We are made of many different parts that equal a unique puzzle. Not a single piece of your puzzle is unworthy of love.

Don’t ever forget that 🖤🧩

Note to self ❤️‍🩹

When people show us who they are and what their intentions are we should believe them.

Pouring more of yourself into someone who won’t take accountability or responsibility for their parts, and ignoring your feelings and needs is a form of self abandonment - this reaffirms certain core beliefs we may hold about ourselves and reinforces them to be true. It also won’t change the other person, if anything it enables them to continue.

Take that love you give so freely to others and pour it back into you. The results won’t disappoint 😘

Happy Monday 🌸

Over the past few years I’ve had the opportunity to support people who are dating for the first time or for the first time in a long time. It seems a lot of the dating advice comes from a high school manual full of complicated tips for getting someone to be interested in you.

Toxic advice of not texting first, being mysterious, playing hard to get, making people chase you etc. is manipulation and will only keep your nervous system on edge.

Changing who you are and doing drastic things to get attention is behaviour that is rooted in our need to feel chosen by somebody else; to be “picked” or “special”.

But in reality what you’re doing is showing them and yourself that you don’t believe you deserve to be chosen in the first place.

Being yourself is the best strategy for finding genuine connections you’re looking for.

How many times have you heard:

“you're my good kid, I don't have to worry about you!"
“you're successful and confident, you wouldn't know how I feel"
“You're so strong and resilient, I don't know how you do it"

These are just a few examples of statements that are well intended but can be dismissive and silencing.

Some people struggle to ask for help because they've been the helper and the rock in other's lives, and this is how they've built relationships- it's a protective factor.

Throughout life they've experienced an unbalance of give and take. Their instinct is to then "figure it out on their own". Self-reliance is all they've ever known. Check in with the rocks of your life.. They'll appreciate it.

For all my helper's out there, ask for help because there is no reward for doing it all on your own ❤️‍🩹
