Hi my loves 🦋 In today's episode, we are diving deep into no longer being "low maintenance" in relationships by first looking at WHY we accept the bare minimum, situationships and relationships that do not serve us and mindset shifts, journal prompts and reminders to finally get out of your patterns. I hope you resonate 🤍 Today's Journal Prompts: 1. What have I accepted and negotiated in my past relationships that do not align to what I truly want in a relationship and what do I want in a relationship? 2. What is the way that I tend to shut down when it comes to seeing that my relationship needs are not being met? EXTRA PROMPTS 3. What’s one daily habit that I could practice that will help me get closer to becoming the version of me who has strong boundaries? E.x letting myself have a second to respond to a request before saying yes or prioritizing a certain set of personal life goals before spending excessive amount of time in my relationship) 4. What qualities would I love to see in a person when it comes to conflict and how they respond when I’m bringing up that my needs in a relationship aren't being met? 5. What is a reminder that I can tell myself in the times that I am too afraid to walk away? (example- letting go of something that is not 100% for me, allows me to get closer to what is 100% for me) My book The Ultimate Glow Up Guide 💗 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GPFQ1JJD?ref=sp_email My guided journal series https://a-journey-back-home.teachable.com/l/pdp/a-journey-back-home My book recommendations can be found here https://amzn.to/4hfP6Sb Link to my digital journal guides https://beacons.ai/theglowupsecrets My main channel @eliciagoguen All my home, wellness, clothes, self-care faves can be found here https://www.shopltk.com/explore/eliciagoguen/productsets Link to my microphone, camera & my favourite tech items https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-280d1a49/list/2P83PPZGKLP00?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsflist_aipsfinfluencer-280d1a49_426RJGVE7WH4HG1KCM9X The Glow Up Secrets podcast channel https://www.youtube.com/@theglowupsecretspodcast My audio podcast, instagram, tiktok & pinterest can all be found here: https://eliciagoguen.komi.io Timestamps: 00:00 intro 01:05 how to stop being low maintenance in relationships 03:52 gaslighting yourself 06:47 the cycle you keep playing out 14:14 grant yourself MORE 18:25 get clear on your needs and wants 22:25 communication 32:49 healthy love #anxiousattachment #secureattachment #datingadvice #relationshiptips #healingjourney #selflovejourney #selfconfidence #podcastsforwomen
