Practicing your IAMS will be a vital building block in positive emotional building

We have these three sides to provide diversity in our reactions

It's a delicate balance that pays to learn well. You don't want to constantly exist on the scales of stress associated with always being on edge and ready to fight in a space where only love should exist.

It's not about breaking yourself down to keep up with social demands from friends....because at the end of the day, if it's in your nature to be with and around friends even after a full day of work without the thought that it's daunting or something to dread, then that's who you are at core. If, on the other end it's something that's forced, or that feels forced, you have to think about if you're doing this for you, or if you're appeasing someone else's desire for what they think you should do. Understand what your needs are, and what the needs of people in your life are. Don't be afraid to articulate what you desire emotionally, and what you can or CANNOT do emotionally with friends.

Being grateful for what you do have doesn't mean you aren't allowed to feel upset about your situation; but remaining grateful for what you do have will help give you more energy to change what it is is hurting you

Not everything is going to be a perfect black and white!

I don't think the podcast with me will be released because we weren't able to figure out how to send my incredibly large video file, because nothing was working.....SO, here is my quick take on this.

It's alright. We all do it. We create the outcome. We create the scenario, we create everything, and then we run to the other side to be the recipient of the sometimes detrimental stage of outcomes on the other side. Release expectations, friends!

Hi all!

Nurture the inner child that once didn't mind the judgement of others. Expectation will almost alway breed anxiety. Be calm!
