Elections 🗳️can be stressful for all due to the emotions stirred up and the core values being defended or offended. Stress produces Cortisol and it is not good for you. High stress can lead to poor health outcomes.

Take just 2-5 min daily for YOU!

If you decide to be with a person, don’t try to change who they are. Work on you. You are not responsible for healing anyone’s wounds but yours.

Accept and be yourself completely and find someone who matches you.

Withstanding regular misunderstandings or bad moments. What is your agreement with your partner? Can you change it to work for both parties? This is how you show Love AND Respect.

You must match and be able to accept and love them through their flaws.

If you cannot love someone the way they are Don’t be selfish…walk away.

Allow new beginnings so you can reach love in an authentic non-wound based relationship. 🤯

Relationships are not about control or fixing anyone but effortlessly desiring to serve up LOVE.

Did you know that YOUR MIND and EMOTIONS need the same time care and attention as your physical body. Sometimes your physical health is impacting your mental health and sometimes your mental health; negative emotions, trauma, grief or negative thinking is effecting your body (i.e. how you eat, quality or amount of sleep, pain, illness, heart issues, excessive weight gain from emotional eating or belly fat from stress).

Seek the help or support of a licensed counselor or life coach to help deal with your challenges and issues before your issues deal with you.

Just passing along one of the tools by Mark Olze (Straight out of ICT) that I have shared with couples for over 13 yrs.

PLEDGE Talk 🙏🏽 means
❤️Major in the Cs: COMMUNICATION using CURIOSITY and CREATE a safe space for CONNECTION.

❤️Remember- UNDERSTANDING, not Agreement is the goal. Take turns and don’t over-talk each other.

▶️As the “Listener”, You can only ask questions or guess the emotions/feelings of the “speaker”. Wait for clarity or correction from the speaker

▶️Try to PLEDGE Talk with a simple topic like your favorite dessert 🧁 🍰

▶️ ▶️As the “listener”, you can’t share your favorite dessert or take your turn talking until they GIVE you the role of “speaker.”

⚠️Then move on to the more serious topics. GO to therapy, to get to the root of detachment or conflict…even if your partner doesn’t want to go with you.

In all thy getting get understanding. Let patience, forgiveness and LOVE lead you. Be honest. If you don’t have love…you have nothing. ❤️🙏🏽

Grief & Loss is a constant- breakups, death, change….

It can be overwhelming if we try to ignore or stuff our feelings. Grief is one way that our love for something or someone is respected.

Here is one way that can acknowledge and honor your grief.

We must learn to grieve well 💚🙏🏽

We often hear that there is no structure for going through the stages of grief, and for the most part this is true as your mind and body will ride the waves as they come – in no particular order. However, there are methods that can help us manage those waves so they
