LX2 Codependency Coaching

Today, we are talking about requests, ultimatum, and boundaries. Often, we request changes in behavior hoping someone will just do the thing. If things don't get done the say we expect we make if/then statements and rarely follow through. The boundary is what we can actually manage when it comes to our resources of time, space, money, emotions, and thoughts. We are in control of those things. #boundaries #ultimatum #relationships #choices
 

Today, we are talking about emotional maturity. The idea that we can build resilience and awareness of our emotional experience through allowing space for what we are feeling. How to build connection through curiosity about what someone else is feeling.  #emotionalawareness #emotionalmaturity #narcissiticbehavior #takingfeedback #connection #empathy

Today, we are talking about the want to. Often we lack the discipline and motivation to get things done to create lasting change. This isn't a character flaw but block in motivation and challenge to get ourselves moving from one place to another. #discipline #motivation #change #selfsabotage 

Today, we are talking about how to manage and communicate our expectations to prevent disappointment and resentment. It is helpful to check in with out own experience and feeling to recognize how those inform what we expect from people, relationships, and situations. #disappointment #expectations #relationships #communciation

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 
 

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

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

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 
 

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 
 
 

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
