If it were true that being in love meant you wouldn’t be attracted to other people, we wouldn’t need to agree to monogamy…it would just be a natural biological imperative and nobody would have to “decide” on it. It’s much more likely that you can love many people, and be attracted to many people simultaneously without that having to mean anything about how you feel about your partner. What you choose to DO with those feelings is a whole different topic of discussion. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to be in a relationship with more than one person, that is a personal choice to make for yourself. All relational styles are valid, and come with pro’s and con’s. I’m just here to say that having those feelings is okay, natural, and should not be a reason you doubt how much you love or care for your partner. Let your choices and behaviors around how you honor the agreements in your relationship speak to that instead. Thoughts? Fears?

We are not supposed to follow rules. We are meant to HONOR agreements. ~Descending Depths Image by Descending Depths + AI #honoragreements #norules #descendingdepths #quotes #womenwritersofinstagram #womencreatives
According to @wikipedia: "The United Nations, referred to informally as the UN, is an intergovernmental organization whose stated purposes are to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international cooperation, and serve as a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations. . . . "The UN was established after World War II with the aim of preventing future world wars, and succeeded the League of Nations, which was characterized as ineffective. On 25 April 1945, 50 nations met in San Francisco for a conference and started drafting the UN Charter, which was adopted on 25 June 1945. The charter took effect on 24 October 1945, when the UN began operations. The organization's objectives, as defined by its charter, include maintaining international peace and security, protecting human rights, delivering humanitarian aid, promoting sustainable development, and upholding international law. At its founding, the UN had 51 member states. As of 2023, 193; almost all of the world's sovereign states, are members." Clearly, because of Russia's unprovoked aggression against Ukraine, and because of the war crimes and acts of terrorism it has committed with impunity there, the UN Charter is due for a major revision if the UN is to remain in existence and maintain any credibility. #russiaisaterroriststate 🇺🇦💔💙💛😢🇺🇦 #Repost @ukraine.ua with @use.repost . . . International law, agreements, or moral values mean nothing to Russia. We have already seen similar horrors throughout the world's history. The resolution is always the same — put the terrorist back in its place. No place for the Russian Federation in the UN. No peace talking with the country that kills sleeping kids in their homes.

When you hear your partner say, "I'm fine," they probably aren't. Are you taking the time to recognize and respond to small signals your partner is giving away related to the state of their mood, such as an "I'm fine," a deep sigh, or a distracted stare? Attunement is a key component of any relationship. To achieve it, you have to pay attention to the little things, too, so you can be there to support your partner when they need it. What does an “I’m fine,” mean in your relationship? #relationships #relationshipadvice #relationshipadvice #couplesgoals #marriagestory #healthymarriages #buildabettermarriage #thetrustsolution #resolveconflict #makeagreements #honoragreements #mutuality #trust #connection #relationshiptips #relationshiptools #bettercommunication #attunement #cyclebreakers #therapyworks
Now that the weather is shifting and days are shorter for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, I find that it can be challenging to stick with my early morning outdoor exercise rhythm. We're looking into getting a treadmill so I can the momentum flowing. I also make a commitment to myself to arise by dark o'clock before going to sleep. How about you? How do you acclimate your exercise routine during these shorter (and colder) days? I'd love to hear your tips and so please share in the comments. #paigehamilton #paigehamiltonintegrativecoaching #phic #integrativecoaching #coaching #coachinglife #mindset #integratingheadwithheart #gettingoutofyourownway #create #creativity #entrepreneur #innovation #innovators #shorterdays #colderweather #exerciseroutine #stayconsistentnomatterwhat #honoragreements #consistencyiskey
One of the most basic principles but seldom discussed is the importance of honoring agreements. The practice of making agreements truly came about for reasons of efficiency and not of bureaucracy or fear. The practice simply puts everyone on the same page so things can move forward without hindrance. Breaking agreements means breaking an established trust and that creates a disruption in the collective Flow process, whether that be in personal or business relationships.

We can all use a road map sometimes. So can your relationship. the roadmap is the common values, your mutual goals and the vision for the your future. Some clients create a relationship vision by actually writing down the qualities that they value in their relationship and merging these lists such as “in my idea relationship we...,” stated in positive terms such as “we resolve conflicts peacefully” or we “support each other’s ambitions .”. Try it and see what you come up with. #therapistsofinstagram #relationshipgoals #buildabettermarriage #thetrustsolution #resolveconflict #makeagreements #honoragreements #mutuality #trust #connection #growthmindset #relationshipproblems #marriagecounselor #relationshipexoert #therapistsofinstgram #relationshipcoach #communicationiskey #couplegoals #thetrustsolution #relationshipadvice #relationshipsbelike

Great post from @therapywith_emily about alternatives to contempt, which is the most toxic element for relationships. Keep your awareness sharp for any signs this is entering into your relationship dynamic. #relationshipskills #buildabettermarriage #thetrustsolution #resolveconflict #makeagreements #honoragreements #mutuality #trust #connection #growthmindset #relationshipproblems #marriagecounselor #relationshipexoert #therapistsofinstgram #relationshipcoach #communicationiskey #couplegoals #cyclebreakers #therapyworks
Conflict avoidance leads to bigger problems. Asking for time to address a concern when it comes up and using dialogue, which makes these conversations safe from escalation, is an important skill that needs to be in every couples’ toolbox. Do you address conflict in your relationship as it arises? #buildabettermarriage #thetrustsolution #resolveconflict #makeagreements #honoragreements #mutuality #trust #connection #growthmindset #relationshipproblems #marriagecounselor #relationshipexoert #therapistsofinstgram #relationshipcoach #communicationiskey #couplegoals #resolveconflict #conflictresolution
All relationships have ongoing arguments over perpetual problems that center on fundamental differences in personality or lifestyle needs. However, it’s important that you talk and work through them rather than letting them fester and create a tension you cannot overcome. What is one recurring argument you have with your significant other that is on the verge of eroding your relationship. #staymarried #conflict #trustlove #trustandbelieve #relationshiptools #marriagecounselors #mft #lcsw #psychology #relationshiphelp #happymarriage #relationshipskills #buildabettermarriage #thetrustsolution #resolveconflict #makeagreements #honoragreements #mutuality #trust #connection #growthmindset #relationshipproblems #marriagecounselor #relationshipexoert #therapistsofinstgram #relationshipcoach #cyclebreakers
when these three qualities are alive and well in your relationship both people thrive and experience the love, commitment and validation that keeps a relationship strong. #relationshiprules #marriagegoals #couplescounseling #thehappywife #staymarried #conflict #trustlove #trustandbelieve #relationshiptools #marriagecounselors #mft #lcsw #psychology #relationshiphelp #happymarriage #relationshipskills #buildabettermarriage #thetrustsolution #resolveconflict #makeagreements #honoragreements #mutuality #trust #connection #growthmindset #relationshipproblems #marriagecounselor #relationshipexoert #therapistsofinstgram
Well family I’m just realizing right now that I didn’t post yesterday so you are about to get a late night double blessing! Regarding this post, we will fail each other because we’re human, but it’s best not to make a habit of breaking our promises! Let do what we say we’ll do! Be intentional about your marriage this year. Join me as I post daily reminders. #honoragreements #marriage101 #traciray
Morning walk with the venerable Tibetan monk Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen...”when you look deeply into your anger at another , you will see the person you are angry at is often yourself, and both of you are suffering . As soon as you see that , the capacity for self- acceptance and having compassion for each other , is there and re-connection is possible again. ” #buddhist #wisdom #keeppromises #honoragreements #orkeepsuffrering
#HonorAgreements #KeepFighting #WeatherTheStorm #ThereIsSafeHarborInTheStorm #DontGiveUpTheShip Today I had the privilege of wrapping up 24 months of litigation for one of my clients who has truly had to weather some storms. It is a privilege to keep fighting for people! A few thoughts on what could’ve prevented this—people and business partners honoring their agreements.
