Most people don’t randomly decide to avoid difficult conversations …..instead, they’ve learned to stay away from conflict as a way to avoid painful feelings they haven’t yet learned how to manage. Still, avoiding topics leaves the other partner left in the dark, confused, and/or unresolved…..feelings which don’t foster relationship closeness.
At the same time, there are times when it makes sense to postpone a topic. Sometimes the timing is off, one or both partners are too triggered to address the topic with emotional safety, or someone needs space to get more clear about what they think and feel.
It’s not always easy to know when it’s avoidance and when it’s healthy postponing (and sometimes it’s some of both), but here are some guidelines. ❤️

Powerful message ✨ Checking in on those around you. Ask, Pause, and Listen . Sometimes we feel we need to have a solution to others problems, most of the time they just want to be heard.

Every day is a new start, we don’t have to wait for a New Year to remind ourselves of the importance of Self Care.

So many people are still feeling a lethargy, a couldn't-be-bothered, hard to get motivated energy, in the wake of the pandemic. This creates the perfect storm for ruts and bad habits to develop. It can then lead to feeling down and elevated levels of anxiety. So..... want to have better days? Make small, gradual adjustments. One of the identifiers for lethargy is empty scrolling on your phone. Put it down. W**d the garden for 20 minutes. Go for a brisk walk. Tidy that cupboard you've been intending to organise for months. Cook something healthy rather than reaching for something handy. These things won't transform your life or lift you out of a depression, but they will make you feel a tiny bit more positive about your day. And little by little, you'll feel better and brighter and more productive...and the grey clouds will lift. 🌞🌞🌞
