LX2 Codependency Coaching

Today we are talking about perception. How we are perceived in the world around us and how we perceive the world around us. #change #perception #bestintentionsthebook #socialmedia #concretekulture https://www.etsy.com/shop/ConcreteKulture

Today we are talking about experiencing the world through our emotional perspective. Giving yourself grace and patience while you are having your emotions. Getting through tough experiences. #trustyourself #emotionalawareness #emotioalperspective #mentalhealth Get your copy of Best Intentions: The things we do for love https://bookstore.dorrancepublishing.com/products/best-intentions-the-things-we-do-for-love

Today we are talking about nurturing relationships. Attending to the relationships you want to grow and evolve, especially the relationship with yourself. #growth #nurturing #relationships #bestintentionsthebook

Today we are talking about controlling what you can in the moment, checking your facts, and keep going. This past week was rough. Lots of emotions. We still have to do things. #postelection2024 #bigfeelings #bestintentionsthebook #mentalhealth #politicsaside

Today we are talking about when helping is not helpful. There are times we think we are helping and it makes things worse. It can be disempowering the person we are trying support. #nothelpful #resentment #needs #rescuing #helping #bestintentionsthethingswedoforlove https://bookstore.dorrancepublishing.com/products/best-intentions-the-things-we-do-for-love?_pos=1&_psq=best+int&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Today we are talking about relationship communication. I go over a tool I use often to help clients build helpful communication skills. I use the 6 Steps to Great Communication by Cynthia Hansen https://lifeandbeautyweekly.com/2010/10/communication_skills/ #communication #relationships #skillbuilding #connection #lx2codependencycoachingpodcast

Today we are talking about being able to access and process our own emotions. Emotional intelligence is about being aware of what we are feeling, authentically showing up, and have compassion for our emotional selves. #emotionalvulnerability #feelyourfeelings #emotionalawareness #newbook #bestintentions #greece #somaticemotions

Today we are talking about denial and the things we refuse to look at. Often we avoid addressing things head on because we don't know what to do to change them. We don't know where to start. We start by acknowledging they exist. #denial #makingchanges #smallsteps #mentalhealth #elephantintheroom

Today we are talking about distraction vs detachment. Often, when we are feeling tough emotions we want to distract ourselves in order not to feel. Whereas detachment might be a better move. Unattached from the outcomes but working through the feelings. #emotions #detachment #distractions #dothework #mentalhealth #lx2codependencypodcast

Today we are talking about satisfaction, suffering, and satisfaction. We get to choose how much of those things we endure or get from life. We can manage our resources, create goals, and set boundaries to a better experience through life. #satisfaction #sacrifices #boundaries #betterlife #mentalhealth

Today we are talking about memories and how we can change the narrative. We can recall something from a different perspective. We can create a better understanding of who have been and who are becoming. #memories #rebuilding #resilience #childhood

Today we are talking about forgiveness, bridges, and napalm. We get to determine the relationships that warrant forgiveness as it relates to our peace and access to our resources. Boundaries and bridges help keep us safe and maintain connection. #maintainpeace #forgiveness #burnorbuild #bridges #connection #lx2codependencypodcast

Today we are talking about the big three things I talk to clients about often often to evaluate how they are feeling: Food, exercise, and sleep. All of these things have an effect on our mood and energy. #sleephygiene #foodmatters #moveyourbody #mentalhealth

Today are talking about motivation and fuel we use to get there. We can use lots of different things to drive us to change, healing, and growth. What fuel are you using and is it sustainable? #motivation #growth #change #beingnew

Today we are talking about using routines and rituals to help us regulate our anxiety. Our brains strive for order. When we can consciously create routine, things we do in a habitual way, we make our brain feels better. The meaning and intentions behind the routine can make it a ritual. #routines #habits #anxiety #mentalhealth

Today we are talking about who is in your inner circle of humans. Who do you feel safe and comfortable with. What those bonds are made of. We get to determine the level of closeness and vulnerablility we share with people. #innercircle #vulnerability #boundaries #community

Today we are talking about the assumption of suffering as it relates to compassion and empathy. We are all going through our things; good, bad, or otherwise. If we can assume people are struggling, it is an opportunity to be kind to ourselves and others. #selfcompassion #suffering #expectations #grace #kindness

Today we are talking about shift perspective from a zero sum absolutes mindset. It is not all or nothing, win or lose, love or hate, but something in between. When we can shift perspective and find a middle ground we are less likely to experience such distress or discomfort. #zerosumgame #detachment #5yearanniversary #x2thexennial #classof 91

Today we are talking about the idea "righteous" indignation. The idea of getting angry or frustrated on behalf of someone else. When we are frustrated or irritated about someone else's choices it is an opportunity to recognize what we can control. We can consider the idea that we disrupt our own peace by taking away someone else's ability to manage their own choices. #bugged #unfair #boundaries #detachment

Today we are talking raising sheep or wolves. Thinking about using the opportunity to teach our precious children how to exist the world that can be dangerous. It is our job to teach our kids skills to be safe and secure on the planet where they can get their needs met without sacrificing themselves. #parenting #raisedbywolves #otherpeopleskids #puberty
