How often to we look to others to validate our worth? How often do we allow criticism or our own regret for our behaviours, which are only a part of us, affect the way we feel about ourselves at our core? As we explore our self health, by strengthening and expanding our connections to ourselves, we will need to hold ourselves as being worthy of our love.
Healthy relationships exist when we can maintain a sense of autonomy, when we are able to feel like we have a level of self government, and the ability to make our own decisions. Last week we connected to our emotions and invited ourselves to embrace them as part of our experience. That said, we don’t need to be ruled by emotion or feeling. As we explore our self health, by strengthening and expanding our connections to ourselves, we will want to consider the power that emotional autonomy can bring.
Every relationship has fluctuating states, particularly when the intimacy deepens. We get stuck when we simplify, judge, resist or deny these ebbs and flows; the intricate weather patterns of our inner life. As we explore our self health, by strengthening and expanding our connections to ourselves, we will want to open up to our internal energies, embracing them as a part of being alive.
Every relationship needs a healthy pinch of fun in its recipe for happiness. As we explore our self health, by strengthening and expanding our connections to ourselves, we will want to remember the importance of play.
If trust is the foundation of a healthy relationship with self, a sense of belonging is the root system. As we explore our self health, by strengthening and expanding our relationships to ourselves, we will want to acknowledge and explore this primary human need.
The foundation of every solid relationship is trust. As we explore our self health, by strengthening and expanding our relationships to ourselves, we will want to secure the bonds of trust we hold with ourselves.
On Thursday May 27th, I’m launching the first of a series of practices on the Switchism YouTube channel. In each weekly practice we will be exploring our relationships with ourselves with the intention to rediscover the fullness of who we are.
How do we transform an intention into a habit?
Currently, I’m a credentialed coach building a life and career wellness practice and learning to live with presence and awareness. Several years ago, the above introduction would never have applied to me. This is my story.
