If you have a kid leaving for college (or even heading to kindergarten or preschool), you are going to be full of big and often conflicting emotions. Your logical mind can tell you that everything is “fine”; that your child is supposed to be going to college or kindergarten; that this is actually a magnificent opportunity. Yet, your emotional mind will probably be in a completely different place full of fear, sadness, regret, guilt, worry, you name it. This inner conflict leaves us feeling like we’re losing our mind. Crying with joy in one moment and crying in angst in the next. I’m here to tell you that you’re not losing your mind and offer a path out of this inner turmoil.

I hear from so many of you that your partner won’t change or that you’re frustrated because the same issues keep coming up in your relationships. This post is for you. Here are 10 Ways YOU can take charge and make a difference in your relationship!
How many of your relationships would you define as “thriving”? How many would you define as soul-sucking? Read about how to make more of your relationships thrive with these four rules!
There is no relationship that affects your life more than the relationship you have with yourself. How you think about yourself, what you say about yourself, and how you treat yourself makes the greatest impact of your life.
In accepting reality (lowering your expectations), you will be calmer and more at peace. Your family is what it is. Your spouse is what it is. Your kids are what they are. Let go of trying to control or imagine the “perfect holiday event” and embrace your holiday reality on its’ own merit.
I encourage you to reframe how you think of boundaries. They are not negative, punitive, or something we do to other people. Boundaries are actually a way we take care of and protect ourselves in relationships. Setting boundaries in my important relationships has allowed me to have more fulfilling relationships than ever before.
