On Sneaky Links & Situationships

Today, I received a reminder of the importance of being clear in relationships.

Why this topic? Because it happens all the time.

People start a casual relationship and over time it starts to look like it’s more than that. One person starts believing what they see, and eventually gets their feelings hurt, because nothing has changed in terms of their status/the other person’s commitment. They just assumed it did, because of how it felt.

On today’s episode of Share & Let’s Live! with Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist I’m addressing the topic of sneaky links and situationships. I’m share some great stories and truths. Trust you don’t wanna miss this.

Check out the podcast above.

Blessings!

Put a Smile on YOUR Face

What can fill your cup right now? What can you do to put a smile on your face?

What can you think about? Watch? Remember? Plan? Eat? Listen to?

Who can you call? Visit?

Where is your happy place? If you can’t visit physically, go on Google, find it on maps, and choose street view. And visit virtually.

Go on YouTube, search for, and watch your favorite movie scene. Listen to your favorite song.

Make/buy your favorite sandwich. Have a fun smoothie. Have a cup of…

Meditate for 17 seconds… Listen to water sounds or birds chirping… (you can find both on YouTube if not right outside).

At work? Sneak to the bathroom and play your favorite game on your phone for 5 minutes. (I used to do this at a soul-sucking job. FYI turn the volume off. 🤣)

Set a timer. Take a nap. 😴 If you get caught, say, “Amen.” 😂 Then continue with your day. 🤣

We have to find small ways to bring more joy into our days.

I’m about to make myself a cup of matcha and enjoy half a sleeve of mini donuts I grabbed at the gas station yesterday WHILE I watch TWO of my favorite scenes from The Wiz. 🥰

What about you? How will you bring more joy into YOUR day?

Blessings!

BTW The goal is to feel good. So any questions above that send you pondering down a meh or painful path, SKIP. Remember the goal. Feel good. Skip over what feels bad. 😘

Be YOU to You

Super short episode….

Some of us do so much for others. We remember their favorite foods, favorite colors, favorite characters. We go out of our way to get the gifts we know they’ll love, or to remember to pack the medicine they’ll need.

But how often do we put the same effort into delighting ourselves?” —Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist Share & Let's Live! podcast logo watermark in bottom right corner mdillondesigns.com/blog

But how often do we put that same level of care into how we treat ourselves? How often do we drive to the other side of town to get that special meal or dessert that we love? How often do we spend our last dime to put a smile on our own face?

If you do this already, good for you. There are some of us, however, who are so used to gaining our sense of self, our worth, our value, and even our joy from what we do for others. And we need to start to give that same level of care, effort, and attention to ourselves.

Check out today’s podcast, “Be YOU to You.”
