'They step back, to leap further' ~Montaigne
Emotional growth isn't linear, and sometimes each step is a move forward (even if we don't see it)!
*Today, think of ONE issue you've been working on, and pause to notice your #LengthyLeaps🙏🏾

I recently read Nonviolent Communication, and I didn’t expect it to leave such a deep impression on me. The more I read, the more I found myself reflecting on the way I speak, listen, and connect with the people around me.

2/3 practical lessons from #nonviolentcommunication is that clear communication isn’t just about expressing a complaint. It’s about making a positive, actionable request.
Instead of:
❌ “Stop interrupting me.”
Try:
✅ “I’d like to finish my thought before you respond.”
Instead

'The #Heart of those who truly LOVE, is paradise on earth' ~#Lamennais
Acknowledging our feelings without denying the #Devine in others, is an #ActOfLove! Behind every act is a universal need.

I find it incredible that you can be gentle to another person and still deliver the truth - non-violent communication for the win. This way we get even closer to the truth, I would guess, than through roughhousing it :P

If you have trouble receiving appreciation, think of it like a #GratitudeCircle (½ appreciation, ½ reception~#Connection needs both)
*Today try 'happy I could help' vs 'it's nothing'🙏🏾#PeacefulLiving (7/23)

2/3 option. Instead of getting stuck on the accusation, get curious about the feeling and the unmet need underneath it. Because people rarely say exactly what they mean when they’re hurting.
“You’re selfish” might actually mean...
“I’m feeling alone.”
“I don’t feel

Ever get overwhelmed by judgments of self & others?
