Yesterday...
Don’t let yesterday use up too much of today.
— Cherokee Proverb
My favourite therapist says that if we’re willing to formally address some of our old stuff, we’ll be better armed to leave some of the past in the past and better manage our emotions moving forward. Just sayin’ :) Hugs.

I keep thinking we’re more capable and talented than we realize. I know I’ve surprised myself a few times when I’ve been in a bind and had no one to lean on. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs.

Deal breakers...
I was talking to my girlfriends about dating and relationships yesterday. One of my friends is single and contemplating an old flame and the other is presently on a do-over and frustrated again with some of the incompatibilities. The conversation got me thinking about my own experiences and how I landed the perfect relationship. It’s so perfect that even when it’s not perfect, it’s still perfect. Let me explain, Lol ;) Well, my last relationship ended very badly and I own at least 50% of the blame. Deep down I knew I needed to move on, but I cowardly dragged my heels. In truth, I wasn’t sure that better existed. The relationship was quite pleasant and he was a decent guy. We never fought and life was pretty good. While I was pondering, he fell in love with someone else and the relationship came to a crap end. Lucky for me, there was a monumental silver lining. I was able to, without a shadow of a doubt, identify my critical deal breakers, and in a big hurry too. I never wanted to go through the wrong relationship again and I never ever wanted to go through a humiliating break up again. Needless to say, I wrote a comprehensive list outlining the perfect partner/relationship for me, noting the deal breakers, must haves, plus nice to have’s as well. I kept refining my list and in about a year I found the perfect person/relationship. I landed the nice to have’s as well. Sweet. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. xo

Too much woman...
You’ll be too much woman for every man you meet
until you meet your soulmate.

Pretty heart-warming actually. I wish I could tell my younger self this. Just sayin’ ;) Hugs. XO

Make peace...
Make peace with your broken pieces.
— r.h. Sin (Reuben Holmes is a feminist author who found literary success on Instagram. His inspiration came in part from a bad relationship with a woman whose heart had long since been broken by her father).
My favourite therapist says that we have to face and make piece with our troublesome past issues before we can find fulfilment in our most important relationships. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO

Find a way...
If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way.
If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.
— Jim Rohn (American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker. He presented seminars worldwide for more than 40 years. Rohn mentored many influential motivational speakers; Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup book series), Brian Tracy (author of over 70 books), T Harv Eker (known for his theories on wealth and motivation, author of Millionaire Mind)).
Maybe that’s the key. If we keep making excuses about something, then maybe we should move on to something we’re more passionate about. Just sayin’ :) Hugs.

Don’t rush things...
Don’t rush things that need time to grow.
— Unknown
I tend to be on fast forward in life, so waiting is really not my strong suit. Fortunately, life experience has been a great teacher. What I’ve learned, above all, is that some stressors and goals require a much longer term view, a little grace and empathetic patience; caring for an elderly parent, waiting for and believing there is a perfect life partner, climbing the corporate ladder, buying a home. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO

Life is a balance...
Life is a balance of holding on and letting go.

My favourite therapist embraces the spiritual because he says there are simply things we cannot control. He says we cannot change our legacy; where we were raised and by whom, our experiences to date, our hard-wired personality traits. So I guess we hold onto our hopes and dreams and focus on what we can manage. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO

Being real...
Never apologize for saying what you feel.
That’s like saying sorry for being real.
— Unknown
I took some group relationship courses with therapist Joel Brass, and wow - I learned a LOT! Joel teaches very healthy and effective communication skills. We had to practice “addressing” conflict one-on-one, which was very intimidating. Initially, I was resistant to the idea, but other brave souls in the room were willing to begin the uncomfortable conversation. In the end, it was comforting to be heard and to understand where the other person was coming from. I learned that if we each explain the experience we’re having and how we’re feeling, it’s not so scary and judgy. Just sayin’ :) Hugs. XO

Remain calm...
One of the best lessons you can learn in life is to master how to remain calm.

I’ve picked up a couple of tips from Ekhart Tolle:
1) Do not resist what life brings
2) Strive to remain in the moment
When I’m feeling stressed, I try to remember these pointers. It works pretty well actually. Just sayin’ ;)
