There is a saying that “experience is the best teacher”.

Sometimes in life, we end up in situations we can’t change.  It's all about fully accepting reality in situations that are beyond your control. This doesn’t mean you approve of the situation, are giving up, or that it isn’t painful. You are still allowed to (and should!) feel however you feel, but by accepting that it is what it is, you give the problem less power over you and you can begin to move forward.

Tending to a broken heart requires patience, self-compassion, and actionable steps. And while the path may feel lonely at times, you should never be afraid to seek support. Whether it's through loved ones, professional guidance, or using mindfulness and self-care practices, you can emerge stronger and more self-aware. 

Being betrayed is when someone violates your trust in them. Betrayal can trigger many complex emotions, which can leave you feeling overwhelmed. 

You can experience betrayal in relationships or from friends and family. This experience may make you wonder how to deal with betrayal and move forward.

Simple question: do you know who you are I mean do you know what terrifies you, why you do the things you do, and do you know how others perceive you too?

When most people set out to change their lives, they often focus on all the external stuff, like a new job or a new location or new friends or a new romantic prospect and on and on.

The reality is that changing your life starts with changing the way you see everything in your life.

At the end of each year, set aside some time to reflect on how it went. It may have been an amazing year or a completely horrible one. What went well and what didn't? What would you like to change about the year?

Forgiving yourself may mean letting go of the feelings and emotions associated with what went wrong. Many find it difficult to learn to forgive themselves because it can be tricky to move on without resolution. It’s easy to be our own biggest critic, but it may help to try and extend yourself the same grace as you might to anyone else.

Reflection helps you assess where you have come from and where you are going. You can reflect on life in many ways. By taking a walk down memory lane you can get in touch with who you used to be and allow this information to help you improve. Then, you can create daily and monthly reflection practices that move you closer to making positive changes in your life.

Being the bigger person is about being mature and calm in a difficult situation, and working to find a solution that benefits everyone rather than just focusing on your own desires or winning the argument.
