Chronicles of Life

Of course, long-distance relationships are nothing new, and for some people, this was just a band-aid fix until things opened up again. But for others, the pandemic allowed them to explore this as a comfortable and viable solution to meeting their need for relationship. For those who find themselves still in a long-distance relationship, without the constraints of shut-downs, you may have wondered, “How do we keep this going?” or “What kills long-distance relationships?” If these questions have ever crossed your mind, you’re in luck. In this video we take a look at a few long-distance relationship killers.

When it feels like we're pouring out more time and energy than we're getting back, it can really mess with our sense of self-worth. The sting of rejection, especially when we take it personally, can deeply impact our mental well-being.

So, let's delve deeper into what to do when it seems like important people in our lives aren't making time for us, and how we can reclaim our sense of empowerment in these situations.

There’s a way of being that I’m trying to cultivate in myself –to let go of wanting others to be a certain way.

Here’s the problem: we all get frustrated with other people. We want our kids to do certain things, our spouses to be less something or other, our friends to change their lives, our relatives to be healthier, other people to be less rude, etc etc.

So what can we do about this?

You’re walking down the street, and you’re worried about being late for meeting someone.

You’re anxious about what they might think of you. You pass some people and worry a bit about what they think of you, without realizing you’re doing it.

You’re worried about some things at work, and all the things you have to do in your personal life (taxes, errands, bills). You have this feeling you should be doing more, doing something else. All the time.

When we see something we don’t like, we wish it could be different — we cry out for something better. That may be human nature, or perhaps it’s something that’s ingrained in our culture.

The root of the unhappiness isn’t necessarily that we want things to be different, however: it’s that we decided we didn’t like it in the first place. We’ve judged it as bad, rather than saying, “It’s not bad or good, it just is.”

So today’s quick happiness tip is simple:think about the goal you want to achieve, imagine the kind of person who has already achieved that goal or created that habit, and pretend you are that person.

In life you have to be really careful on what you are focusing on. Because when you focus on something that you don't want, you end up having it right in front of you

It takes courage to let go of beliefs and situations that we may be attached to, but in going through this powerful process, we are able to focus more positively on our career, relationships, purpose, health, and connection with ourselves.
