Oh man.. to just pick a few ha ha! Some that I have gotten some value from recently are: Mind Hacking Happiness, by Sean Webb He talks about emotions, expectations, and reality. Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, by Dr. Joe Dispenza He talks about how the brain works, how to change which neurons fire constantly (thoughts, emotions, etc.) and meditation to heal and create personal miracles. Codependent No More, by Melody Beattie She talks about being codependent with our partners and others and how it effects us. How to choose yourself over your circumstances.

@Lea Ann Perkins it is very eye opening! I never really considered myself codependent.. until I read this. Great read!
🌟 Strengthening Relationships Through Emotional Intelligence 🌟
Let’s talk about creating deeper, more meaningful connections in our relationships—whether it’s with a partner, family, friends, or even co-workers. Relationships thrive when emotional intelligence (EQ) is at the heart of our interactions. 💖 Here are a few powerful ways you can use EQ to strengthen your bonds: 1️⃣ Practice Active Listening 🎧 Sometimes, we listen to reply instead of truly hearing the other person. Active listening means giving your full attention, noticing tone and body language, and validating their feelings. This builds trust and makes the other person feel valued. ✨ Try this: Next time someone shares something, repeat back what you heard in your own words to ensure you understand. 2️⃣ Express Your Emotions Clearly 🗣️ Bottling up emotions can lead to misunderstandings. When you share your feelings with honesty and vulnerability, it invites others to do the same. ✨ Try this: Use “I” statements like, “I feel overwhelmed when…” to express yourself without blaming. 3️⃣ Show Empathy 🤝 Empathy bridges the gap between people. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes and imagine how they might be feeling. ✨ Try this: When someone’s upset, acknowledge their emotions with statements like, “I can see this really matters to you.” 4️⃣ Set Healthy Boundaries 🚦 Emotional intelligence also means knowing your limits and communicating them with kindness. Boundaries protect your emotional well-being and create respect in relationships. ✨ Try this: If you need space, say, “I care about you, but I need some time to process my thoughts.” 5️⃣ Celebrate the Good Moments 🎉 Don’t wait for big milestones—show appreciation and celebrate the small wins in your relationships. Gratitude strengthens emotional bonds. ✨ Try this: Send an encouraging text or thank someone for a thoughtful gesture today. 💬 What’s your favorite way to build stronger relationships? Let’s share tips and experiences to help each other grow. 🌿 Together, we can create connections that uplift, empower, and stand the test of time. 💪💓

I love this! Thank you so much! It is a good reminder to keep in mind these things, especially the expressing my emotions part. I always thought I was good at this, but I find that I actually bottle up a lot more than I think is healthy. A thought I had that kind of goes along with this is being aware of your expectations or preferences and communicating them. If they can meet those expectations, great! If not, talk about why and maybe create another expectation that will feel safer for them to meet, but also safe for you and your boundaries. Most conflict comes because our expectations or preferences about a certain thing is not met. And it creates an emotional reaction. If you don’t know what yours are, ask yourself what you want to happen and why. Go deeper until you understand them and can communicate them clearly.

One of my newer habits is being more conscious about my health and my body. I ask my body what it needs today. I give it healthier food, supplements, and movement. I have been aware of my thoughts about my body, and anytime there is a negative one that creeps into my mind, I call it out for the lie that it is, like, “says who? Is that even true, or is that only the opinion of a damaged society?” Or if it is true, I give myself love and understanding while asking how it can heal/improve. Meditation! Practicing self love & care.. Anyways, this is something that was not ever part of my life and I love the changes it is bringing. 😍

@Lea Ann Perkins yesss! 100%. It is so hard to come from such an emotional-avoidant household to running a household of your own with love, respect, and communication. I love your mission!
