You think about him all the time.
And the more you get to know him, the more you miss him when he’s not there.
Still, you’re asking yourself, “Do I really love him, or am I just lonely?” What are the signs you love him and are in love with him?
Put aside for the moment whether he feels the same.
This post is about helping you get clear on what you want — and whether that involves him.
So, how do you know one way or the other?
Creating something beautiful has a healing effect on your mind, heart, and soul — which is extra needful during stressful times.
Thanks to adult coloring books, you don’t even need to be an artist to turn line drawings into colorful works of art.
And since most high-quality coloring books for adults have single-sided pages, you can easily turn a finished project into an artful wall-hanging — if only to remind you to take time out for yourself.
To help with that, here are the 33 best adult coloring books for your enjoyment and stress relief.
The odds are pretty high that you and those you live and work with communicate differently.
Some of you like to handle things right away.
Others need to sit on them for a while.
Maybe you prefer to talk through an issue, and your boss wants to think through it first, then talk.
Sometimes it feels like you and those close to you speak different languages.
Positive and productive communication between couples, friends, and work associates is more about mutual respect and a willingness to make sure each person feels heard and understood.
It’s about talking and listening in a way that is kind, flexible, and considerate.
Different communication styles only become a problem when the people involved don’t accept and respect their differences and fail to accommodate one another.
When one person views their own style as the “right way” and the other person’s style as the “wrong way,” then you’ve reached an impasse before you even begin talking.
Accepting that one communication style isn’t necessarily better than another is the first step in learning how to communicate better with everyone in your circles.
Communication involves written, verbal, and non-verbal forms.
For now, we’re discussing how you prefer to share and receive information through language — your conversational style.
Have you found yourself thinking, “Life should be more than this?”
If so, maybe you're feeling lost about the difference between your current life and what you hoped your life would be.
Author and creativity coach Eric Maisel coined the term “existential intelligence” to describe the weight carried by those with a high sensitivity to the inherent meaning in everything they do.
If you don’t see your daily activities as a meaningful contribution to your life’s purpose, the discord can make you feel anxious and unsettled.
If your job makes you feel dead inside, if your love relationship is stuck in a negative spiral, or if you look in the mirror and want to cry at your reflection, you’re probably feeling lost and wondering how to get to the life you wanted.
Or maybe you’ve already told yourself, “I feel lost in life. But there’s nothing I can do to change that.”
The good news is you’re wrong. There’s always something you can do to reverse your situation.
Whether that something will change your life overnight isn’t for me or anyone else to say, but everything you do matters.
Before we address what to do when you feel lost, you need to know why you’re feeling this way.
And that starts with asking a few questions.
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking (or even saying out loud), “I feel worthless” did you know what was at the root of it?
Did images in your mind remind you of past failures or the shame imposed on you by others?
Or are they on constant replay in your head, making you feel unworthy of love, forgiveness, or even basic kindness?
And would you like to know how to stop thinking,”I'm worthless,” so you can move on and grow into the person you want to be?
Because you can.
Even if, by using the tips in this article, you become more aware of the things that make you feel unworthy, you can learn to accept your whole self and act more like a fully-integrated and powerful human being.
In other words, you can’t make yourself perfect, but you can learn to embrace yourself as you are and make the most of your own unique potential.
