I love learning, reading books that teach things in different ways. Often times, I find something that I want to share with Jeff, I want him to try the new tactic with me.⁣
⁣
Often times he's not into it. Sometimes he is.⁣
⁣
Do you want to know what my mind reminds me of when I want to suggest implementing something new? All of the times he's said no.⁣
⁣
So when I wanted to ask him to participate in an exercise I have my clients do (hint: huddle), I collected a lot of evidence that had me believing he wouldn't participate.⁣
⁣
I ruminated over, suggesting it for WEEKS.⁣
⁣
Fear had me frozen, scared, not doing what I wanted to do.⁣
⁣
This week I'm going to talk all about how fear pushes us away from our dreams, follow along to find out if I ever made the suggestion.⁣
⁣
What is it you've been wanting to do in your relationship, but aren't doing? I will be sharing mine all week, let's make improving our relationships FUN, not humiliating, share yours!⁣

How about when you do something positive for yours

How about when you do something positive for yourself, recognize it, appreciate yourself.⁣
⁣
So many of you have done my Abundant Love mini-course with your partner but how many of you have done it with yourself as the partner?⁣
⁣
I highly encourage you to give it a go. ⁣
⁣
Imagine that, a love list that is all about how you love and trust yourself!⁣
⁣
Let's AwakenYou.⁣

I love using the clone example when I'm talking to

I love using the clone example when I'm talking to someone about their relationship with themselves, try it with me.⁣
⁣
Close your eyes.⁣
⁣
Imagine yourself standing face to face with yourself.⁣
⁣
What would you tell yourself about how you're going to feel tomorrow when you don't do what you said you'd do, again. ⁣
⁣
Would you tell yourself to take just one step towards that thing you wanted to do? ⁣
⁣
Maybe you write that love note that feels so inauthentic because you haven't written one since who knows when.⁣
⁣
Maybe it's working on that love list course that you downloaded for free and stuck in the drawer to do some other day.⁣
⁣
Maybe it's asking for twenty minutes alone, without any devices to get to know each other, no strings attached.⁣
⁣
What would you do for yourself if you trusted yourself and did it regardless of how scary it feels right now?⁣

How do you have a great relationship with someone

How do you have a great relationship with someone who obviously doesn’t like you?⁣
⁣
They don't respond to your texts.⁣
⁣
They don't call you back.⁣
⁣
They are always busy when you invite them to a socially distant catch-up date.⁣
⁣
What they do has nothing to do with how you need to feel about them my loves. ⁣
⁣
Yes, it is 100% possible to love someone who doesn't love you back the way you "expect" them to.⁣
⁣

It often takes something drastic for us to decide

It often takes something drastic for us to decide it's time to do something to start repairing our love relationship.⁣
⁣
Our partner tells us it's over; they're tired, bored, and no longer in love. ⁣
⁣
When this happens, I see two common responses—withdrawal or desperate people-pleasing to get the other to love them, and neither work.⁣
⁣
Withdrawl gets you more of the same, and desperate people-pleasing will eventually get you more of the same.⁣
⁣
In AwakenYou, we don't use bandaids; we get to the root cause of the problem and learn how to create lasting change.⁣
⁣
If you're done with the exhausting work of trying to get someone else to change, to love you, and ready to dive into the life changing adventure of creating change from within yourself, then I would love to talk to you about it. If you are looking for something that will make your life fun and exciting again, you're in the right place, we don't do shame and guilt.⁣

"Christine, how do you know if you trust yourself?

"Christine, how do you know if you trust yourself?"⁣
⁣
Trust in yourself is one of the things that signifies having a great relationship with yourself. ⁣
⁣
Discovering how much I didn't trust myself was one of the key pieces that really opened up my eyes to how I viewed myself.⁣
⁣
In this world, we often think that self-criticism is a form of self-love; we think the criticism will make us improve. So we speak negatively about physical features, our mannerisms, or lack of smooth moves thinking it's not self-loathing.⁣
⁣
So, do you trust yourself? Do you do the things you say you're going to do? Do you have big dreams that you never figure out how to make a reality? ⁣
⁣
I've got you boo; it's ok because I know how to solve for that. Let me show you how to start trusting yourself and AwakenYou.⁣

Requiring someone else to be the one who fills you

Requiring someone else to be the one who fills you up every day is putting your mental health in the hands of someone else's day.⁣
⁣
Our partners don't always have our best interest in mind at all moments, and if they did, it would be weird; you'd have a robot partner.⁣
⁣
Please don't make it their job, make it yours.⁣
⁣
Knowing how to fill yourself up allows your partner’s love to be the cherry on the top of a whole bunch of goodness.⁣
⁣
When you learn how to fill yourself up, it means you are 100% in control of your mental health, which makes some of us feel a bit nervous.⁣
⁣
Nervous because they've never learned how to treat themselves well, and they fear if they rely on themselves, they'll feel like garbage for the rest of their life.⁣
⁣
That's why investing in your mental health and wellness in the best thing you can spend your money on. Learning how to treat yourself well and trust yourself is a gift that keeps on giving, not only to yourself but to EVERYone you encounter in this life, especially that special person you said yes to!⁣

Downloading all of your negative thoughts about yo

Downloading all of your negative thoughts about your partner with a friend seems so productive, letting off steam they say, but tell me the truth, what does it solve?⁣
⁣
Does it really make you feel better?⁣
⁣
I'm wondering if it actually makes you feel worse.⁣
⁣
Getting people to sympathize with your story doesn't help you solve the problem, it only allows you to dig a deeper hole to climb out of.⁣
⁣
A hole of blame, resentment, evidence that someone isn't acting the way they should, in a way that would make you feel loved.⁣
⁣
That is not what I do, I do not feel sorry for you and say all sorts of things that will make you feel good about the current circumstance that is making you feel like garbage.⁣
⁣
I listen to what you have to say and show you why you are in pain.⁣
⁣
I show you how to see your circumstance and own what it is creating for you. Then I teach you how to take the actions that will get you the results you are looking for in your love relationship.⁣
⁣
Avoiding your love relationship by getting others on your side and not taking responsibility for changing it creates pain that leaves you out of control and hopeless. Let me teach you how to take your power back in your love relationship - power to feel 100% loved, every single day.⁣
