What are you telling yourself?

Take a moment and listen to yourself. Listen to the thoughts you are having. What are you often telling yourself? Are your thoughts supportive, critical, negative or positive?

Comparison Trap

May 24, 2019 by Menije Leave a Comment

Comparison trap is a dead-end street. It always ends with feeling bad about yourself. It leaves you feeling unaccomplished, not good enough and unworthy. It can lead to feeling resentful, angry or jealous. It never leads to positivity, self-confidence or motivation. Theodore Roosevelt is quoted to say; “Comparison is the thief of joy.” So why […]

Lessons I learned from my daughter

May 24, 2019 by Menije Leave a Comment

Why do we even talk about New Year’s resolution?

May 24, 2019 by Menije Leave a Comment

“What’s your New Year’s resolution?” A common question asked in a family gathering, a work party or a social event. It’s a question that some have a very definite answer, where others refuse to come up with one. In their defense, the New Year’s resolution doesn’t have the best reputation. Often the number of people […]

Finding your inspiration

May 24, 2019 by Menije Leave a Comment

When things get stressful and sometimes overbearing, we find comfort in things around us. Sometimes it’s a song or a picture that reminds us of our strength. It can also be a transitional object that belonged to a loved one or from a period in the past that made us happy. For me, it has […]

Why does it matter to feel our feelings?

May 24, 2019 by Menije Leave a Comment

In psychotherapy, often there are goals about emotions. In particular, finding ways to manage and reduce their destructiveness. Most avoid, repress or run away from their feelings.
