Do you know the secret of change?
“Focus all of your energy, not fighting the old, but on building the new.” Dan Millman
Don’t stay there
Acknowledge the pain, don’t drown in it. Don’t avoid it or pretend it never happened. Don’t focus on it for hours each day.

Audio for Empathy compassion and criticism
Build the new relationship you want with your partner or create a new life with the wisdom you acquired. Step by step, like building a new house, create a relationship that serves you. Think about what was lacking and turn that complaint into a positive statement. “I want a relationship where we promptly talk about what is bothering us instead of letting it build up.” “I want to be able to predict when we will talk and feel close emotionally and physically.”
All of your energy goes to creating, not wallowing.
Did you know that people freely give attention to those who nurture and support them? I challenge you to nurture and support those around you in ways that are meaningful to them.
I would ask my clients to please let me know if you use my blog to continue the growth between sessions. It can be another resource for you.
Thank you for joining me today and I look forward to spending more time together in the future.
