A strong marriage built on the foundation of the gospel is a sure foundation for a family to build on. A marriage relationship comes before our relationships with kids or with outside pursuits. We can strengthen a marriage by utilizing the 3 things that can build a strong culture- We have symbols of our union, we have doctrine which can be any history, stories, rules, commitments, etc. And we have our rituals- the things that renew our relationship on a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly basis. We take time to connect in meaningful ways. The way we part and reunite can be significant moments that stick with us, so we want to make those moments count.

Listen in as I share two favorite concepts from Jody Moore that can aid us in using self-compassion! One shows that our worth is constant and unchangeable, the other shows that life has a balance and our expectation that things will go well most of the time leaves us frustrated and disappointed.Check out Jody Moore at jodymoore.com or find her podcast, Better Than Happy.

Our thinking determines the energy that is driving us. Thoughts can be the source of so much discord in our lives! Join me as we take an honest, searching look at them to see if we’re in thinking errors or in truth. We can also add the word AND to hold space for multiple truths at the same time. These truths may seem contradictory AND they can both be true at the same time!Show Notes:Brooke Snow podcast episode: https://brookesnow.com/ep-107-tiny-tip-say-and/Thinking errors article: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/what-mentally-strong-people-dont-do/201501/10-thinking-errors-will-crush-your-mental-strengthWoebot app: https://woebothealth.com/try-woebot/\

Listen in as I model the 4 Steps of Self-Compassion as presented in the book, Self Compassion by Kristin Neff: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10127008-self-compassion.

I also define self-care as not about running from the moment or the emotion but taking an action toward resolution or just being kind to ourselves like we’d want a friend to do for themselves.Four Steps:1- recognize/acknowledge/accept2- you remind yourself you’re not alone in this3- show yourself compassion4- be kind to yourself by taking some small action
