learning more about ledger and diem

very interesting start to the book

very interesting start to the book

i read about the anxious avoidant trap and did an exercise on my past relationships. it also spoke about fixing relationships in the cycle and breakups

i read the chapters about avoidant and secure attachment styles. i strive to be a more secure partner in my next relationship

i read the chapter on anxious attachment. i got some pretty good information and i related to it for sure

part one was amazing!

my favorite chapter i read today was the one about letting go of our need to be right. instead of being right, i need to focus on being kind, loving, and gentle. that’s who Jesus is

this chapter has some good stuff. the chapter i resonated the most was about regrets

i finished part 2: which is about being hurt and lonely. i learned about how i need to run to God and open the line of communication with Him so that i can trust and live freely

the chapter i read was about when we get hurt i learned some good things about this because i’m in a stage of hurting

i learned about labels and others’ opinions. i have to trust who God says i am. i am loved, forgiven, and chosen by him. i am not what other people say i am!

i learned that Jesus wants me to come as i am. he never asked me to be busy but to be with him. i also need to trust God. he is for me and he can help me through anything

this book seems like it’s going to help me in my personal life from a Godly perspective. i can’t wait to read more!

the next two chapters were about shaping relationships consciously and learning to respond instead of react. these are two key areas i need to work on

part 5 is about committing to yourself. the first two chapters speak about listening to your body (energy) and five small steps. they include adopting an emblem, treating yourself, stop saying i’m sorry, letting go of imperfection, and being kind to your body.

this part was about caregiving and self love. even though i’m not a parent yet, i still found the advice to be applicable to my other relationships in my life

self love in professional life is hard but necessary. i learned about valuing myself in the workplace and how to be financially fit

i learned the ways to love my self. this means taking control of my time/ attention, not over-giving, detoxing from toxicity, setting boundaries, and owning my whole story

i learned more ways we sabatoge self love- letting guilt overtake, relying on false hope, ignoring intuition, never saying no, and having self limiting beliefs

i learned about 2 methods where we don’t love our selves- 1 is seeking external validation and 2 is doing something based on societal norms

this book has some really useful things. her stories and so powerful. i’m excited to learn more about self-love
