Conflict triggers strong emotions and can lead to hurt feelings, disappointment, and discomfort. When handled in an unhealthy manner, it can cause irreparable rifts, resentments, and break-ups. But when conflict is resolved in a healthy way, it increases your understanding of the other person, builds trust, and strengthens your relationships.

Here's a couple of quotes I found - all about writers -

“There are reasons people seek escape in books, and one of those reasons is that the boundary of what can happen is beyond what we do – or would want to see in real life.”

~ James Patterson

“The true alchemists do not change lead into gold; they change the world into words.”

~ William H. Gass

“Description begins in the writer’s imagination, but should finish in the reader’s.”

~ Stephen King

“There is only one plot — things are not what they seem.”

~ Jim Thompson

Self-compassion is extending kindness, love, and understanding toward ourselves.

Having self-compassion means the following:

We love and accept ourselves;

We understand that failing and making mistakes is a normal part of the human experience;

We’re capable of forgiving ourselves;

We treat ourselves with kindness and respect;

We give ourselves the self-care that we need; and

We’re a good friend to ourselves when things go wrong.

Self-compassion has been found to have a significant positive correlation with lower levels of anxiety and depression, as well as higher levels of happiness, optimism, personal initiative and agreeableness. Fortunately, self-compassion can be developed. Below you’ll find five ways to practice self-compassion.

Meditation -

Begin with someone who has helped you; maybe they’ve been directly generous or kind, or have inspired you though you’ve never met them. When you think of them, they make you smile. Bring an image of the person to mind, or feel their presence as if they’re right in front of you. Say their name to yourself, and silently offer these phrases to them, focusing on one phrase at a time:May you live in safety. May you have mental happiness (peace, joy). May you have physical happiness (health, freedom from pain). May you live with ease.Don’t struggle to fabricate a feeling or sentiment. If your mind wanders, simply begin again.

Interesting couple of days - esp emails ...

"If this is madness I have NO interest in being cured thank-you very much!"

John Nash began suffering from schizophrenia during his college years. Despite this, he persevered with his studies, and, in 1994, received the Nobel Prize in economics for "The pioneering analysis of equilibria in the theory of non-competitive games" (game theory). His life and struggle inspired the biography A Beautiful Mind, which was made into a successful Hollywood film.

From an email I just opened -

Ask yourself a question like... If you were already that version of you who has your desires, what would you believe to be true about yourself and your goals?

For example...

  • Everything is always working out for me.
  • I am confident and charismatic.
  • My success is inevitable.
  • Money comes naturally and easily to me.
  • The world needs my gifts.
  • I am entitled to miracles.
  • I am a money queen.
  • I am incredibly good at meeting and attracting men.
  • I trust my goodness.
  • I am love.
  • I am blessed and worthy.
  • I am worthy of the very best in life.
  • I live a life of abundance in all ways.
  • I am amazing at what I do.
  • My content is in high demand.
How would you feel? How would you carry yourself and act? Start to tap into that feeling place and energy now, make it feel natural and normal and no big deal. This is how you become a vibrational match to the reality of your heart and preference.

Enjoy!
