For the Good of All

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to fulfill the needs of those around you? How do you respond when someone else comes to you for something? Do you find yourself giving in to them, even though you’re exhausted or out of time? Others will often press those whom they feel will give in to their demands and requests.

If this sounds like you, it’s time to allow yourself to start a new chapter in which you set limits and institute some boundaries.

Defining Ourselves

Have you ever let another person’s perception of you define how you make choices and how you behave?  When we let others compare and define who we are, we sometimes take on roles that are simply assigned by others. 

Help Saying No

Do you struggle with saying no?  You are not alone.  Clients often share how difficult it is saying no, particularly to family members.

There are many ways we spend our time that prevent us from truly fulfilling the goals and aspirations that once gave us significance and meaning.

Cultivating Gratitude in Your Kids

Choosing Gratitude

While there is significant value in an intentional apology when we have wronged someone, these passing apologies often come from our own feelings of discomfort. What would happen if we began replacing our everyday apologies with gratitude?

The Fear of Commitment

When you think about commitment, how does that make you feel? Does your heart race? Do you feel faint? Do you feel the need to literally run? These are real feelings of men and women who have a fear of commitment. These fears are usually rooted in fear of missing out on other opportunities or fear of making bad decisions.

When Our Kids Become Adults

There can always be clearer communication and deeper understanding between parents and children. Parents appreciating their adult children for the wisdom they have can assist the relationship in those areas.
