if the person struggling perceives others to have suffered more.

Any loss or trauma, regardless of the experience of others, is valid and should be treated as such. It's vital to acknowledge your feelings of distress and seek support.
