But You Do Know: On Claiming Your Power Instead of Hiding in Your Fear

  As someone who loves you and supports your highest and best, I feel it’s important for us to have a little heart to heart today about the way you sometimes refuse to claim your power. We don’t have time to get into whether you do it knowingly or not… the bottom line is the strongest vibration wins; every time you say, “I don’t know” about your ability to rock your dreams and vision, you are sabotaging your efforts whether you mean to or not. When you wonder things like, What gifts do I truly hold? or What could I… …Read More »

Go Where You’re Celebrated, Not Where You’re Tolerated

“Don’t try to convince anyone that you’re a good person. Quit trying to win someone over who isn’t kind but only tolerates you-you don’t need their approval. Be kind, be respectful, but you don’t have to stay… go where you are celebrated. Keep living forward and trust that the right people are there. You never need to convince anyone to love you.” – Joel Osteen Rejection. I can remember that yukky feeling going all the way back. It seemed lots of people didn’t love me as much as I loved them. People in my family. Some of my teachers, some… …Read More »

When It’s Time to Take off the Superhero Cape

Superheroing is something we learned to do. Many of us learned to fly with our capes on before we could even walk. Keeping the peace and keeping people happy mattered to our own survival and so the needs and wants of the people around us came first. Often we were at the mercy of these people (and their moods) and so our own needs became tied to making things easier/better/happier for others. Their happiness equaled ours, their upset equaled ours. Today this need to take care of people in order to have ease and peace for ourselves has persisted and… …Read More »

Your Kindness Is Not a Permission Slip

People don’t always understand what they’re asking of you. When they want a little something extra, they’re not thinking about what this little extra will cost you. They’re not considering what their thinly veiled demand will mean to your sanctuary. They’re trying to get under the rope because they believe it matters. When we’re upset, we get a little messy. And we handle things badly. We all forget about common courtesies from time to time. BUT. That’s no excuse. You can’t let people run you over. Your kindness is not a permission slip. Stop trying to explain it to them.… …Read More »

Healthy Boundaries and How to Set Them Even When It’s Scary And Nobody Understands Why You’re Upset // Tea with Robin Podcast Episode 34

robin hallett intuitive healer setting boundaries

If you ask me, we spend way too much time worrying about things that other people might do or say in response to us being who we are. We worry about the perfect way to be in order to avoid upsetting anyone else and because of that we end up doing things we don’t want to be doing. We say yes when we mean no. We pretend to care when we don’t. We act interested when we aren’t. And in those times when we speak up and do what we need to do, we can feel so tortured about it… …Read More »
