Most personal growth happens in relationships. The very purpose of relationship is personal evolution of both parties involved - in relationship we are pushed to evaluate our values and beliefs, and face our hidden insecurities that need healing. The relationship remains healthy if we are willing to stretch and expand our comfort zone, in other words, this is how we grow and become mentally mature. We need all kinds of relationship: romantic relationship, same gender friends...hips, relationships with people in our community, etc. Today's post is about the importance of female friendships that is different from relationship you have with with your husband/partner. When guys get together, the testosterone dictates how they relate to each other. Usually it is a solution oriented conversations, with elements of boasting to keep up their esteem in front of other men, or relating aroud same interests kind of friendship. When women get together, estrogen is in the air.. Estrogen gets rebuild when women hang out together, talk about their emotions, care for each other. Listening and validation takes precedence over solutions. We talk about our marriages, our sex life and details about our significant others and the family that most guys rarely discuss. Although men are our counterparts, there is something beyond special about the female bond that women have with each other. Cultivating female friendship is important for women's mental health, and selecting the kind of friend that is supportive and accepting of who you are becomes important if you want to live your life consciously and intentionally. You can tell when your friendship is authentic if both of you are: - comfortable in your own skin - don't seek attention and don't need to be liked - are not thin-skinned and don't take things personally - consistent with your words - not timid or modest, nor boastful - feel at ease, in a flow, and safe to be yourselves - feel grateful #beingawoman #sisterhood #femalefriendship #womenempoweringwomen #women #mentalhealth #authenticity #beinghuman #lifeisajourney See more

Most parents find parenting challenging. Understandably.. I believe that we are too preoccupied with all the parenting strategies to help our kids to "do better" and we don't pay enough attention to WHO WE ARE as parents, and to how to cultivate a better parent in us. I often ask my kids for feedback on my parenting and it has proven to be more helpful than any book I have read. Try following questions with your kids: - what is your favorite thing about living in our home? ...- what is your least favorite thing about living with us? - how did you feel loved today? - describe me and daddy in three words - what would you change in mommy and daddy if you had a magic wand? - how can we love you better? - what is your favorite part when we are together as a family? Kids don't do what we tell them to do - kids do what we do. There is such thing as mirror neurons that helps babies to learn a language and other skills, meaning that kids mimic our behavior unconsciously. Be mindful of that. Become the kind of parent your child needs you to be and it is not just your child that will benefit, you will grow too. That's how most intense personal growth happens... #evolve #love #personalgrowth #faceyourchallenge #risetothechallenge #familylife #parentingtips #motherhood #fatherhood #consciousparenting #healthyliving #healthyboundaries #raisingresilientkids #raisingconfidentkids #raisinghealthykids #raisingsuccessfulchildren #kindness

That's right - it can be that simple. But simple does not mean easy! Try this and let me know if your disagreement turned into a fight and consequently, resentment. It takes a strong character and good emotional regulation skills to be able to suspend your opinion while trying to understand your partner. It takes practice. And it's worth it! It takes the same amount of effort to learn the art of validation as it takes to fight. But validation leads to resolution and grea...ter connection/intimacy, and fight leads to resentment and disconnected relationship. #intimacy #validation #balancedmind #artofdetachment #conflictresolutionskills #relationshippurpose #conflict #disagreement #arguments #relationship #connectedrelationships #human #howtobemarried #love #truelove #beinghuman

Love is not enough. Conflict is not a reflection of our feelings for each other. Conflict resolution skills depend on our ability to understand and accept each other, to KNOW and SEE our partner for who they are. Try this: in times of disagreement temporarily suspend your view on things and make room for another's opinion, trying to understand what they are saying. Validation does not mean you have to agree with their view. Validation means you accept the EXISTENCE of thei...r point. Proven method to NOT let disagreements turn into an arguments is to use one of two responses: 1. "It makes sense to me that you see it this way." OR 2. "Help me to understand this better. Say more." To resolve conflict it takes an open mind, curiosity, compassion, and emotional regulation skills - it takes a healthy mind. Also, practicing healthy conflict resolution is the very HOW we heal our mind...I'll talk about that in my upcoming post, because it is another big topic #beinghuman #fighting #peacefulfight #emtionalregulation #purposefulrelationship #meaningful #consciousliving #relationship #imagotherapy #relationshipcounseling #psychotherapist #psychotherapy #couplestherapy #marriage #disagreement #arguments #healthymind #openmindedness #validation #love #truelove #compassionatelistening #compassion

Aim for meaningful relationships - not a social status. One way to build strong friendships is to start off by being real, being YOU, ensuring that you are building friendship with like-minded people. (Keep in mind, that you are average of five closest people to you.) One of the best books on how to build your social life is by Dale Carnegie "How to make friends and influence people"

We don't "find" friends - we make friends.

Wellness is not mere absence of a disease. Feeling well requires wholesome, holistic approach to health.
