Having emotional baggage from past relationships is very common and normal. There are lessons in the emotional baggage that we carry—from understanding expectations, finding out what we really want in life and relationships, and teaching us how to grow through the pain and rejection.

The issue is that we don’t know how to UNPACK and let go of this emotional baggage. Thank ya'll so much for supporting me. Please share this episode with anyone who needs it. 💞

Open Diary, Entry #1: This morning I woke up in a very confused state of mind and I had so many questions about my life and where I am now. Does this ever happen to you? I encourage you to go to the source to seek the answers you need. Something needs your attention.

To fully accept yourself as you are, you must exist in the present. Accepting those things you don't like or understand but acknowledging that it is apart of you. Not based on condition but unconditionally.

Forgiveness is a gift for yourself. But forgetting is not required. Instead of letting the past continue to hurt you, look for the lesson in it to help you move forward. We can occasionally look back, not to harbor resentment and stay stuck, but to be thankful for how far we've come in our own journey to forgive.

Is there a such thing as "too much of a good thing?" Or "too much love?" We've heard of too much junk food, sugar, even water! But what about in relationships? Well I have a few things I wanna say that may spark a perspective shift. Make sure you subscribe to my YouTube channel here>>> https://youtube.com/c/TrishTV1

I have a habit of shutting down whenever I feel overwhelmed. Instead of putting my focus back into what will help me when I feel this way, I tend to give into distraction. If you fallen off and are currently experiencing life in a way that seems to be knocking the life out of you, I want you to breathe. Reset, Restart, and Refocus. Figure out the WHY and take these steps to re-center.

Ever had an expectation for someone and what you expected from them was not fulfilled? Did their efforts match the expected? Or do you expect more from others than you do from yourself? False expectations occur when what you expect is not congruent with the effort, or the aligned values needed to fulfill that expectation. The experiences and relationships can be challenging, but your willingness and work ethic to put forth the effort in what you desire to have; the expectations will be and rewarding.

Attraction and compatibility; is there a blurred line? If there's one thing for sure in dating, I know the two are not equal. Trish Talk Tuesdays is returning next week and I wanted to shift gears back to relationship talk! Subscribe to my YouTube channel here>>> https://youtube.com/c/TrishTV1

We want to reconnect with what is beautiful and gratifying in ourselves, in others and in the world. Let's disconnect, not in in the sense of uncaring or selfish but with the understanding that life doesn’t happen on a phone screen. Take a leap, turn off your notifications, enjoy the good in a digital detox and leave your phone alone for a while.

"Grow through what you go through" means "Develop yourselves through your experiences". In our existence, we are often tested. These experiences, both good and bad, can be used as an opportunity to mold us. When you go through life with a shift in perspective, we find that we are actually growing through it.
