Is Your Spouse Too Needy? Looking For Relationship Problem Advice?

Is Your Spouse Too Needy? Looking For Relationship Problem Advice?
Is Your Spouse Too Needy? Looking For Relationship Problem Advice?

Is your spouse or maybe another close relation driving you nuts with their neediness?

You love them, but you don’t love being sucked dry?

Even healthy relationships have their challenges.

The relationship problem advice you are seeking might give you as much insight into your own neediness as your spouse’s.

The source of neediness within a relationship lies with the “inner-child” needs and issues of both parties.

Both your inner child and their’s need to be considered to discover creative ways to nurture your relationship and satisfy that needy feeling.

In case you don’t know this about me, I’m a parenting instructor as well as a health coach.  When I get the chance, I teach Redirecting Children’s Behavior.

Whether I teach it in a classroom or over the fence to the neighbor, I’ve seen this powerful information change lives!

Understanding why your children do what they do is empowering all by itself.  Teaching them to meet their own needs empowers them and satisfies that needy feeling.

Redirecting Behavior starts with nurturing yourself and making sure your “bank” is full.  Then it is important to nurture all the important relationships in your life by making deposits in the “bank” of the one you love, more often than you withdraw from it!

When dealing with adults it is easy to see how nurturing their inner child will get you a whole lot further than arguing with them.

In the case of self sabotage, the answers lie within.  The answers lie with YOUR inner child.

 

Want to understand the inner child that’s driving you nuts?

If you are self sabotaging, or your needy spouse is mis-behaving you need to understand what might be the underlying goal of the behavior.

The first sign that this is an issue is probably going to be your irritation with yourself and/or others.

When you feel irritated, ask yourself which of the mistaken goals below might be the issue. Continue reading Is Your Spouse Too Needy? Looking For Relationship Problem Advice?

How Can a Goal Setting Worksheet Heal Your Symptoms of Depression?

Can you be depressed and not know it?

We talked yesterday about how setting goals is the best way to recognize your greatness, and how meeting with like minds is the best way to ensure consistent action toward your goals.

Sometimes you can’t see what is getting in your way!

The Mastermind Team can “hear what you really want” and they can see what you can’t.

One of my very first mastermind team mates changed her life after the mastermind group helped her shine a light on her symptoms of depression!

I used to mastermind with a group of ladies at the gym, way back before I called it Masterminding.  We would sit on the floor in the aerobics room, surrounded by mirrors and stretch ourselves from head to toe.

(Of course today I would ONLY stretch like that AFTER a workout, but that’s another story.)

It was so encouraging to see their familiar faces each Monday, Wednesday and Friday … same time, same place.  The wonderful life lessons shared and heart warming stories enjoyed by the group have stayed with me over the years.

Joy was a beautiful woman who was always sharing  fitness resources.  She would bring the group the newest lifting techniques and philosophies, which would often spark debate.  Joy was a walking talking advertisement for the nutritional supplement that she swore by.

Yet Joy didn’t have much Joy.

One morning as the ladies gathered, Joy began sharing her heartache over losing her mother. Continue reading How Can a Goal Setting Worksheet Heal Your Symptoms of Depression?

Why Do You Need A Goal Setting Worksheet?

Charlie Chaplin Hollywood

Do you recognize your greatness?

Erica Jong, an American author and teacher said,

“Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place it leads.”

I’m not exactly sure what she means by that, but I have an idea.

What’s your passion?  Have you found something that drives you past your normal limits?  Something that makes the hours seem like minutes?  When you live with purpose you are possessed with drive and inspiration that will definitely push you past your limits towards your full potential!

When you set goals and work towards achieving them, you access your ideals.  When that conflicts with what you see in your life now …

it causes all those limiting beliefs that are holding you back to rise to the surface.

  • Do you believe that you have it in you to succeed in life?
  • Do you believe it is within your power to beat heart disease?
  • Do you believe you can survive grief and loss?
  • Can you finally lose weight even though you have tried a thousand times?
  • Is physical fitness still within your grasp? Can you enjoy playing with your grand-children?
  • Will you leave a legacy when you are gone?
  • Do you believe you deserve happiness?

Realizing your greatness starts by setting goals and gathering with like minded people to over come obstacles.  The secret is Continue reading Why Do You Need A Goal Setting Worksheet?

Looking For Easy Stress Management Techniques?

Did you know that there is a very simple way to make yourself healthier and happier?

I’m talking easy!

Isn’t the thought of feeling better without making big changes encouraging?  Compared to other stress management techniques, this one is as easy as they come.

If you spend anytime reading here at Heart Failure Solutions, you know that I talk a lot about making better food choices and getting active.  Those are very important steps that you can take to feel better!  That is for sure!

However, it is really hard to create lasting change in your life!  You get so attached to your habits!  Switching up is just plain hard to do.

The tip I’m about to share with you can help you feel better without doing much of anything differently.  In fact, before I wrap this post up and send you off with many blessings, I’ll give you a link to a product that will allow you to incorporate this healing into your life without making ANY change!

When you take simple action to make yourself feel better daily, it is MUCH easier to make better food choices and to find the motivation to get up and MOVE!

The small change that you can make to improve your health for the better ….

Take Off Your Shoes!

Yes, I’m very serious.

Take your shoes off and walk on your front lawn for 15 minutes every morning or evening, or when you feel tired or uncomfortable, or even in pain.  The more time you spend strolling around bare foot, the better you will feel!  A bare foot game of kickball on the front lawn can be a great stress reducer game!

Now just because this remarkable healing tool is SO simple, don’t underestimate the power of bare-footing!

Electrons from the earth have natural anti-inflammatory effects, reducing inflammation anywhere in the body.  We talk a lot about inflammation around here, so you are probably already aware that inflammation is the cause of most chronic illness.

Stress management techniques only help you when you apply them.  This method is so easy, even a child could implement it daily!

Ready to feel better?

What will walking on the earth barefoot do for you?

  • Improve energy
  • Reduce Inflammation
  • Improve Sleep
  • Relieve Muscle Tension
  • Reduce Stress
  • Restore Normal Biological Rhythms

Touching your feet to the earth will synchronize your electrical frequency to the earth’s.  This wondering grounding effect is measurable.  You WILL notice the difference immediately!

Will the Causes of Extreme Fatigue Cost You Quality Time?

Will the Causes of Extreme Fatigue Cost You Quality Time?

Are you ready for the summer?

In the US we are finishing up the school year and heading into holiday.

Did you finish your spring cleaning and get your body into swim suit condition?

Maybe your priorities have changed.  Have you become less concerned about how you look and more concerned about your long term health?

If feeling good well into the future has become top priority for you, eating healthier and committing to an exercise program should be on your to do list.

Feeling good is a worthy goal spring, summer, winter or fall.

Fitness is wasted on the young.  When you can’t get out and enjoy your grand-son’s baseball game, fitness is about more than looking good, it’s about quality of life!  The causes of extreme fatigue may not be obvious, but the effects are hard to ignore.

Do you hit a wall every evening?  Are you so tired at the end of the day that you can’t enjoy your family? Continue reading Will the Causes of Extreme Fatigue Cost You Quality Time?

Does Your New Years Resolution Involve Creating Happiness?

New Years Resolution

No matter what you want to accomplish in the new year, it is all about greater happiness, isn’t it?

I am hoping that your New Year’s Resolution is not the only goal you set this year.  Goal setting is something I do on a regular basis, and I’ve taught my children to do it.

If life is worth living, it is worth setting goals, achieving them and celebrating your success!

Do you have any goal in your goals journal that is NOT about greater happiness?

So what is it about your New Years Resolution that makes it different from all your other goals?

If you are like most people, your New Year’s Resolutions is probably one of the goals that you never find the time to get to!

The “To Dos” that nag at you are the ones that you know you SHOULD get to.  When you don’t, you beat yourself up.

Bad habits are at the top of the list of things you never get around to tackling.

Don’t overwhelm yourself.  If you have more than one bad habit you’d like to get rid of …  Continue reading Does Your New Years Resolution Involve Creating Happiness?
