LX2 Codependency Coaching

En ti (In you)

Today, we are talking about the challenge of placing our happiness on other people, situations, or circumstances. Often, if we leave those things up to others, we create our own disappointment. #enti #yourownhappiness #disappointment #expectations 
 

30 Seconds

Today, we are talking about taking an intentional pause of just 30 seconds. It's helpful when we stop for just a moment and give ourselves time to be more intentional in conversation or in our actions. If we take a moment to think about our impact on the people we care about by sending a message or being kind out in the world. 30 seconds can help build connection or create compassion. Half a minute to be patient with ourselves and get back on track with our goals. It can help us engage with intention. #30seconds #takeapause #getgrounded #buildconnection #bekind

No contact.

Today, we are talking about the idea of no contact in relationships. It is sometimes necessary to create a hard boundary in a once close relationship that consists of not being in communication. The decision to withdraw contact should be about maintaining your peace, resources, and being able to be your most authentic self.  If you make the decision to withdraw access those people who feel entitled to those things, know that you get to choose who you have in your life, even from people with a title. #estrangedrelationship #nocontact #manageyourpeace #boundaries #nothankyou

The gift of inconsistency

Today, we are talking about inconsistency as a helpful way to give ourselves grace and compassion. There are going to be times when we can't be consistent or stay on our routine. It will be helpful to come at the new situation or circumstance from a place of love, rather than fear. #consistency #loveyourself #rollwithit #chooselove 
 

Line of demarcation

Today, we are talking about the line of demarcation a border of before and after. When something happens and we are changed because of it. It is helpful to have people around you to help get through and light the path to the next part. Support to bare witness and hold space as you create the next part of your experience. #nextpart #beforeandafter #lightthepath #hardtimes 
 
 

Past, present, and future

Today, we are talking about the past, present, and future. It is helpful to have an awareness of what happened before now or who we have been in the past. Consider trying to stay grounded in the present moment, even when it is hard, controlling what you can. It is also helpful to work on planning things to look forward to in the future to keep momentum going. #awareness #letitgo #mentalhealth #staypresent #planthefuture

No matter what

Today, we are talking about the idea of "no matter what". There are some relationships, situations, or circumstances we feel loyal or committed to without questioning the "what". Humans are constantly changing and evolving. It is important to evaluate if these ideas or choices still make sense in the life you have now. #notmatterwhat #question #changeyoumindset

Juice worth the squeeze

Today, we are talking about evaluating life situations and circumstances based on whether they are a benefit for the effort you are putting to them. Often we think if we just give a little more or do more we will get a better outcome. The reality is, we need to be accepting of the situation for what it is and then evaluate if it is good enough or if we want more. That can be hard but not impossible. We don't always get more from some things if we keep squeezing. #cba #codependency #isitworthit #choices #mentalhealth

Strength of relationships

Today, we are taking about how to create strength in the bonds of relationship. I was thinking about steel and how it is strengthened with different elements, heated, and shaped into a strong substance that be used to build, defend, and create. Our relationships are similar in that they can have different elements of personality and skills that will be tested through time. Relationships grow stronger going through hard things and building resilience and trust over time. #strongrelationship #hardtimes #resilience #newchapter

Unintended consequences

Today, we are talking about unintentional consequences of our choices and behaviors. We often take for granted that we don't things in a vacuum and what we do doesn't have an impact on other things. The reality is our behavior will impact others, our partner, children, and the larger whole with what we do. It is helpful to take a moment to observe our own behavior and get curious about how we influence others. #unintendedconsequence #patternrecognition #relationships #mentalhealth
