When I coach my clients around relationship issues, I find a really good question to ask is whether they’d be happy if their kid (or sibling or someone else they love) was in a relationship similar to their own. 🧐 It’s a confronting question and one that generates an immediate response. We can fart-arse around any other question and smooth things over in our minds about our own relationship…. but if you took that same kind of…
Are you a “victim,” or are you taking responsibility for your life? 🧐 I’m not talking about those who are or have been a victim of some kind of trauma. ❤️🩹 But there’s a big difference between being a victim and being a survivor and someone who likes the drama of playing the victim.

How often do you tell yourself you “should” do something? I really should save money instead of buy that thing. 💰 I really should get up earlier to get to the gym. 🏋🏼 I really should look after myself better.
