Ask Your Partner for What You Need: How to Start Practicing & Helpful Examples
It’s okay to have wants and needs.
This is something that many people forget about, thinking that they are doing something wrong if they need something. Or, they’re just afraid to ask for things, feeling like they’re not worthy to receive.

Don't Think You're Good Enough? Change Your Thoughts & Increase Your Self-Worth
Most people struggle on some level with not feeling good enough.
For some, this belief simmers just under the surface their entire life. They view things from this “I am not worthy” perspective that got skewed usually somewhere in childhood.
Others only deal with this type of thinking occasionally. Maybe they had an ultra-harmonious upbringing with parents who were quite healthy emotionally.

One Positive Action
Stay With Your Own Truth
Hard seasons change you. There is no pretending otherwise. Disappointment, loss, criticism, and failure leave marks. In the middle of it, it can feel like something essential has been taken from you, but difficulty often reveals exactly who you truly are.
When things calm down, you may notice that you’ve changed. Maybe you are steadier, more aware, less willing to sway on your boundaries. Strength creeps up slowly and shows us what truly matters most.
The danger after a setback is the temptation to let someone else’s reaction define you. If you are not careful, you start adjusting yourself to fit into another person's experience.
Integrity asks you to return to your own values, especially when it would be easier to abandon them. Integrity tells us to speak honestly, act kindly and hold your boundaries without turning hard. You become steadier each time you choose integrity over approval.
Think of one area where you have been second-guessing yourself. Write down one sentence that reflects your actual belief or value in that situation. Let that sentence guide your next choice.
