A new day, a new opportunity, a new lesson.

The lessons are necessary in order to continue on the path of self-growth.
 
We may not always get it right the first time, therefore it is important to be open to the opportunities that get presented. The opportunities will lead us to the lessons.

Give yourself permission to ask for support, to stumble, and to be vulnerable. In our humility we gain self-love and self-respect. Do not let others influence what we already know. Don’t let others excuse bad behavior, we know what feels disrespectful. 

As you gently ask for what you need step back and let the air clear. Sometimes for ourselves and others digesting uncomfortable information takes time. Be gentle and kind to yourself even if it is a challenge.
 
While it may be difficult to ask for what we need, a gentle, loving approach an uncomfortable situation may lead to a positive outcome. Trust that you will know when you are headed in the right direction.  
 
Be mindful about the courage it takes to lovingly confront unhealthy situations. Also be mindful of the courage it takes for others to take responsibility for their behavior. When both parties in the relationship are vulnerable and are able to work through difficult lessons, clearly they are on a path of self-discovery and self-growth.
 
Energy work can help you to see the lessons, and uncover and discover new healthy patterns of thoughts and behaviors.
