May 25, 2015. Take Your Own Advice. When I say something in a counseling session, I sometimes think, Damn. Thats good Kathy. You should do that yourself. Seriously, I do think like this. It is much easier is to recognize problems in someone elses life than in our own. Its not arrogance. Its perspective. Its human. In this recent article, . The Voice of Reason. 0160;it describes how using 3rd person language is a powerful version of self-talk. Rather than, Im ok. I can handle it, phrases, I would ...Wheth...

January 18, 2016. What if Martin Luther King Jr. Had a Dream, came off of the Mountaintop. What if he caved to the pressure of self doubt. And journaled his thoughts instead in some quiet quaint safe place, smiled deeply, closed the front cover, put down his pen, and tucked his journal neatly in his bottom left drawer under some papers? What if he knew he was right, but was just too tired to try fighting Goliath? Martin Luther King Jr. December 28, 2014. He had the blood of kings in his veins. Or the uni...

Beyond The Crap (Because Relationships Matter)

http://www.becauserelationshipsmatter.net/2015/01/beyond-the-crap.html

Laquo; The Thing. Give Yourself Permission ». January 15, 2015. I meet a lot of people who try to feel good to avoid feeling bad. It doesnt work, and its damn tragic; avoidance prolongs the pain. Dealing with negative emotions is a part of being human. It just is. Although its uncomfortable, dealing with crap can be positive and very helpful. We might not be able to change the person, the job, or our circumstances. We can change how we react to it. Move beyond the crap. Make it a great year! On Care Enou...

Get a Grip (Because Relationships Matter)

http://www.becauserelationshipsmatter.net/2015/04/get-a-grip.html

Laquo; Give Yourself Permission. Take Your Own Advice ». April 26, 2015. When we feel out of control emotionally, were emotionally unbalanced. Anytime were out of balance, we need to steady ourselves before trying to balance again. A good place to start is to get a grip on the basics. Sleep Exercise. Budget. Although all of these areas are strongly tied to emotions, and its easier said than done, its a critical place to start.

Sit With It (Because Relationships Matter)

http://www.becauserelationshipsmatter.net/2014/10/sit-with-it.html

The Thing ». October 24, 2014. When we feel like crap, we want to make it stop. We stay busy and distract ourselves to avoid feeling it, we eat or drink or do anything to numb ourselves to avoid feeling it, or we have an anger outburst or panic attack as a reaction to feeling it. We can run, we can hide, but it's still there. Whatever we do is an illusion to making the crap feelings go away. All of the reactive stuff we do trying to get rid of crap feelings creates more problems, often bigger ones! My na...

The Thing (Because Relationships Matter)

http://www.becauserelationshipsmatter.net/2014/12/the-thing.html

Laquo; Sit With It. Beyond The Crap ». December 12, 2014. The Thing I know I should do:. The right thing, the helpful thing. The thing I dont have to hide, worry about, fight about, or regret. The thing where I end up feeling good about myself. The Thing I feel like doing:. The easy thing, the thing that avoids conflict or upsetting someone, the thing I do out of guilt. The no self-control thing, the thing that causes conflict, the thing I do out of bitterness or resentment. The Thing I actually do.

Life (Because Relationships Matter)

Laquo; Walking On Eggshells. Sit With It ». September 16, 2014. At 10:46 am on August 7, 2014, Alice Katherine Stoppenhagen was born. Two weeks earlier than expected, she was 7 pounds, 3 ounces, and 21 inches long. And yes, I have a picture. Its one of my favorites of the 1,873,297 pictures that have already been taken of her to date. She took a breath, and her life begins. Every second of every day, around the globe, babies are born. Stretching my brain that far hurts. Posted at 06:30 AM. My name is Kat...

Limits & Freedom (Because Relationships Matter)

http://www.becauserelationshipsmatter.net/2014/07/limits-freedom.html

Laquo; When Conversation Becomes Abusive. Walking On Eggshells ». July 02, 2014. When we accept the limits of life, the more freedom we have to live. Its counter-intuitive. Without limits or with limits on everything, we have lessened freedom. The Limitless Life - Say No to yourself. If you do whatever you want, whenever you want, youre gonna spin out of control. Give yourself some limits. Great freedom comes when we find the balance between limiting ourselves and letting go and live. Posted at 11:59 AM.
