Toxic relationships

People who manage their lives effectively are generally those who work internally who know that success and well-being comes from within (internal locus of control). Negative people generally work externally – i.e. blame others or outside events for everything that does or doesn’t happen (external locus of control).

When emotionally strong people feel good about something they’ve done, they don’t let anyone’s shallow opinions or spiteful remarks take that away from them.

You are in control of keeping yourself safe emotionally. If someone shows you that they aren’t emotionally safe, you have to take initiative and protect yourself. #selfcarequotes #mentalhealthwellness #mentalhealthrecovery #vulnerabilityisstrength #vulnerability #toxicrelationships #toxicpeople #toxicfamily #sherrynafehlmft #toxicrelationship #selfawarenessquotes #selfconfidenceboost #selfconfidenceiskey #selfcarethreads #selfcarelove #womanempowerment #womancare #mindfulnessquotes copingskills101 #mindfullnessmoment #mindfulmft #parentingquotes #parentinglife

Acceptance is a Choice!

 

It's in our nature, to see our life and circumstances through our own perspective.

There are two ways out of a problem: accept what’s happening, see the positive, and choose a peaceful state of mind; or fight against it, be miserable, and struggle against the universe.

I am 100 percent positive that learning to accept things as they present themselves is a helpful tool in all aspects of life.

Whether it’s a family loss, a missed opportunity, or a sudden change in your plans, being able to accept things that are out of your control will help you maintain inner peace and happiness.

Acceptance, in my opinion, is the key to convert momentary happiness to enduring happiness. It helps you move from feeling happy to actually being happy.

Practicing acceptance prepares you to live in this changing world, where you never know what’s going to happen next. Acceptance is like protecting yourself with your own shield.

Let me clarify that acceptance is not at all related to weakness, and is definitely not a synonym of conformity or mediocrity.

We need to learn how to identify when it’s time to persist and when it’s time to accept.
