They were judgmental and critical. I knew that they loved me and I loved them, but I couldn't feel it.So I tried something that you've probably tried that didn't work very well. I thought to myself “well, when I'm mean and judgmental, it's because I had a bad day or was triggered by something, but when they are mean and judgmental, it's because they are a mean and judgmental person who doesn't care enough about me to be nice.” That made me pity them, which is not love.So I went back to the drawing board, and I had a realization that transformed this relationship and so many others! I realized that a lot of people were trained to believe that the epitome of love is controlling somebody into safety. That's what they were trying to do for me.So, I started hearing those words under their judgments and criticisms. I started hearing “I love you so much and I'm terrified that you're not gonna be safe unless XYZ.” And my response started to be “thanks for looking out for me“ and then, I'd either response to their advice or I wouldn't, I'd take their advice or I wouldn't.I also set boundaries. I do this all day long, but I can't personally stomach just saying no yet.So instead, I use this formula:1. State my positive intent2. State that I understand and am grateful for their positive intent3. Draw the fluid boundaryWith this person and some other difficult people, I do that first and if they still cross the boundary, I say "I can't talk about that" and give them something I *can* talk about. Usually, I ask them to teach me something - gardening, history, cooking, whatever they are into. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Emotional needs have gone unmet in childhood. Grew up with a feeling of loneliness and lack of belonging. - Morgan's note: As a person who is insecure in relationships, if you close your eyes and picture a time in your childhood, you will almost certainly envision a situation in which someone else's needs mattered more to you than your own. Most likely, you will realize that your needs didn't feel like they mattered at all in that situation… and many other situations from your childhood. - Morgan's note part 2: you were probably obsessed with making someone else happy and as an adult, you haven't realized that you can't do that for someone else.2. Fantasy begins (typically before age 7) where child develops a fantasy world. Usually around a family on tv, a desire to marry the perfect person, or a belief that someone will rescue them.3. Culture reinforces fantasy through ideas there is "the one" or the "perfect person" or the "fairy tale"4. Adult subconsciously believes there is one right person who will make everything fall into place.5. Adult projects all of their unmet childhood needs onto partner. This is subconscious. They believe their partner should make them happy, cater to their wounds, and unconditionally love them in a way a parent could not. - Morgan's Note: NO ONE THINKS THAT THEY ARE DOING THIS! But we all are until we heal ourselves. All of us. I promise.6. Ultimately the partner cannot meet these expectations. There's disillusionment, anger, and pain.7. Person goes on search to again find the perfect person without properly grieving the romantic fantasy.Dr. Lepera explains that “awakening means we have to grieve the fantasy. We have to recognize that people are human. And they will bother us, annoy is, and activate us.And more importantly, love is a practice. It's not a feeling. It involves conscious choice and effort from BOTH people.It involves waking up and saying: "we are in this together. I choose you. Through our relationship (even the difficult times) I learn more about myself. I develop more awareness and resilience. Together we build trust. Together we are not perfect, but I have matured enough to value the peace of security over the chase of the fairy tale.”' Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"Be curious, not judgmental." - Ted LassoI heard this quote on Ted Lasso. As we have all experienced, we feel so much freedom and comfort when people are curious about us rather than judgmental. Because when we are looking for reasons to love & accept each other, we find them. & when someone sees us as lovable, it goes a long way in helping us believe that maybe we are. So, it makes a heck of a lot of sense that being curious towards others makes our lives and the lives of those around us so much better. It's life-altering advice for our relationships with our lovers, our haters, and everything in between.Today, I realized that “be curious, not judgmental” isn't just life-altering advice for how we view others. It's even more life-altering when we apply it to ourselves — our bodies, our actions, & our feelings. I get caught in the frustration of not living up to my own expectations in my actions, achievements, & appearance sometimes. But beating myself up has never once helped me achieve more. It just stops me right where I am, too busy glaring at myself to move forward. Which makes it impossible to connect with anyone else. Sometimes, I get so busy looking for what is ugly about myself, what others must hate about me when they see it, that I can't see anyone or anything else. And I don't think I'm the only one.The comfort and freedom that comes with being curious about myself instead of judgmental is the fiercest fuel on the fire of growth I've found yet.Like Mr. Rogers said, “When we love a person, we accept him or her exactly as is: the lovely with the unlovely, the strong with the fearful, the true mixed in with the façade, and of course, the only way we can do it is by accepting ourselves that way.”MY INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/themorganburchEMAIL ME: https://morganburch.com/contactMY TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@morgan.burchPODCAST AUDIO: https://morganburch.com/podcastAPPLY TO BE ON THE POD: https://calendly.com/morgan-burch/discovery-callWHO THE HECK IS MORGAN BURCH? https://morganburch.com/about Hosted on Acast.

DM me on instagram, babe! https://www.instagram.com/themorganburch/Right after college, I remember reading an Alan Watts quote in which he said something like “the purpose of life is so simple, it is just to be alive.”I remember thinking he was wrong. I remember thinking, “But I am alive, and that does not feel like enough. My life feels sad and dark and empty and boring, even when it supposed to feel exciting. Surely, there is more to life than just being alive.”I spent so many years trying to find my Passion with a capital P.I was desperate to find the thing that would make me feel the way fighting makes Conor McGregor feel or the way writing makes JK Rowling feel.What I discovered instead was the truth that things we are passionate about, as wonderful as they are, are merely sparkling conduits to our deepest feelings of aliveness.I don't know if this is what Alan Watts meant, but I have found that the purpose of my life is to feel alive, which sounds simple. But it is a terrifying undertaking because it requires almost constant discomfort. But the alternative is so much worse. As Paulo Cohelo said “If you think adventure is dangerous, try routine - it's lethal.”Maybe you read “feeling alive” as partying and drinking or chasing instant gratification or living as a beach bum. But those things usually don't make me feel alive. They make me feel like I am avoiding life.When I feel sad, dull, and lifeless, I have to go out and be desperate for life itself. I don't dream of being a billionaire or a mother or a CEO. Having those titles never gave anyone joy. The life woven in the pursuit of doing them well did.Which is why I have no mountain top I'm desperate to reach. I have mountains I'm excited to climb.I am desperate to be shaken back to child-like wonder as often as possible, to grow ceaselessly, to be radically honest, to learn, to bare my soul, to see your soul bared too, to feel, to explore, to risk being judged, to dance with danger, to fall and get back up again, to try and fail and try again, and most of all, to love. I don't mean romance. I mean the space where I have found all of life be— in that vulnerable messy tangle between two people, between you and me. Hosted on Acast.
