RYS 023: Say What You Mean and Mean What You Say

In this Episode:

 

Healthy relationships are founded on mutual respect and trust. But being respected and trusted comes from being honest. Part of honesty is saying what we mean and meaning what we say. Our word is our bond. If our words and actions do not align we have not been honest. We can’t establish trust or respect if we are not comfortable saying NO upfront to requests we do not want to do.

 

• Being liked is not nearly as important as being respected.
• Going against what we recognize is true for us results in regret, disappointment, and suffering.
• It is okay to ask people for help. And, it is okay to say no.

RYS 022: Boundaries Create a New You for the New Year

In this Episode:

The Solution is One Resolution

I no longer make a list of New Year’s resolutions. For way too many years I set myself up declaring all the things I was going to change about myself, yet did not stick with long enough to actually achieve the change I wanted. Then I would spend the next eleven and a half months beating myself up for not keeping the resolutions I made. So this year join me in breaking the habit of making a long list of resolutions. Let’s identify one thing to concentrate on, one new skill that we can master to the point we make it a consistent part of our new 2015 life-style.

• Good relationships have good boundaries
• Saying NO is not selfish
• Big difference between love and rescue

RYS 021: Slow Down to Speed Up

In this Episode:

Do you feel overwhelmed like you’re running a race and are struggling to keep up? Does it seem you’re always on the go, frantically rushing from one thing to another, desperate to check another item off your to do list? Are you cramming in so much that you’re moving through life disconnected from the present, disconnected from other people, from the natural world, from truth, and from your emotional, feeling heart?

• Stress comes from skimming through life.
• The quality of life is found in the details.
• Slowing down you’ll actually get more done faster.

RYS 020: We Cannot Change Other People But we Can Love Them

In this Episode:

 

Feelings of powerlessness, disappointment, stress, and resentment come from holding on to a fantasy of what we want someone to be rather than accepting the truth of who they really are. Consistent actions are proof of who someone is. The truth is, their behavior is telling us who they are.
• Believing what someone says while ignoring their opposite behavior is not loving yourself or them.
• Your love does not magically create change in others.
• The only love powerful enough to motivate someone to change anything about themselves is self-love.

RYS 019: The Real Reason for the Season

In this Episode:

 

Today is Christmas eve and there aren’t any presents under the Christmas tree this year for the five Wanoa children who live in southeastern Queensland, Australia. It’s not because their parents Nicky and Tee can’t afford to buy their children presents. Quite the opposite is true as the children receive much throughout the year. No, Nicky and Tee are not choosing to endure the wrath of family and friends who are calling them Santa Killers and other dirty names just to be frugal. They are intentionally and bravely challenging the status quo of gifts being the way to show love and to create happiness within their children. Nicky and Tee want their children to learn the real reason for the season.

 
• Presence will always be more important than presents.
• The greatest gifts are those of our time and attention.
• Imitation of Jesus is the sincerest way to honor his birth.

In this Episode:

 

My life sucked at times but there were many good times too. I think it is extremely important to intentionally remember the good times. Going back to remember all that did go right in our lives gives us encouragement to heal what needs to be healed from our past so we can create more pleasant memories in the present.

 
• The past offers a connection to our history and our roots.
• Focusing on good memories allows a clearer perspective of our complete history.
• Good thoughts make us feel good.

RYS 017: Love Lets the Little Things Slide

In this Episode:

 

No matter what we do, no matter how many times we ask, there are minor things about those we love that we just have to let go. They are not going to change. We can’t get them to change. Maybe they are working on changing other, more important things about themselves. Maybe they just don’t want to. Minor irritations are not worth wasting our precious energy.

• You and I are not perfect and neither are those we love.
• Love lets the little irritations slide.
• Love appreciates we all have different ways of doing things.

RYS 016: Embrace Your Emotions

In this Episode:

I don’t know who started the “it’s good to stuff your emotions” idea but it is a huge load of unhealthy and dysfunctional garbage. We are specifically designed to feel our way through life. What a twisted fantasy it is that stuffing our emotions will cause them to somehow magically disappear and we’ll go on our merry way filled with happiness, inner peace and love.

 
• We operate under two basic emotions, love and fear.
• Our negative feelings remain with us until we release them.
• We’re not intended to control our emotions but to express them in healthy ways.

RYS 015: Confidence is an Inside Job

In this Episode:

At one time I was a co-dependent person. I wanted other people to deal with my challenges, to fix my problems, or tell me the right thing to do. I was waiting for someone to heal me, someone to complete me. I believed I would magically attract the perfect person who would come to my rescue. Damsel in distress and a brave knight rides up and life becomes perfect. Damn fairy tales. There was never a knight.

 

• People can offer support but you must first support yourself for it to feel real.
• There is a difference between needing validation and wanting support.
• End co-dependency and fears of being abandoned by not abandoning yourself.

RYS 014: Only You Know What is Best for You

In this Episode:

 

There was a time in life when I cared more about being liked, not making waves, and what other people thought of me than I did about liking myself and caring about what I thought of me. Not once did I feel good about myself doing what other people thought was best for me when I knew in my heart that what they wanted was not close to what I wanted for myself.

• It’s not easy to do what you know is right and best for you.
• Staying true to you is worth whatever sacrifice is necessary.
• Listen to and trust those who want you to be your unique self.
