Three Breaths Can Bring You Freedom

“Our deepest stress is that we are at war with ourselves,” Tara Brach We spend a lot of our days being driven by a vague existential clutch that something is wrong, something needs doing right now. And so we speed up. It’s not in our basic design to remember we can simply pause, breathe, notice the beauty around us. There is risk in relaxing.

Relationship Fitness

Just as muscles atrophy, or shrink and weaken, with lack of use relationships atrophy when the actions required to keep them strong are neglected. Most people understand that if you want to keep your body fit and healthy then you have to exercise fairly consistently.

If the daily courtesies are neglected the efforts to wow or impress on special occasions will not have the desired impact.

We set boundaries for our spouses does that mean we don't trust them?

And in the dating scene you have probably become familiar with “speed dating”, which allows you to meet someone for 3 minutes and move on to the next person.

Is My Therapy Working?

It’s easy to see when your friend needs to dial it down at a party. When your cousin’s behavior is a little off. When things are off balance for someone else. But it’s not so easy to see about yourself. Sometimes you seek therapy precisely because you are not clear about where you are trying to go and what you are trying to do. That’s why it’s especially hard to know if your therapy is working. It’s difficult to be objective about yourself and the progress you’re making. But therapy is an expensive investment that you should take seriously.

We all have history. For many, history forms our present views of relationships. From our past, we determine what we liked in relationships and what we didn’t like. This becomes, in part, the basis for forming new relationships when we have had the experience of ending one. One might think that, from whatever we may have learned, our history helps us in insuring the next will be better, more fulfilling, and longer lasting. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case.
