feeling heard can change someone’s entire day.

but most of us are only half listening
caught in our own heads while someone we care about
is trying to tell us something they can’t quite say out loud.

active listening isn’t just about the words.
it’s about being present enough to notice what’s underneath them: the body language, the tension, the silence.

that’s what real emotional intelligence looks like in a friendship, it’s a skill most of us were never taught.

Try your best because one day you’ll need someone to show up for you the same way.

I’ve always thought “treat someone how you want to be treated” was only half true

Being a better friend means “treating someone how THEY want to be treated”, being sensitive to what they actually need and then leave room for the give and take.

That’s what it means to be an attentive and present friend. One who stays open to being transformed by the people they love and grows because of it.

Feeling isolated is a vicious trap that keeps us seeking for a fix outside of ourselves, the key to connection lies within, how much are you giving time attention and love to your inner self right now?

Because that’s what will determine how close you feel to those around you. by @with.prema

Relationships are like leaves on our tree of life - they grow, take their own unique shape, give shelter, change colour and eventual leave us.

It doesn’t mean they weren’t special, they played their own role perfectly and without them you wouldn’t have grown the way you have.

It’s often staying attached to the ones who’ve played their role in your life, one that’s have to move on, that stunts your growth it’s unnatural and unhealthy.

Detaching ourselves isn’t easy nor is it enjoyable but it’s necessary to make room for more fulfilling relationships to come play their part.

Are you sure you’re interpreting what someone says to you exactly how they meant it?

Or perhaps there’s some things we lose in translation… by @with.prema

Jung called neurosis “a substitute for legitimate suffering.” The behaviours we form to escape our problems cause us far more trouble and discomfort than we realise.

Without noticing, they become traps that we fall into whilst trying to outrun the pain

Sitting with that suffering and being open to what it reveals in us is often the simplest but hardest way out of the cycle.

I kept flickering between feeling lazy and burnt out because I kept valuing myself on HOW MUCH I got done, the key to finding that sweet spot was knowing why I act.

Understanding WHY I must get up and go for a run, read that book or do the laundry is the real secret behind maintaining a healthy view of growing and “productive”

Act because it’s who you are not because you need what that action produces - that’s just a by-product! by @with.prema
