This week we are taking listener’s questions.

Today’s question: I need to set boundaries with my overbearing mother who is just trying to help, however she is affecting the relationship I have with my husband. 

Answer: You are relationally aware. You recognize the effect it has on the relationship with your husband. You do understand that she is simply trying to help. You also know you do not like how it is affecting you. 

What have you tried? Have you tried to mitigate her impact? Have you been direct, or were you a little more subtle? Now you feel like you don’t know what to do?

There is not an easy answer to this. You will have to try again to get her to understand how you feel. If none of these work, you will need to decide what the limit is.

Your job as your husband’s partner is to keep up your end of the bargain and keep him secure in the couple bubble. You and he are comfortable in the couple bubble, but is she taking energy out or putting negative energy in the bubble. You have to set the limit with your mother. 

This is an issue you need to try and work this out with your mother and take your husband out of the equation. This is the time for you to set your limit with her and stick to it. 

This is not an issue with you and your mother. This is an issue with your relationship. Do not throw your partner under the bus.

“Great opportunities are often disguised as small acts of service.” Rick Warren.

It feels good to help others. This feeling empowers us and is actually helping yourself.

Saying hello can brighten a day. Being a considerate driver, holding a door are all ways to serve others. These may be small acts but can have such a strong and lasting impact. Volunteering in your community is another way to serve. Serving others is truly serving yourself through self empowerment. 

It costs absolutely nothing to be kind!

Cultivating awareness through identity mapping. Who do we believe we are? This is our life lived thus far but also the assumptions we make, and what moments have passed and our purpose in them.

This is not just how we perceive ourselves, but how others perceive us. 

Trauma and the effect it has on us is part of who we are. Through identity mapping we can determine our values, personality traits and how we form memories that define us. We can consider what we were intentionally aware of and what we simply moved through. 

Until we become aware of who we are, we are unsure of our identity. 

We can introduce awareness through identity mapping and alter the awareness of who we are. We can then decide who we are now and who we become.

This week we are taking listener questions.

Today’s question: Recently my fiance broke up with me and I am feeling lost. We still live together, we still share the same friends, she still corresponds with my family but we are very much broken up. What signals should I receive that she is open to reconciliation?

Answer: This differs depending on the situation and the people involved. The people that truly are taking a break, they are generally fair and communicate their desires. There should be very clear communication and very clear guidelines. It is also a definite clarity that has to be articulated as to what is expected. It is not fair for the person taking a break to remain unclear about their intentions. They also must be respectful of your feelings. 

The signs that they may be open to reconciliation is that they are trying to maintain health in the relationship. They will have to let you in as to what they need for you to reconcile the relationship.

You also have to focus on you. You may not be able to make the decision you can decide what you want to do.

You have three options, accept it as it is, try and change things or decide you don't accept it and quit. Think about what is reasonable to you?

This episode is going to focus on empowerment through your connections.

Jim Brown says, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

This is a sign that you should surround yourself with the right people. You can inspire you, support you and you should do the same for them.

You need people of integrity, people that follow through on their promises, people that are constantly growing, people that challenge you. This group of people is your dream team!

Take the lead and let them also know they can depend on you, just as you depend on them.

Transit Mars in Aquarius squaring Uranus in Taurus. The square happens when two planets are transiting Zodiac signs that are in the same modality but different elements. 

This is a time to focus on method and organization, on bending without breaking, and understanding the chaos. 

What if change is part of the tradition? We have to experience change and furthermore, we have to make peace with change. 

There is an opportunity to move forward by embracing change.

We are talking about cultivating awareness this week. Today we talk about cultivating awareness by curbing judgment and criticism.

Judgment and Criticism takes away our ability to be engaged in the present. We lose the ability to become aware because our focus is on what we feel are shortcomings of others. Our mind sees difference as dangerous. Your mind is stuck in the past. Loss of awareness, in the presence, keeps up a healthy and happy life through judgment and criticism of others.

This week we are answering listeners questions:

Today’s question: Am I able to tell if I have been empathetic enough? If so, how?

Answer: What do you do when you feel you have given enough but it is not reciprocated. When do I say I am confident enough I have done enough? 

Empathy really means walking in the other person’s shoes. Empathy also means you feel like they do. In a small way you imagine you are having the same experience in your life. 

If you are still struggling with the other person not understanding that you are not doing enough, then have a conversation with them about how and why they feel. Ask them to explain what you are not understanding. 

With a sense of curiosity try to show consistency and empathy and try to understand  what they are seeking.

“You can, you should, and if you are brave enough to start, you will.” -Stephen King.

This is a challenge to yourself. In order to feel empowered you need to challenge yourself. Learning a new skill, sport, or hobby may be difficult, scary, and difficult. Once you have mastered this skill, you will have more confidence and feel more empowered. 

Confidence is a key component to empowering oneself. Overcoming a challenge is a great way to gain the confidence and empowerment you need.
