Confidence is Everything

-
Learning to balance your life and nurture personal needs is the road to fulfillment. By taking care of yourself and living out your needs results in self confidence which is the key to happiness. The problem is that we are conditioned to neglect our own desires and put ourselves on the back burner as we please others in the hopes of not disappointing others and gaining affirmation. My work with my clients is to assist them with putting themselves first. If your core and foundation is not strong than you can not truly love others and support others authentically. You need to truly love yourself. This can only be accomplished by setting limits, confronting others, and asserting your needs.

True acceptance of ourself doesn't mean dismissing your actions or motives, it means allowing yourself to see the path in which your behaviors are processed, motivated and acted upon.

The acceptance comes from a place that we are flawed and do make mistakes, not just now but always. This allows us to be OPEN to our perception of the world. Thus, creating a development model of growth. An example of such growth happens in a normal occurrence when possibly triggered by our significant other. Let's say they activate a reactive behavior within us after making us feel disrespected, less than or not worthy. This emotional response is subtle but ingrained in our inner narrative and defense mechanisms.   So now I have been triggered by my mate and I respond in an angry fashion, possibly making them feel less than with shame. Now we have two individuals triggered and communicating i

The Healthy Couple

                                          Clear and authentic communication is essential for a healthy relationship. A mindful partnership involves a place of understanding from where an individual is coming from. Clear boundaries and a respective responsibility of each other, as being unique is central for growth and belongingness. If a connection is fragmented, individuals cannot exist as one, than the relationship cannot be whole. Partners develop a dance around one another’s problems and develop dysfunctional patterns that are projected on the partner and world. Therefore, a healthy partnership revolves around letting go (being vulnerable) and accepting the relationship for what it is, who they are, and how they engage. Acquiring these attributes involves the removal of need, fear, and obsession. If we allow ourselves to be vulnerable than we allow ourselves to make a deep connection. In addressing this concept back to direct communication, a disagreement is not about wi
