   focus more on you than them

   When we begin getting to know someone, we may suddenly start to constantly think about what they are up to, why they aren't texting back, or we may create a certain idea of them in our heads that we want them to be. This may lead to us getting hurt, upset, disappointed, or freaking out over how this person is living their life. Maybe they post something that makes you overthink your place in their life or their intentions with you. Maybe you see them do something with their life that makes you question how you will fit in with their life. Maybe you're wondering, "why aren't they thinking about me??". In a way, we wish to have control over how this person treats us, how they view us, and their intentions with us. In essence, we wish to have control over this person. We want our ideas and assumptions about them to be true, and when they do not match these visions, we are confused, upset, sad, or hurt. And what did they actually do except live their life? This one goes out to the overthinkers, the ones who are always trying to be one step ahead, and the ones who, when they meet a potential romantic partner, fall head over heels almost instantly. Shoutout to you. Sending you all my love and support <3 If you enjoyed this episode, share it with someone who gets it.

   LOOK AT HOW FAR YOU'VE COME

   First things first, this podcast episode is not about optimism. It is about self-recognition, self-trust, compassion, & understanding yourself. Listen to this when you are on a journey to reach a certain goal or create a certain vision of life, yourself, a project, etc., & you are now unmotivated. All that hope, excitement, & clarity you had at the beginning is now fading. Open up to this space of self-love, celebration, grace, & self-connection. Take this opportunity to stand up to those negative thoughts that say, "I am not doing enough" or "I am working so hard & have gotten nowhere". This is your time to observe & acknowledge all the steps you have taken to get to where you are now. All those obstacles, challenges, or versions of you that had to be present in order for you to be who you are now. Allow yourself this chance to come home to yourself. Give yourself permission to pause & notice how high you are standing on this staircase to your goal or vision. This conversation is for you. If you enjoyed this, send this to someone you are proud of!! 1:1 Coaching & Coaching Programs at livemindfulandaware.com (https://www.livemindfulandaware.com/) 1:1 & Group Mindfulness Sessions at livemindfulandaware.com (https://www.livemindfulandaware.com/) Connect with me on Instagram @mindfulandawaremia (https://www.instagram.com/mindfulandawaremia/) Grab the official Mindful & Aware Workbook (https://www.livemindfulandaware.com/officialmandaworkbook) to build emotional intelligence, self-love, confidence, & intuition!!
