Here’s another tip on how to communicate better with your partner. It’s a good one!

 
When you think about interactions with people in general, particularly with your partner or your loved one, think about your energy as being either hard or soft. Hard energy means being rigid, tight, and closed, and soft energy means being open, available, and connected.
When you’re connecting or communicating with your partner, if you have hard energy that makes it very difficult for your partner to get in, to feel like they know you, and to feel like they understand you. If we have hard energy in interactions with our partner, it creates conflict.
There are four softening statements that you can say to yourself, or out loud to another person, or out into the universe, that can help you shift your energy from hard to soft. The first is “I love you.” The second is “I’m sorry.” The third is “please forgive me,” and the fourth is “thank you.”

Today, I want to talk to you a little bit about complaining.

 
We live in a society that’s really addicted to drama. And all that drama doesn’t serve you. Stop complaining. Stop focusing on drama. Stop.
You are what you consume. If you’re watching shows that are just drama, if you’re focusing on things that aren’t feeding your soul and making you better, if you’re surrounding yourself with people who are complaining or focusing on things that aren’t good, stop. Because if you want to actually live a life that you love, you have to stop complaining, and stop feeding yourself with drama, negativity, and stop surrounding yourself with people who bring you down, because all of that is going to put you right in that direction.

What to do when your kids annoy you?

 
It happens a lot in my house.
A couple of things to really remember when your kids are getting under your skin:
1. Our kids don’t deserve our pain
Usually our kids get under our skin and they annoy us when we’re not in our best, most centered selves. So if we’re not feeling grounded, if we’re not feeling calm and centered, everything that they do can ruffle us up. So it’s really important that we realize that our pain is our responsibility.
2. Taking out our pain on our kids isn’t helpful for anybody

Be kind to yourself. This is a beautiful, incredible thing that your body is doing. It is the most magical thing that happens on the planet. Your body is making another human being. Stop judging it, stop criticizing it, stop hating it.
Your body is a beautiful vessel that not only you and your soul are inhabiting, but another human being is inhabiting as well. You have to take care of it, love it, and trust that it knows exactly what to do. Be kind and stop being so mean to yourself.
