Women who Love too Much Community Group
WHEN BEING IN LOVE, MEANS BEING IN PAIN... This group is to help women through the journey of realizing they can love themselves. To help realize that they are capable of having a happy, healthy, whole relationship and break the cycle of abuse and heartache from loving emotionally unavailable men.
There are a lot of quotes that pop up on my FaceBook page about not looking back and just moving forward..But I like this one which is a bit different..
"Sometimes you have to look back to in order to realise how far you have come"
The whole lot of us are given to too much introspection and sometimes that serves to bring us down by taking us away from the here and now. If you have to look back, then look back and see how far you have come..Celebrate by listing 5 things you now do differently from 5 or 10 years ago because of what you learnt about relationships.
My list:
1. I am getting better at saying no when I feel "no" inside
2. I now have boundaries, both internal and external
3. I no longer do things just because I feel obliged to
4. I am beginning to tell what my emotions are separate from other people's emotions.
5. I know the more I resist the harder something is..The way to go is to let go and surrender...

1. I am a much better communicator now. I can speak in a healthy way. I can express my feelings, wants, needs.
2. I am far more self aware now. I know what I'm feeling, when I've been triggered, and why.
3. I set better boundaries (still need improvement) and am not as much of a doormat as I used to be.
4. I am the master at spotting red flags and doing research on someone before I get involved.
5. I don't tolerate abuse anymore and even though I still give people a few chances before I'm sure, I walk away when I realize a situation is toxic.
No man can save me, rescue me, or make me love myself.
I don't date men addicted to alcohol or drugs, gambling or porn---
I need to know who I am, what I want and be on purpose before I can feel good about dating
When it comes to my son- I am a no bullshit mom. If he disrespects my son. Im done.
Relationships are great for learning and seeing who you really are when you stop looking at your partner.
