Today, we're going to talk about finding happiness with what you have. We live in a world that constantly tells us that we need more to be truly happy, but is that really the case? In this episode, we'll explore ways to shift our focus and attention to what we already have and find gratitude in our lives.

Have you ever stopped to think about whether you pay more attention to what you have or what you don't have? Do you feel like you need more in order to be truly happy? It's normal to feel this way, but the problem is when we make our happiness dependent on these external things. So, how can we be happy with what we already have?

The first step is to question what happiness means to you and to remember the moments when you felt the most fulfilled. Once you understand this, you can start to work on shifting your thoughts and beliefs. Take some time to make a mental list of all the things that make your life better and bring you joy. And while you're making this list, connect with the feeling of gratitude. If there's one magic word for finding happiness with what you have, it's gratitude.

When we live from this place, we realize how fortunate we are for the gifts that life has given us, and how abundant our lives truly are when we see them from the right perspective. This doesn't mean that we can never want or strive for more, but it does mean that we can find happiness in the present moment, with what we already have.

Today, we're going to talk about a feeling that we've all experienced at some point in our lives: feeling overwhelmed and wanting to just run away from it all. But as much as we might want to, running away from our problems is not the solution. In this episode, we'll discuss how to face our problems head-on and find real solutions to overcome life's overwhelming moments.

Have you ever felt like life is just too much to handle and the only thing you want to do is run away?

I know I have, and I'm sure most of you can relate. There are times when we don't even know where to begin with all the things we have to deal with, and it can feel like the only option is to just escape it all. But unfortunately, running away is not the answer. Even if we physically leave a situation, our problems and emotions will still be there, following us wherever we go.

Think about it, what happens when you have a disagreement with someone you care about and you choose to avoid it instead of dealing with it? Sure, it might feel like the problem is gone for a moment, but it's not really resolved. And when you see that person again, the tension will still be there and the problem will still exist.

The solution is simple, but not necessarily easy: we have to face our problems head-on. It might not be pleasant or easy, but by tackling each problem as it arises, you'll start to see things fall into place. Holding onto unresolved issues will only lead to more anxiety and dissatisfaction in the future. Instead, focus your energy on finding solutions to your conflicts.

Remember, imaginary scenarios are not real, but the here and now is. Look around you and identify any loose ends that need to be tied up, have those difficult conversations, and let out those bottled-up emotions with patience and compassion. By addressing each situation one by one, you'll be able to overcome life's overwhelming moments.

Today, we'll be discussing the difficult process of recognizing and accepting when it's time to move on from a relationship and how to navigate the feelings and emotions that come with it.

One of the most complicated and painful moments in a relationship is when we realize things are not working out. Recognizing that the person who has been by our side for a while is no longer serving us and accepting that it's time for our paths to separate is a huge challenge.

Unfortunately, we tend to avoid this part at all costs. The problem is that this leads us to stay in relationships for longer than necessary, forcing things, and prolonging a relationship that no longer adds value to our lives.

Knowing when to say goodbye on time can be difficult, but it's one of the best gifts we can give ourselves and the people we're in a relationship with. Another resource we use when we feel the fear of putting an end to something is to put everything on pause. Sometimes we feel that things in a relationship are no longer working, but there's still a lot of love involved, so instead of ending the relationship, we choose to take a break without really doing so.

And don't get me wrong, in some cases these breaks can be useful. There are many relationships that need a moment of pause to reflect and strengthen the bond. But it's important to be very aware of the process, to question ourselves if this time is really what we need or if it's just a way of trying to prolong the inevitable.

And yes, the idea of an end can be terrifying, reaching a point of no return and feeling that doors are closing is scary. But try to remember that an end is always a new beginning, that as cliché as it may sound, when one door closes, a thousand doors and windows open. If we've reached a point where it's necessary to say goodbye, it's probably because that person is no longer serving us and maybe even causing harm.

It shouldn't be so hard to eliminate from our lives that which does not serve us well. And I know that sometimes the weight of habit and affection is very strong, but it's time to put on the other side of the scale, the love we have for ourselves, the care we know we deserve.

It's not about giving up at the first sign of things not going as planned, but there are times when we've tried everything and things just don't change, that we've modified some things that didn't work, that we've had all the difficult conversations and we've gotten nowhere.

That's when it's time to look at everything through honest and realistic eyes, to accept that we've done everything we can and that it's time to let go and move on. It's time to give ourselves the gift of closure, to let go of what no longer serves us and open ourselves to new possibilities. Remember, letting go doesn't mean giving up, it means moving forward. Don't be afraid to take that step, it's the only way to truly grow.

Today, we will be discussing the importance of celebrating our accomplishments, and how it can help us in our daily lives.

Have you ever stopped to think about the last time you celebrated something? Maybe it was your birthday, or a big achievement like finishing a degree or a project. The truth is, most of us reserve celebrations for special occasions, but we're missing out on so many things that are just as worthy of celebration. Every day, we accomplish something, big or small, and it's important that we take the time to recognize and celebrate each one of them.

Why is this important? For one, giving visibility to our accomplishments helps us gather evidence for those days when we don't feel good enough, when we think we're doing everything wrong, and it's hard to trust ourselves. When those thoughts come around, we can look back and prove to ourselves that what we're thinking isn't true, that we are complete and successful individuals with a path full of accomplishments and happiness.

Another reason is that it helps us implement and strengthen habits. Every action we take leads to a result, and depending on how that result makes us feel, we'll decide whether or not to repeat that action. For example, if you try a new dish and you like it, you're likely to order it again. If you don't like it, you probably won't ever eat it again. The same goes for habits. When we have a positive reinforcement, it's much more likely that we'll repeat that action. So, if we celebrate our daily accomplishments, it will motivate us to keep taking steps that will lead us to achieve more things, because celebrating feels good.

Maybe you think it's unnecessary to celebrate small accomplishments like finishing your daily tasks, saying no to something you didn't want to do, or setting boundaries in a relationship. But at the end of the day, it's about building a chain of small steps that will grow over time, and eventually help us achieve our big dreams.

Lastly, the most important reason to celebrate your accomplishments is that you deserve it. We spend too much time focusing on what's wrong, on what we want and don't yet have. We forget to take the time to appreciate what we've achieved, and give ourselves credit for our hard work. So, let's start taking the time to celebrate our accomplishments, big or small, and give ourselves the recognition we deserve.

Remember, celebrating your accomplishments is important for your personal growth, and it will help you in your daily life. Don't forget to subscribe, activate the bell and listen again the episode when necessary. Remember, every step you take is worth celebrating.

I know that making mistakes is a part of life, but it can be hard to shake off the guilt and feeling like we're the only ones who have made them. But the truth is, everyone makes mistakes, and it's important to learn from them and move forward. In this episode, I'll be discussing the importance of self-compassion and forgiveness when it comes to dealing with our mistakes, and how it can help us in our personal growth.

We all make mistakes, it's inevitable. But the problem is, when we make them, we feel guilty and like we're the only ones who have made them. But the truth is, mistakes are a part of life, and everyone makes them! But sometimes we give them so much weight, that we lose sight of everything else. It doesn't matter if we did a thousand things right, as soon as we do one thing wrong, we let that moment take over everything and define us as people.

But it's important to make peace with our mistakes, and to remember that we are more than just that one mistake. We are more than that unfinished project, those relationships that didn't have a happy ending, the no's we've received, the fights we've had, and the tears we've cried. And we are definitely more than all the things we didn't dare to do out of fear. We are so much more than our mistakes!

All those times we made mistakes and fell down, they are part of our story. They are lessons we needed to learn in order to take the next steps in our journey. So stop judging yourself so harshly and think about how heavy it can be to always carry these frustrations and criticisms towards yourself. Today, choose to breathe and forgive, and feel how by doing so, it releases that heavy burden that only holds you back.

Choose to see your mistakes as an opportunity for change and growth. When we make a mistake, we have two options: to fall down under the weight of self-criticism and judgment, or to face the situation head-on, understand what went wrong, learn from it, and get back up. It's not the mistake that defines us, it's how we react and continue with our lives afterwards.

Remember that life is a continuous learning process, nobody comes into this world knowing everything or having all the answers. And that's okay! Mistakes are a part of the process, and they help us to grow and become better versions of ourselves.

So, I hope this episode has helped you in some way to embrace your mistakes, and to understand the power of self-compassion and forgiveness.

Today, we're talking about the constant competition in the world and how it can hold us back from reaching our full potential. How often do we compare ourselves to others and set limits for ourselves based on what we think others can achieve? It's time to move beyond the competition and focus on self-improvement and self-reflection.

Have you ever felt like the world is in constant competition? That the rules are confusing and that we all have different starting points? We spend so much effort on putting labels on ourselves and finding ways to separate ourselves. We constantly compare ourselves to others and put more energy into seeing what the person next to us is doing, rather than finding ways to better ourselves.

Sometimes we believe that we're in a game where we can only reach a certain level, and that only people born with a special characteristic can go further. And that's how we slowly start putting limits on ourselves, determining how far we can go. We don't give ourselves a fair chance, and we live with the idea that this life is a competition.

But if you want to be better than someone, take a look in the mirror. Look for things that you can work on and find the best version of yourself. The only comparison that matters is between who you were yesterday and who you want to be tomorrow. Focus on your areas of opportunity and strive to be a little better each day. Discover the steps you need to take to reach that version of yourself. You'll probably realize that you're much closer than you thought. Maybe you're already there, but you've been so focused on others that you've stopped seeing and recognizing your own efforts. It's important to give yourself recognition and celebrate your victories, because in the end, you're the only one who knows how much work it took to achieve them.

When you see someone else achieve something you wanted, use it as inspiration. Ask yourself what you need to do to achieve it too. Avoid feelings of anger or envy, because they'll only fill you with negativity and take away your focus. Use it as a drive to grow and evolve. Approach the people you admire and ask for advice. Read about the lives of great historical figures and discover how they did it.

And the truth is, we're all playing the same game. It's called the game of life. And even though we're all born with a completely different toolbox, we all have the same right to dream and have a fulfilling life. So take a look at your toolbox, analyze each tool, and put them to use to navigate through this life. Think about how they can add value to your life and others. Remember, we're all on the same journey, and we all have the same goal: to be the best version of ourselves.

Have you ever heard the phrase, 'One day you will miss what you are experiencing today'? This quote holds so much truth. Think about all the things you miss from the past, all the memories that you hold dear. All those moments that you wish you could relive again and again. What do you feel when you bring those memories to mind?

The happiness, the love, the peace. Well, one day all that you have in front of you today will also be a part of that collection of memories. One day, you will look back with longing at this stage of your life and smile at all the beautiful things you experienced today.

That's why I always stress the importance of living in the present moment and making the most of each day. Life is fleeting, nothing lasts forever, and we often take for granted that people and things will always be here. But one day, all that you see today will no longer be. And I say this not to make you sad or upset, but to remind you that everything in life is temporary and to hold onto the present moment.

Let go of the past and stop trying to predict the future. When the time comes, you will face what lies ahead, but today, you are here, in this place, in this moment. Look around and connect with what is happening right now.

This moment is full of magic and beauty, and life is a wonderful gift that you deserve to enjoy. Appreciate every beautiful landscape, every adventure, every laugh, every hug. Appreciate every minute and always appreciate what you have in front of you, because one day you will miss it.

So take a deep breath, you are here and now. Embrace today and make the most of each moment. And remember, this moment is a gift, that's why it's called the present.

We've talked a lot about family dynamics and dynamics in relationships, but today we're going to delve into something we haven't discussed before - the dynamics with your partner's family. This can be a tricky topic because there are so many factors at play. But let's try to unravel it and understand it piece by piece. First, we need to understand that a relationship is between two people. While this may seem obvious, it can be difficult to put into practice.

When two people choose to share their lives, they are creating a very important bond - one that is completely different from the bond they have with anyone else in their lives. But this relationship takes place in an environment where many factors can affect the dynamics of the partnership. And one of the biggest factors is the family.

Family is so important that there's even a saying that when you marry someone, you marry their family. While there is some truth to this, it's also important to learn how to set boundaries so that the relationship isn't too affected by these external factors. Each case is different and each couple has their own dynamics with each family, but today I want to share some tools and strategies that can help you find balance between both relationships.

First, I recommend you stop thinking that you have to choose between your family and your partner. It's important to understand that each person in your life plays a completely different role. The role your family plays is very different from the role your partner plays. Each of these people has a different purpose, and so it doesn't make sense to create a war where no one is really competing.

The second tool I want to share is communication.

I know it sounds obvious, but the fact that communication is always a strategy for improving relationships is because it's really a key factor in making everything work. When we open these conversations with our partners, it's important to do so with honesty but also with a lot of respect for their family. Let's use an example. Imagine that a family member made a comment that hurt you. It's important to talk about this with your partner to avoid it coming out as an argument later. However, the words you choose when bringing it up are very important because at the end of the day, you're talking about their family.

Thirdly, it's important to set boundaries with your partner's family. This means being clear about what you are and aren't comfortable with in terms of interactions and expectations. It's okay to say "no" when you need to and it's okay to have your own space and time. It's also important to communicate these boundaries with your partner so that they can support you in upholding them. Fourthly, try to find common ground with your partner's family. This may mean finding shared interests or activities that you can all enjoy together. It may also mean finding ways to connect and understand each other's perspectives. By finding common ground, you can build stronger relationships with your partner's family and create a more positive dynamic.

Finally, remember that building and maintaining relationships takes time and effort. It's normal for there to be bumps in the road, but by being open to communication, setting boundaries, and finding common ground, you can navigate the dynamics with your partner's family in a healthy and positive way. And always remember that your relationship with your partner is the most important one and you should always put it first.

In conclusion, I hope you've found this episode helpful in understanding how to navigate the dynamics with your partner's family. Remember to always communicate openly and honestly, set boundaries, find common ground and put your relationship first.
