Quote #6

Every criticism, judgment, diagnosis, and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need.

Have you ever experienced that uncomfortable gut f

Have you ever experienced that uncomfortable gut feeling, signaling that something is off?

It's that instant when you become aware that you've crossed your ✨personal boundaries✨

Trust me, it happens to everyone.

So, here are FIVE things you should know, straight from my professional (and personal) experience:

1️⃣ Heightened Anxiety: Feeling uneasy, restless, or panicked indicates that your boundaries have been crossed. Pay attention to these anxious feelings as they signal a violation of personal limits.

2️⃣ Drained or Overwhelmed: Emotional or mental exhaustion after interactions or activities suggests that your boundaries have been compromised. Consistently feeling overwhelmed indicates that others have encroached upon your limits.

3️⃣ Neglecting Self-Care: Declining engagement in self-care activities, such as physical health or meditation practices, signifies a violation of boundaries.

4️⃣Building Resentment: Increasing resentment towards others or situations indicates frequent boundary violations.

5️⃣Ignoring Intuition: Disregarding gut instincts signifies compromised boundaries.

‼️ Remember, paying attention to these signs doesn't mean you've failed.

It's an opportunity for growth and self-awareness 🌱

When you notice anxiety creeping in alongside these boundary violations, view it as your ally, guiding you back towards self-care and asserting your limits.

Love 💣ing is a manipulative tactic used by some

Love 💣ing is a manipulative tactic used by some individuals to quickly gain the affection and trust of their partner.

It involves showering the other person with ✨ compliments, gifts, and intense attention ✨ in order to create a false sense of intimacy and devotion ❤️‍🩹

Unfortunately, once the love bomber feels that they have secured their target, their behaviour often changes dramatically 🥴

If you suspect that you or someone you know is experiencing love bombing, there are a few warning signs to look out for. These can include things like:

💥 Feeling overwhelmed by your partner's affection
💥 Feeling like the relationship is moving too quickly
💥 Feeling like your partner is trying to control or isolate you from other people in your life

Building greater self-awareness of love bombing in relationships can be a challenge, but it's an important step towards building healthy and fulfilling connections 🫂

👉🏻 One way to do this is to regularly check in with yourself about your feelings and needs in the relationship.

It's also helpful to set boundaries and communicate openly with your partner about your concerns and expectations 🗣️

Ultimately, the most important thing is to ❗️ TRUST YOUR GUT ❗️

If something feels off or too good to be true, it probably is.

By staying grounded and attuned to your own needs, you can build stronger, more authentic relationships that are built on genuine love and respect 🤍

Feel like you're doing everything right with time

Feel like you're doing everything right with time management, but you're still feeling exhausted and unproductive? 😮‍💨

Instead, try managing your ⚡️ energy levels.

By doing so, you’ll sustain optimal performance in both personal and professional domains.

The Harvard Business Review's article "Manage Your Energy, Not Your Time" offers a refreshing perspective on productivity by emphasizing the importance of managing our energy levels instead of just our time.

Our ⚡️ energy is a finite resource that needs to be replenished, while ⏳ time is a fixed quantity that can't be increased. 
It identifies four types of energy:

1️⃣ Physical: This type of energy is related to our physical health and vitality.

2️⃣ Emotional: This type of energy is related to our emotional well-being.

3️⃣ Mental: This type of energy is related to our cognitive abilities and focus.

4️⃣ Spiritual: This type of energy is related to our sense of purpose and meaning in life.

SWIPE ➡️ to see examples and ways of maintaining each ⚡️ energy type.

By adopting these strategies, we can achieve greater success in all areas of our lives, while also improving our overall well-being 🌱

Poor communication is one of the most common and d

Poor communication is one of the most common and damaging issues in relationships 😳

This includes (but is not limited to) romantic partners, friends, family and colleagues.

📉 When we are unable to communicate effectively with our partners, it can lead to misunderstandings, hurt feelings, and a breakdown in trust.

However, in order to communicate effectively, ‼️we must first feel safe in our relationships‼️

We must feel that our partners are trustworthy, and that they are willing to listen to us and respect our thoughts and feelings 🫂

For instance, when people repeatedly fail to take accountability for their actions or words in a relationship, it can lead to a breakdown in communication and trust 💔

When one partner refuses to 🚫 acknowledge their mistakes, it can cause frustration, hurt, and feelings of betrayal for the other individual.

It creates a cycle of 👉🏻 blame, defensiveness, and resentment that can be difficult to break.

❤️‍🩹 When we are willing to listen to each other, express our feelings in a non-judgmental way, and take responsibility for our actions, it can lead to a more positive and productive communication process.

Thus, when we feel ✨safe in a relationship✨, we are more likely to communicate in a clear and effective way, and to work together to overcome any challenges that arise.

Friendship is not a one-way street ⛔️ It's no

Friendship is not a one-way street ⛔️

It's not just about what you can get from someone else.

It's about what you can give as well.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

That means showing up for people, listening to them, supporting them, and being there for them in both good times and bad.

I know that anxiety can make it difficult to reach out to others and take those first steps toward building friendships.

It can feel scary to put yourself out there and be vulnerable.

But remember, everyone feels a little nervous about making new friends sometimes.

Instead of focusing on your anxiety, try focusing on the other person.

Ask them questions, show interest in their life, and be present in the moment.

You might be surprised at how much easier it is to connect with someone when you're not worrying so much about yourself.

By being there for others and building meaningful connections, you'll find that you'll attract the kind of people who will be there for you too 🤍

I remember feeling completely burned out earlier in my career 😮‍💨

⏰ I was working long hours, constantly checking my email outside of work, and felt like I couldn't catch a break.

It wasn't until I started to 👆🏻 my self-awareness to protect my peace that I was able to resolve this.

I started setting boundaries, learning to say no, and prioritizing my mental health ⚠️

💡 I realized that taking care of myself wasn't selfish, but necessary.

It allowed me to be more present, productive, and happier both at work and in my personal life 🫂

If you're feeling burned out at work, there are some warning signs you should watch out for:

🚩 Feeling exhausted and unmotivated
🚩 Struggling to concentrate or stay focused
🚩 Feeling irritable or moody
🚩 Experiencing a decrease in productivity and quality of work
🚩 Losing enjoyment and fulfillment in your job

Remember to prioritize your wellbeing and take action if you're experiencing any of these signs!

If you're feeling anxious or low, it's important to remember that even in tough times, there is always good to be found.

And sometimes, those bad times can be just the wake-up call we need to appreciate the valuable things we've been overlooking 🤍

Wait a minute… Anxiety can play a significant role in how we react to others ⁉️

✅ Yep.

In fact, the things that irritate us about other people can often be a result of our own anxieties or insecurities.

✍🏻For example, if we feel anxious about our own abilities, we might become frustrated with someone who seems confident or competent in the same area.

Similarly, if we struggle with social anxiety, we might become irritated with someone who is outgoing or extroverted 🗣️

In this way, our 💥 reactions 💥 to others can be a reflection of our own anxieties and fears.

By recognizing these triggers and working to understand and address them, we can develop greater self-awareness and personal growth 🫂

Our reactions to others can serve as a valuable tool for self-discovery and improvement 🌱
