How to make friends as an adult…

10/22/2024

I love working in downtown Red Wing. I am tucked behind the Sheldon Theatre of Performing Arts with views of He Mni Can.

And Mandy's Coffee & CafeMandySimple Abundance and Simple Abundance which are my favorite places not only for lunch, but for the quick connections and conversations that make me love small towns.

Come visit me at 315 East Ave (above Midwest Dental).

One of the things I love about QNRT is that I don’t need to know anything. I don’t need the right question or the right insight, I just let the body lead the way to what is ready to be shifted.

How do I do that? A muscle test, combined with intentional activation of the nervous system (eye movement, and sound) and body points that are related to specific emotional stressors.

Sometimes our problems are so big & complex that it is hard to know where to even start. Then, we let our conscious, spinning, over-analyzing brain take a break, so our body’s wisdom can nudge us in the right direction…

I was in Dr Liz’s last spontaneous yoga for pain class and I highly recommend it.

Healing requires trying something new.

You know what your current habits, ways of thinking and being will get you. You’re there right now. If you feel great, I’m happy for you, keep it up. If you don’t feel so great, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to try new ways of being.

If you habitually push through pain, what would it be like to try tenderness? If you always avoid pain, what would it be like to try courage? It’s ok not to know, to feel scared, to not be good at it. You might feel as scared as a little baby bird, leaving the nest for the first time.

There’s no need to push or force, just start. Wrap your arms around yourself and give yourself a tender hug instead of berating yourself. Throw your chest forward courageously and say the thing you’ve always wanted to say out loud to yourself, rather than stuffing it down. You never know, you might learn to fly!

A group trying new things can be a great place to start experimenting. Spontaneous Yoga is a practice of gently, courageously venturing into the unknown together. I’m teaching live this Saturday noon to 1:00 PM EST Spontaneous Yoga for Pain: Upper Back, Shoulders, Arms, Elbows, and Wrists.
It’s a really special group of people. I’d love to have you join, if you’re not already signed up.

I have only listened to a handful of the Secular Buddhism Podcast episodes, but they have been hugely influential in how I approach my private experiences and the work I do with others.

“Buddhism is often referred to as the path of liberation. But liberation from what? From our habitual reactivity and self-inflicted suffering.”

In episode 2, Noah Rasheta talks about the unavoidable suffering that is part of the human experience, and tendency to perpetuate our own suffering by our interpretations and judgments of our experience. It’s well worth a listen. I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

(The goal of the podcast is not to convert you to Buddhism, “Secular Buddhism is about helping you to become a better whatever you already are.”)

https://secularbuddhism.com/what-is-secular-buddhism/

There are many schools of Buddhism and they all explain/teach Buddhism in different ways. Some traditions emphasize reason; others devotion; others mysticism; most combine several of these things. The end goal for all of them is to help people to arrive at a state of "awakening" or...

So many of my clients, when they start QNRT, are so very hard on themselves. Negative self-talk, second-guessing, over-analyzing, or a disconnect from self. That inner unease comes out sideways onto other people, though many tend to be harder on themselves than others.

When I was first introduced to QNRT, I was taking baby steps in trying to know myself. I had spent my whole life trying to meet other people's expectations. I was bubbly around other people but didn’t like sitting with myself.
It took a major shakeup for me to recognize what was happening and make needed changes.

QNRT was instrumental in helping me change negative patterns. I like myself now. I like being with myself now. And I Iove helping people improve their relationships with themselves.

You are enough. Right now. Just how you are.
You are deserving of acceptance and care.

I will quite literally cheer for you when your head & heart agree on those truths, and you feel your ‘enoughness’ yourself.

If you are ready to get started on that ^^^ work, schedule an intro session on my website ripplereset.com

“Today, I am a firm believer that what our children need the most is happy and fulfilled parents—not stressed, not overwhelmed, not perfect, not successful, not sacrificed to depletion, while expecting everyone else to sacrifice, too.

Children need calm and relaxed parents. Parents who cultivate and model self-care. Parents with well-regulated nervous systems. Parents who can be in the present moment and attune to their children’s emotional state. Parents who can notice their child’s sadness and not freak out or try to fix it. Parents who do not withdraw love when their children are different than the images they’ve attached to when they dreamed of having a family.

Our children want and need happy parents. Not conditionally happy parents, who are only happy when their rules are followed regardless of any cost. Not parents who sacrifice, judge themselves, and police everyone else. Not parents who are focused on the least happy child, unable to be there for the child who is thriving.

They need parents who are happy and fulfilled in their own right, guilt-free, able to give the gift of generous presence and nonjudgmental attention to their children, which is the biggest gift of all.

It is only when we give ourselves permission to pursue happiness, in whatever way it means to us, that we can extend that generosity to others.”

In codependent dynamics of patriarchal family structures, any concern with personal well-being is often viewed as selfish.
