Kindle Notes & Highlights
you need to do more than eat nourishing food, exercise, and rest to feel your best you also need to be around good people, spend time healing your emotional history, live in alignment with your values, say no to people-pleasing, stay open to growth, and deeply embrace change
a real conversation with a good friend can be so powerfully healing sometimes what you need is to be truly vulnerable and feel completely seen connecting with another person at such a deep level can leave you feeling reenergized and refreshed
a big red flag is when someone can’t spend time alone if they feel lost when no one is around or when they are not in a relationship, then they are deeply disconnected from themselves
there is a moment of victory that eventually happens when you take your growth and healing seriously. you start to notice that you are no longer the same person who started the journey. every day is not a great day—there are still plenty of challenges—but there is a new freshness to life and the low points are not as low as they once were. tough emotions don’t control your actions the way they used to. when you do react, it is no longer as intense or overwhelming. you are not perfectly happy all the time, but that was never the goal. instead, you feel a new sense of calm because you’ve more

the reality of relationships is that you are not going to be the best versions of yourselves every day. it is normal for there to be hard or slow days, moments when your past comes up strongly, and times where a lot of your energy is simply focused inwardly on healing.
preventative communication can reduce unnecessary arguments. when you take the time to let your partner know where you are in your emotional spectrum (you feel down, sad, happy, short-tempered, etc.), it gives each of you the information you’ll need to support each other well. don’t wait to be asked “how do you feel today?” volunteering the information, especially when you are in turmoil, can be so valuable to you both. it helps you admit to yourself what emotions are currently passing through you, and it gives your partner useful context for understanding your mood. this level of
