Loving Support System: Got One?

Michelle Vasquez — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 15:14:48 +0000

Creating Happily Ever After Love Tip: Do you have a loving support system of friends and family who help you through the rough patches in your life? I do. I appreciate their listening to my joys and sorrows.

If you don’t have people to connect with and to give you a more balanced perspective when you feel “on the edge,” find some. Social media private groups have helped so many people. Meetup.com has a huge directory of groups with a wide range of interests where you can make lifelong, in person, friends.

Move away from those who focus on negativity. Gravitate toward life-affirming, upbeat people who challenge you to be your best!

Time to Move On?

Creating Happily Ever After Love Tip: Do everything in your power to make your relationship work. Read, learn, and implement your learning. Take classes, and go to therapy or coaching if needed. Invest in yourself and in your relationship, even if you’re the only one doing it.

If, after giving your best and putting your heart, mind, and energy into making it work, you find that you are dealing with a partner who doesn’t want to participate or make the necessary adjustments to make your relationship work together, it’s okay to let go.

Don’t take this step lightly, and get professional help if you need to. Address your feelings of guilt, anger, fear, and sadness (among many other feelings). Find some much needed support. Take care of yourself while going through a difficult transition. Learn from this experience and forgive yourself. Continue to live a life that brings you joy and allows you to create happily ever after for you in the way that works for you.

Your Beliefs Create or Destroy Happiness

Michelle Vasquez — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 16:05:25 +0000

Creating Happily Ever After Love Tip: Give your loved ones the benefit of the doubt before you believe something negative about them or refuse to believe something good. Just because you believe it doesn’t mean it’s true.

Conversely, just because you DON’T believe it doesn’t mean it’s not true. Be careful to examine your beliefs thoroughly. Sometimes you may be mistakenly believing or not believing when the reverse is actually true.

When you believe (or disbelieve) blindly, you are in danger of using emotional reasoning to “know” what you think you know as fact. Refuse to allow your personal biases, previous baggage, or unexamined beliefs get in the way of creating the life you love. You and your loved ones deserve more than this.

Survive Holiday Stress

Michelle Vasquez — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 17:52:40 +0000

Holidays are wonderful times for many. Some people find them a bit stressful, especially with all the family togetherness. Others find them downright insufferable, despite what they know they are “expected” to feel during the “happiest time of the year.”

You may love your family, but have a hard time keeping a smile on your face the whole time your family is together.

Sail Through Holiday Stress

Michelle Vasquez — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 16:46:45 +0000

Good Friday to you! I have not written a blog post in quite a while, as my days have been so full of activity. I hope you have been doing well, preparing for the holiday season, and creating happily ever after in your relationships.

This time of year is one of my favorites. I listen to Christmas music as much as I can and love every minute! I hope that you have some wonderful traditions that you share with your family during the holiday season.

If you are dreading all that family time, I am presenting a workshop about surviving the holidays with your family.

Here is the info:

Sometimes, as much as you love your family, it can be tough to spend so much time with them when you gather. So this workshop is about ways to survive and actually enjoy your family time.

WHAT’S NEW?

I have been doing a lot of new things lately. Therapy and relationship coaching

are serious business, though I help my clients by encouraging them to laugh often, as laughter helps them think about tough situations differently.

To add some fun into my life and get in touch with my “Inner Girl,” I recently became a Cookie Lee jewelry consultant. I have had so much fun wearing the jewelry and helping women discover how they can create a beautiful look at affordable prices. I do this through home and office shows, and I can also do online shows. Those who book shows with me can earn free jewelry, which is so cool! Check out the beautiful fall/winter catalog at http://cookielee.biz/michellevasquez and see for yourself what I mean!

With much love and gratitude,

Michelle

Clear the air: talk about it

Michelle Vasquez — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 13:25:07 +0000

In a relationship it is very important to clear the air and get your needs met. This is especially important if you are a woman. Often, in the process, they end up feeling tired and resentful because they are not getting their needs met. Make a pledge to take care of yourself and nurture your relationship through dialogue today!

Dialogue helps us understand each other

Michelle Vasquez — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 13:22:51 +0000

You and your spouse are different. You have two different brains! Even if you grew up in similar cultures with similar values, you still will have different thoughts and ways of understanding. In addition, men and women think differently because of socialization and physiological brain differences.

The best way I know to learn about how to relate to the one you love is through dialogue. This involves speaking from your heart and listening with a desire to understand. Give your relationship the gift of deep listening and speaking your truth in a gentle and loving way.

This is especially necessary for women, who, in general, tend to the needs of others before they take care of their own needs. Often, in the process, they end up feeling tired and resentful because they are not getting their needs met. Make a pledge to take care of yourself and nurture your relationship through dialogue today!
