Recognize Patterns and Shift

I had a delicate talk with my boyfriend the other day, where baggage from previous relationships was getting intertwined in ours.

In today's society, not very many people marry young and as virgins.

That being our reality, we can bring old wounds into new relationships without recognizing what we are doing.

One of my triggers wounds is the need for physical touch.

If I do not have it, my mind can go down a rabbit hole of unworthiness or disdain for my current situation.

With the pandemic, becoming a home school mom, my burgeoning business, the stress my significant other has had at work, and just attempting to find shelter from all the anger, even holding hands has become rare.

The other day I was hiking with a friend and burst into tears, not knowing why. We chatted, and I got some clarity and then brought my heart to my boyfriend.

After a few tough talks and more insight, I recognized all I needed was more physical connection and not in the form of sex, necessarily but touch.

“We all do this in our relationships where we get overwhelmed by something and head down whatever toxic mind hole we create.
”

Some people stay stuck in the traumatic thinking for hours, days, and, unfortunately, years.

What we need right now in this crazy time we live through, taking a moment to stop, breathe, and check-in with the people we love kindly.

Make sure that our highest needs are met on some level.

If we do not do this, our thoughts can lead us into some very dark places, and we can no longer recognize the good that we have in our current lives.

If you feel trapped by your thoughts, call me and set up a time to reacquaint you with your healthy mindset that will help your relationships.
