    FRIEND:

    A person whom one knows and with whom one has a bond of mutual affection, typically exclusive of sexual or family relations.

     

    MY DEFINITION

    A person whom you have a special bond or relationship with that can also be just as close a family member. 

     

    • You have to talk every day but when you need them most they are someone you can count on to be there 90% of the time.
    • They support you and all the things that you do.
    • They are always rooting for you to win.
    • They will never secretly hate on you or try to steer you wrong
    • They love you unconditionally.

     

    BEING USED LOOSELY

    • USING THE TERM IN REGARDS TO AN ACQUAINTANCE
    • PUTTING TO MUCH TRUST OR ENERGY IN SOME ONE WHO DOESN’T HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST AT HEART
    • IN REGARDS TO A PERSON YOU HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON WITH OR BARELY TALK TOO.

     

    “BE CAUTIOUS OF WHOM YOU CONSIDER A FRIEND. BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO SEE YOU WIN.”

     

    THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

    “BE CIVIL TO ALL, SOCIABLE TO MANY, FAMILIAR WITH FEW, FRIEND TO ONE, ENEMMY TO NONE.” - BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

  • Normalizing Self Love & Self Respect

    Normalizing Self Love & Self Respect
    2021/12/09

    Self love

    •having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others

     

    Self respect

    •pride and confidence in oneself; a feeling that one is behaving with honor and dignity.

     

    Why Should It Be Normalized?

    •Self love encompasses relationships, nutrition, fitness, and even career aspirations 

     

    •The concept of self love has been diluted by social media and the intense proliferation of viral posts and memes about being “queens” and “boss babes” basically it intensely focuses on “self care” routines that are inherently unsustainable or out of reach for many.

    So often-times these are clickbait concepts that don’t truly dive into the “why” or “how” of a sustainable lifestyle built upon a foundation of self love and self respect.

     

    •When I say “self love,” what I mean is the way we treat ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally, intellectually, and spiritually.

    Food, exercise, sleep, sex, and relationships — these are all impacted by and enhanced by living a lifestyle centered around self love.

    So, how do you transform this concept of “self love” into an actual resolution? HEALTHY PRACTICES / HABITS—PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

    It’s a simple approach, but the implementation is hard as hell. It’s hard because it’s a perspective shift, and it requires a degree of thoughtfulness and discipline that is at odds with a world built on instant gratification, hype, and reduced attention spans.

     

    •It should be normalized because it promotes healthy behaviors and mindset 

     

    •Creates a better life and person

     

    •With self love comes self respect 

     

     

    THOUGHT OF THE DAY

    “I accept all of me with love.”

  • Signs of Controlling Behavior In A Relationship

    Signs of Controlling Behavior In A Relationship
    2021/12/05
    DEFINITION    Someone who is “controlling” tries to control situations to an extent that is unhealthy or tries to control other people.   THE SIGNS   •They insist on Having Things Their Way   Controlling people often insist everyone do things their way, even small issues that are a matter of personal choice. Your partner might insist you change clothes if you’re wearing something they don’t like. They may refuse to back down even after you make it clear you disagree with them.   •They Refuse to Accept Blame   No one likes to admit they made a mistake, but people who are controlling seem incapable of admitting fault. Even when their actions are clearly the issue, they will find some way to blame you for what went wrong. It may be as petty as accusing you of distracting them when they made a mistake.    •They Need to be the Center of Attention   They want to be in the limelight regardless of the circumstances.    •They’re Unpredictable   They will keep you uncertain about what they will do next. They may swing between telling you how great you are and sulking because you don’t do what they want. The goal is to keep you guessing and focused on them.    •They Lie   Controlling people want to control your reality. They will try to deny your reality by lying about their behavior or yours. They may insist you’re the crazy one when you try to contradict them.    •They Want to be in Charge of Finances   If you’re married or living with a controlling person, they probably want to handle all of the money. They may claim that they’re better at it than you are or that you spend too much. They want to control access to money as a way of controlling what you do.    •They Dictate Where You Can Go   One of the most intrusive ways someone may try to control you is by controlling your movements. They may want to know where you are all the time. Whether it’s by threats, intimidation, or pouting, they try to isolate you from other, supportive people in your life.    CAUSES There are several underlying drivers of controlling behavior. The most common are anxiety disorders and personality disorders. People with anxiety disorders feel a need to control everything around them in order to feel at peace. They may not trust anyone else to handle things the way they will.  Controlling behaviors can also be a symptom of several personality disorders, such as histrionic p ersonality, borderline personality, and narcissistic personality. These disorders can only be diagnosed by a licensed practitioner.    HOW TO DEAL   Sometimes controlling behavior is simply an annoying trait, but it may cross the line into abusive behavior. Once you determine the severity of the behavior, you can decide how to handle it.    •If the controlling behavior is mild, it can help to discuss it with the offender. You can tell them how their behavior makes you feel, using “I” statements to avoid sounding like you're blaming them.    •If your partner is isolating you from family and friends and using different tactics to wear you down so that it’s easier to give in than to argue with them, you may be in an abusive relationship.    SIGNS OF ABUSE •Extreme jealousy  •Verbal abuse •Physical abuse •Unpredictability  •Possessiveness  •Forced sex or disregard of their partner's unwillingness to have sex •Blaming the victim for anything bad that happens •Demeaning the victim either privately or publicly   THOUGHT OF THE DAY "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you."
