Tips for Creating New & Lasting Friendships

Image
  Hey Friends and Everyone out there! Here's my TOP 20 tips...    These tips are based on lived experiences from myself and other friends & apply to all relationships but, today I’m typically focusing on friendships that we form after we have left very extreme belief systems that provided instant connections for us in the past. They also equipped us with false expectations, critical judgement of others, terrible information (like building codependency instead of inter dependence & independence ) and seeking for validation from others.( yikes)! So being out for the last 7 years these are my personal experience tips , my two cents, if you will...

Fear is normal

- its how we respond to it that makes us different! for example- take myself! On the outside I'm a gung-ho momma on the move, always crafting, baking, working out, playing with kids, planning parties and playdates and otherwise keeping busy. Looking at me you'd never know that I have fears- big fears! Like the ones that could consume my every thought if I let them. But, i don't and I'm finally okay with admitting that it's okay to feel this way- slightly scared of what may be ahead. And out of control for the most part.  You see having had 5 miscarriages, already I'm basically pre-programmed to fail in this arena of my life. So, how do i deal with that?- I expect failure and am pleasantly surprised when a baby succeeds to a full term birth- in/ from my womb. And every opportunity I get to think that the baby may not be living- I pounce on it so, I can prepare myself from FEELING SAD! YEP, I psych myself into this subliminal preparatory mindset- that I ...
