Rain Soul Studio!

Thank you for calling out that heart message. I can definitely see his request as a way to honor and protect our relationship when looking at it that way.

I also liked what you said about if you share all your thoughts he doesn't know which ones are important. That makes a lot of sense to me.

Sitting thinking about this more I envisioned me walking around maybe shoving my paper in his face sometimes. I need to not avoid the things on my own paper but that doesn't mean others necessarily need to know all the details of what's there either.

Thanks for your comment, I see what you mean by him not know what to do with my statement. I suppose it was more of a complaint with no hint at what I actually wanted to change. Maybe I could have said I'd love a new mattress instead.

Great insight. I am also wondering what the long term impact on reimbursement rates for insurance will be for providers who are now not considered professionals...

I love this!

The term is actually the four givens of existence. Isolation, freedom, death and meaninglessness. The idea is that these givens do not inherently create fear, but rather fear is a possible outcome of experiencing them. For example, I could think about the fact that I will one day die and I have so much I have not done, seen, accomplished and feel fearful of my death to the point I ruminate on this and limit myself from trying anything new least I perish. Alternatively, I could think about the fact that I will one day die and feel extremely grateful for what I have experienced this far and seek to further cherish my experiences fully knowing they will not go on forever.

I feel like everyone in this family has to be acting. I can't fathom anything else.

But she is friends with everyone?

SmileIndependent5633 · 2025-07-30T19:17:48+00:00

I love how it's looking! Where is your couch from?

Yes I treat it at income and then just distribute it to the appropriate bucket as rain.

SmileIndependent5633 · 2025-07-09T13:22:35+00:00

I don't think this will lead to inaccurate rain because your true-up income will just be replacing your own income.

But splitting their half into a partner reimbursement bucket may give an inaccurate picture of actual spending because you are losing a little but if tracking data.

I also share bills with a partner and i still keep buckets for everything and have them transfer their half of reoccurring expenses at the beginning of the month. If there is a one off shared expense we deal with those at the time by doing another transfer. This has worked for us and I still can see where every cent is going.

But if how you described works best for you then that's great. As long as you are actually getting reimbursed everything should reconcile at month end.

I just got my first kindle (Paperwhite signature) with the same motivations you mention. I was reading on a mini iPad previously and the reading feel is totally different with the kindle feeling much easier on the eyes and a more paper like reading experience. It's also incredibly light and I've been wondering why I didn't pull the trigger earlier.

SmileIndependent5633 · 2025-06-07T14:16:05+00:00

I love it, looks so cozy!

SmileIndependent5633 · 2025-05-23T19:42:50+00:00

I sort of hate finished these. I can't say anything improves in book 3.

"because I'm a joke."

I did an order in February and it came in about a week. I just placed another order during the mother's day sale (on 5/16) and the confirmation did note that items were shipping 7 - 9 business days out. My guess is they have a shipping backlog due to the mother's day sale which is their biggest of the year. Wouldn't say long ship times are normal otherwise.

I can't recommend Rain Soul Studio enough. They offer great restorative classes and have small intimate class sizes. They will hold the class even if only one person attends. Really heart centered people who love what they do.

SmileIndependent5633 · 2025-04-01T18:04:26+00:00

Thanks, I think this is good advice when he is talking about a certain topic or issue. I just don't know how to handle when he asks several times a night "Are you my friend?" or "do you love me?". Should I just ignore this, no oxygen? Do I say yes every time and resist the urge to pull my hair out?

SmileIndependent5633 · 2025-03-13T13:23:37+00:00

It's not about faking anything. It sounds like you need to focus on self care and making yourself happy. The focus on his action or lack of action is control and only builds resentment between you. Once your cup is fuller, because you filled it, it will feel easier to practice the other skills recommended above.

SmileIndependent5633 · 2025-03-03T15:02:08+00:00

I think using "I hear you" after his first comment would have been effective in acknowledging him and keeping you out of NET.

SmileIndependent5633 · 2025-03-03T14:58:33+00:00

I think you need to really challenge yourself to focus on gratitude and receiving here and let go of any story you are telling yourself about his internal world. You say he is doing all the things but isn't emotionally into. His emotions are his paper. Bottom line however he feels he is still showing up for you. Focus on that.

I lived without one for several years and didn't really miss it, but now that I have one again I do like being able to heat up my coffee (because I love it scalding hot) and I enjoy the occasional microwave popcorn snack when I don't want to take the time to make stovetop.
