Ever try to control your partner? How's that working for you?It's never worked well for me and if I ever figure out how to do that, I'd be a gazillionaire.No... that's not true. I wouldn't tell anyone how to control someone else, because I don't believe we should try to control each other.Instead, I believe in personal responsibility and showing up as the best version of myself that I can in any given moment. One of the ways I do that is remembering my Serenity Manifesto.In today's episode, I share that and the three choices you have that are born from that manifesto to help you feel better when things are not in your control. Resources mentioned in this episode:Brené Brown, Atlas of the HeartByron Katie, Loving What IsIf you like this episode, please leave a review and share with your friends.If you want to work on loving yourself more, download my free resource: 3 Steps to Love Yourself More at https://sheilamorgancoaching.com/freebie

Just like you'd want to review your job performance or a student's progress, you need to review your marriage. Think of it as a check-up. Otherwise, how do you know what's working and what's not, if you don't review it? In this episode, I share a three-step process to help you take a non-judgmental, honest look at your marriage. This is the beginning of training your brain to see the good things in your relationship and not just the bad. It also helps you start separating out what's in your control and what isn't. And, trust me, that matters.As I always say, your relationship with yourself is the foundation for all your other relationships.
