Unprecedented guilt is unhealthy for you and your relationships. Is somebody putting you on a guilt trip? It is your choice to get on that train. Guilty people use guilt as a tool to control others.

Even if you have people reminding you of your weakness and failure, wallowing in guilt is a choice that indulges your ego. Inflating error is a form of selfishness. Degrading yourself is a way to punish those around you, and a passive-aggressive attempt for others to feel sorry for you, in hopes they will feel guilty too. Your ego gets secret pleasure from negativity.https://www.audreyclub.com/

Whenever we feel like our dreams have crashed, it’s important to realize that your current experience is a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story. There is a way to find strength when you’re discouraged. If you feel like the desires of your heart have been hijacked by an injustice, don’t give up. Your difficulty and tragedy are not the end of you. There is hope ahead if you’ll find understanding. In this podcast, I describe what happened to me this last week. It didn’t make any sense. I had zero understanding. I felt tricked. I had done the heart work for months. This was the manifestation of everything I had been believing for. It was an exact and direct answer to prayer.https://www.audreyclub.com/

Sometimes it feels easier to ignore the small conflicts, the dirty looks, or the simple misunderstandings in hopes that they will simply stop happening. Even forgetting an errand, or something trivial can turn into conflict and after a while, we stop enjoying each other like we once did. Most arguments stem from the refusal to own or take responsibility for the small things and many times we lose the ability to create resolve that feels mutual and kind. Most conflict is the result of endless mutual accusations over trivialities that emotional maturity and honesty would have prevented in the first place. So instead of ignoring the small things, consider developing a connection plan.https://www.audreyclub.com/

The very definition of restoration is being mended, repaired, rebuilt, reconditioned, and refurbished. When our inside world of thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are reconstructed, we begin operating in sync with how our creator God originally intended. Unconditional love, perfect love is the medicine and salve that every heart needs to feel renewed. Indicators of healing and restoration are when we aren’t needy or hardened. At times we may experience challenges, loss, and tiredness from living in this world, but we can remain warm, complete, and unnerved. Bottom line: we need God.

Developing compassion for yourself and even your struggles, positions you to love others. If you don’t take care of yourself, you will automatically be needy and pressure others to assure you of security and strength. Clearly and carefully creating mindsets and experiences that agree with God’s best for your life will recover your zeal for life.https://www.audreyclub.com/

A great way to give yourself a break, and truly replenish your heart and soul is to remind your heart of the truth. Instead of spiraling into all the questions that are looming, you can focus on what you know to be true.

At this point of (what it feels like) personal dilemma, we can either numb our minds through entertainment or, crash and sleep, find some form of distraction from reality. While none of these are necessarily wrong, they may not satisfy what you are craving the most.https://www.audreyclub.com/

What will keep you stuck, suffering and feeling alone is an offense that leads to resentment and a hardened heart.

What will get you out is a renewed mind. When your inside world experiences a turnaround. Instead of white-washing your past, and just hoping for the best, we believe it’s an necessary to deal with your offenses.

When you hang on to an offense, you will likely reason your position. And when it feels and sounds reasonable you’ll just hold on to it. Not a good idea. Laying down the right to be offended sets you up for an instant feel good. And it is powerful. So are you ready to move towards a renewed mind?

You don’t have to let the troubles or failures of the past disqualify you for the INSTANT change.

But you have to take action - to be aware of your feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and values.

If you feel hopeful, you are less likely to walk away from a relationship, whether physically or emotionally. Hope and happiness work hand in hand, but hope is even more powerful than happiness when it comes to making great decisions amid hardship.

Hope is a future-oriented positive emotion that emerges when things get challenging. You don’t necessarily need hope when things are great, but when uncertainty and anxiety emerge, it’s the stored-up hope that’s available and ready to keep you strong.

Life, marriage, and relationships can be easy or hard - and it’s your choice to determine your personal mindset. You are not exempt from peace and joy. It’s your inheritance.
