Here's what to do; you bring up an issue with a person, if you have observed from their already present behavior that they are willing to work on it. Then you watch if they're behavior changes or not. If they continue to do something which you have expressed you don't like, which violates a boundary or repeatedly doesn't meet an essential relational need of yours, then you walk away.

Watch for sustained effort to change a behavior. Things might not get totally better right away, but if a person shows with their actions that they are trying, that can be a good starting point.

If they tell you what you want to hear but continue with the behavior, that's on you that you're continuing to accept it. You're now compromising your own self-respect for the sake of staying connected. It doesn't matter if other people don't honor your boundaries if you do. Know what you will and won't put up with, what is it isn't a deal breaker for you and go from there!

I was given an opportunity by Selby Acupuncture, the clinic I work out of, to do an on-site Acupuncture treatment for an IVF embryo transfer today at RMIA in Woodbury, MN today. I was very nervous to do this, not because Acupuncture is difficult, but because of sitting with the intensity of the stress of the patient and the pressure for a successful implantation. I received a lot of great encouragement and support from the clinic I work out of however. I wasn't sure I would enjoy the process to be honest because of my nerves, but once I put the needles in, I sat with the patient while holding KD 1, which is on the bottoms of the feet and is a very relaxing acupoint. Once I settled my own nervous system, I realized what a gift it was to be with a couple at the potential conception of their child. It was a really magical experience.

We as women are portals to the unknown, accessing that sacred "in between" space. What an amazing opportunity to connect with the divine feminine! Whether conception happens or not, it felt really good to be there as a support to the potential mother, to calm her nerves and settle her nervous system so her womb can relax and ripen for the little embryo to grow.

If you are considering IVF, Selby Acupuncture is in partnership with RMIA here in Minnesota. Studies have shown Acupuncture to increase the chances of IVF pregnancy from 26% to 42% in clinical trials. This medicine is so powerful!! ♥️🥚🐇🐣🌱

On the road of healing from trauma, victims will often expend great time and energy trying to understand their abuser.

But genuinely ask yourself how much time and energy you think that person has invested into understanding you. If the answer is not much, then what if you let it go, and redirected the energy into understanding yourself? Why do you behave the way you do? What beliefs do you need to root through? What pain are you denying?

Happy Saturday. Friendly reminder to system your attachments, loosen your clinging, calm your thoughts... And allow in the state of love. I promise you, it is the most natural thing.

Bring your focus back to yourself~

What do I want? What do I need?

You don't have control over other people. The more you focus on someone else and what they're doing, the more you try to change someone else's behavior, the less power you will have, in your life.

You can only control yourself-- your thoughts and actions and healing journey.

You don't have to have it all figured out. In fact, you never will!! Accept that there is no "completion" in life-- we're all just part of the wave, part of the energy. What your ego feels is the "completion"-- achieving your goals-- is often actually counter to how energy flows in nature.

Meaning that the cycles and rhythms in life are bigger than you. No one person is meant to move mountains. But your life holds immense purpose and plays a part of a much bigger process, a bigger cycle, than you are often able to see.

This helps me to keep my doubts at bay. When this voice says; 'why do what you're doing? All these other people are already doing it.' There are a hundred IG accounts with a similar theme as mine, yet my perspective, I believe, offers something unique to rest, and even if it didn't, who cares?? It's a message I believe in, so why WOULDN'T I want to strengthen that message by adding my voice, adding my energy to that already present wave??

So show up, do what you do. Even if it's done imperfectly. It's the most important thing you can do. 🌸

Moving qi in the body is so important!!
Ideally you should move your body every day. (for at least 30 minutes) Developing a consistent yoga practice has been essential for me getting back in my body!!
