Relationships are not easy. Two people have two different minds, but when the attitudes of one of those involved constantly affect the other, it can be considered a toxic relationship.

Toxic relationships exist not only with couples but also in the family, at work, and even with friends.

A toxic relationship makes you feel sick, empty, and depressed. Staying in one can seriously affect us psychologically. That's why it's so important to get away on time.

In this episode with Lara D'Aurelio, we will be talking about the warning signs of a toxic relationship and how to have healthier relationships.

If you know someone who is in a toxic relationship but can't see the signs, share this episode with them.

Identify the signs and make the decision to leave if necessary. I know it's not easy, but you're strong. You can do it!

[16:40] What types of toxic relationships exist?

Toxic relationships do not only exist in couples. We can also find them in our work, friends, and family. The last one hurt us the most.

The first thing you should do is ask yourself if you stay in that relationship for love or attachment. Second, make sure the other person is open to conversation. Third, start working together to improve.

To have a healthy relationship with others, we must have a healthy relationship with ourselves first. We cannot give what we do not have.

What are you afraid of?

What are you hiding from?

As adults and when we are afraid, we can no longer run and hide behind our parents. Therefore we hide behind our excuses, university degrees, etc.

Sometimes we think that we need to have or do hundreds of things in order to achieve something when the reality is that we just have to take action and keep moving towards reaching our dreams and goals.

In this solo episode I want to talk to you about hiding yourself. About those strategies and excuses we use to hide out of fear that prevent us from achieving something better for ourselves and our future.

Find out what keeps you away from your dreams and how to stop it.

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

[3:20] This before that.

A common mistake is believing that we need something first to achieve something else. Huge mistake! To achieve what you want, start with the minimum requirement and build the rest along the way.

[6:32] Stop designing on the whiteboard.

Second mistake. When we have an idea, we spend months developing it and fantasizing about the final result believing that we are working on it. In reality, what we do is get further away from its materialization.

[8:56] Overcomplicating us.

You must know that perfection does not exist, and when you look for it many times, what you do is waste your time. Perfection is not necessary for things to go well for us. Sometimes, the lack of it can bring pleasant surprises.

[12:30] Collect others' ideas.

I know that we believe that other people's opinions are important to improve what we want to offer our public, but not all ideas are good and can end up diluting yours. Think very well about which ones to take and which to discard.

[14:24] Omitting your story.

This strategy is the worst. When you hide your history, you hide who you are and how you got to where you are now. You put aside your achievements and forget how special you are. Embrace your story and share it with the world. People love it.

[17:24] I need a degree.

The lack of education did not stop anyone from achieving great things, just take a look at the history of the world's greatest millionaires. Stop making excuses, and go for it!

[27:16] 4 Questions that will help you achieve your goals.

1) What has kept me detained?

2) How is it showing in my life right now?

3) How can I approach things differently?

4) What actions should I take?

QUOTES

• “Whatever happened in your personal life made you who you are.”
• “Improving each element of creation before putting it out there in the world is not going to help you.”

Worrying you will not solve anything, but taking action will.

The following week is Blue Monday. In the UK, we consider this day the saddest day of the year. We came back from the holidays and worried about all the money we spent, debts, etc. It takes hold of us, added to the darkness of the clouds that surround the country along with its low temperatures.

I'll tell you something—I'm a recovering worrier. I have it in my DNA, it is part of me, and I had to learn to control it. For this reason, in this episode, I will share five tips with you that helped me change the way I think and take me to live a less stressful and less worried life.

Spend your time relaxing instead of worrying.

Enjoy the episode!

EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS

• [12:48] Be in the present.

Most of the time, we worry about things that will happen in the future. We occupy our minds and waste our time in situations that have not yet occurred or may never occur.

You can only change today; enjoy the now.

• [13:29] Practice awareness.

The most important thing is to learn how to identify it to stop it. Ask yourself, is this worth continuing to occupy your mind with this worry?

• [14:53] Ask yourself about the possibilities.

I recommend using the third-person strategy to answer this question. Often, we need to put our feet on the ground and think if we are giving more importance than it deserves to the problem or situation we face.

• [15:53] ​​Turn that thought into an action plan.

One of the mistakes we make is worrying without doing anything about it to change it. Ask yourself, can I solve this right now? and start taking action.

• [18:18] Don't focus on the negative.

In every circumstance, moment, or situation that we go through, there is always 50 percent that everything goes well and another 50 percent that it goes wrong. Focus on the positive things because you never really know what life will have in store for you.

Positive thinking manifests positive things in you and your life.

QUOTES

"The best antidote to worry is action." -Patricia Manley.

"By thinking about your worries, you focus your attention on the future, and you are not living what is happening now." -Patricia Manley.
