Don’t over apologize. Simply apologize for the comment you made the other night, offer a brief explanation for why you did it – then forgive yourself and let it go.

Only when we become aware of our emotions, spend time with them, and get curious about them can we develop our emotional literacy and the words to follow suit.

When you notice yourself in that space, dig a little into your fear and lean back for the answer of your most empowered self.

Pursue your own growth and possibly inspire him to pursue his.

When you know who you are, what you want, what you stand for, and what you are claiming for yourself, it becomes like this built-in filtration system.

The change you want to see begins with you - and yes, he can help you with that, too.

A relaxed mind is a relaxed body - and a relaxed body nudges the mind to relax, too.

You can choose the activity, or lack thereof, that is calling to you most loudly at any moment in time.

If you replace the words money and love with energy, you will see, they are one and the same.

Open that bottle of glittery instant forgiveness, pour it all over yourself and you’ll stop that shit dead in its tracks.

Asking your future self (who is always a more evolved version of you), what she would have you do, is an incredibly powerful way to make a choice.

Get clear on how you are creating your own pattern in relationships - and the veil will start to lift.

If you bring your best self along the journey, what waits for you on the other side of your current dilemma are clear green pastures.

At the core of most wounded expectations (let’s be clear that some expectations and standards are healthy AND necessary) is the belief that you are not enough/not worthy/not seen.

Every little bit of fear you uncover presents a new path for more love.

Rather than feeling stuck in the relationship, or stuck trying to change a person who resists your efforts, focus solely and only on how YOU show up.

All too often we hold our partners to certain expectations and reply with a wounded response when they don’t manage to meet them all (spoiler alert: they never will).

How were you feeling leading up to the latest moment of bliss with your partner? Do that regularly BEFORE trying to fix anything in your relationship.

Consider all the subtle ways you are belittling your partner and notice -- truly notice -- the ways it is blocking love in your relationship.

Maybe if you do not make a remark in response to his frustration, or take the issue further, he will just drop it and start to rethink things for himself.
