The Definition of Insanity
Have you ever heard the quote attributed to Albert Einstein about insanity? He said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results each time. Sometimes the relationships in our lives can feel like insanity. Today I want to take a moment to talk about relationships, boundaries, and what you’re allowing into your life.
It’s true—what you allow into your life will continue.
If you allow:
→ Toxic people? Then the drama will continue.
→ Boundary-violators? Then your resentment will continue.
→ An overcommitted, overscheduled pace? Then the stress and anxiety will continue.
→ Negative thoughts that overpower you? Then depression and anxiety will continue.
Are you allowing all of these things to continue in your life and expecting something different to happen each time? Listen, I’m not calling you insane, but you’ve got to do something different. It’s time to decide what you want to allow into your life. It’s time to choose what kind of results you want in your life.
Instead of allowing toxic relationships, negative thought patterns, or the pace of life to consume you, decide what results you want and go after them.
If you:
✅ Eliminate toxic people, you’ll have positive and thriving relationships.
✅ Set boundaries and say “no” when you need to, you’ll have peace, joy, and freedom.
✅ Focus on redeeming thoughts, you’ll feel empowered and courageous.
Remember, you have the power to choose what you allow into your life. What you allow WILL continue.
So . . . what areas of your life are you going to change? What are you going to continue allowing and what are you going to trade for joy, peace, and freedom?
The choice is yours.
So many are struggling with this right now after the couple of years we've all had. I'm hearing how stuck, stressed, anxious, and confused my clients are feeling day in and day out.
I want 2022 to be a year that you move from stress to freedom.
As a therapist and counselor, my ultimate goal is to work myself out of a job. I want to help people get to a place where they don’t need me anymore. Where they’re living life fulfilled, happy, and healthy.
And that starts with figuring out why we feel stuck or stagnant and learning how to love ourselves.
That's why I've decided to open enrollment again for my Get Unstuck Online Course, but at a 50% off discount. I have just seen such a need for this material and I want to help each and every woman I come across with this journey. The Get Unstuck online course takes me from the 1:1 therapist chair into an online setting to help you navigate the self-work needed to build the life you desire.
This work you'll do inside the course will help you understand yourself and the lens through which you process the world. Identifying this will help you shift unhealthy patterns that haven’t been serving you towards fuller, deeper relationships with yourself and those in your life.
You'll be guided step-by-step through activities and tools that I do daily with my therapy clients to help you handle conflict when it arises, battle anxiety and stress in a healthy way, and create coping skills that work for you as an individual.
Women who have completed this course have gone on to create their own businesses, heal relationships they thought were forever broken, and experienced a change towards living the lives they were destined to live.
If you’re like the majority of women, loving yourself is not an easy feat. So treat yourself to the life you deserve to live, and join Get Unstuck online course at 50% off with the code: UNSTUCK22
