The Wellness Journey – Second stop – Rediscover – the Past

We started our Wellness Journey on Pain Island where, in a relationship, you might feel unheard, unloved, angry, frustrated, not respected, etc. The journey we are on is taking us to Pleasure Island, where you will feel loved, heard, understood and joyful.

The Wellness Journey – the 3 intermediate steps – Re boot, Rediscover, Re-energize

Relationship Green, Yellow and Red flags

Last week I came across and shared, a document entitled 12 Relationship Green Flags. I had heard of relationship red flags but I thought this was kind of a neat spin on the concept.
