Yo you deserve the best, so don’t settle for less. Being single with high standards means you value yourself. It’s better to be single than to be in a relationship that doesn’t meet your standards. #selfdiscipline #selfimprovement #disciplina #gymmotivation #friendship #relationships #gymlifestyle #quoteoftheday #growthmindset #mindset #success #successquotes

We have a complicated relationship with the idea of settling
151,609

We have a complicated relationship with the idea of settling & I get it. The culturally prescribed meaning of settling is chronically accepting less than your needs or desires because of fear, obligation, or convenience. And when these core needs go unmet (often because our partner simply can’t meet them before they do their own work) we find ourselves stuck, resentful, and disconnected. So yes, don’t settle — but with a caveat: Choosing is different than settling. Never settle on your core relational needs (which are slightly varied for everyone), but we actually do need to settle on other things. Never settle for someone who doesn’t see you. Who can’t sit with you in the discomfort of the unknown. Who doesn’t challenge you or believe in your capacity for growth. Never settle for someone who doesn’t make your nervous system feel regularly safe. Who wants to find love, but not build it. But you will choose someone imperfect. We can project all we want, but we’re all human. Imperfections are our trademark so maybe it’s about asking what imperfections we can live with (and maybe even eventually love)? And whose character aligns with your core relational needs, whatever they may be? I recognize this is a deeply nuanced, tricky, and larger conversation. I also acknowledge that historically, women have had to settle based on an imbalance of power and now more than ever, we have choice. The intention of this post is never (ever) to strip our choices, but instead to explore intention choice rather than taking “never settle” at its cultural face-value. If you’re recalibrating what your love life looks like or how your values show up in your choices, The Love Club is open until 2.22 come hang 🤎 link in bio or dm me to chat

Don’t be the one who settles. you weren’t asking for too much. you were asking the wrong person. choose standards over loneliness. choose peace over potential. choose yourself—every time. ♡ Save this if you’re done shrinking.

Maybe 1 or two times but REPEATEDLY⁉️ ABSOLUTELY NOT 🤷‍♀️ If you keep letting somebody give you LESS and stopping you from enjoying your life to the fullest, because every time you turn around, you have to foot the bill or miss out on something just because they don’t have it then they will do it FOREVER so choose what you want to continue dealing with ✍️ #explore #dating #relationshipadvice #stopsettling #genderroles

The Hardest Truth to Accept Credit: @thatsunhinged One of the hardest pills to swallow is this: No one is too busy. If they wanted to, they would. The truth is, you are simply not their priority. 1️⃣ Stop Making Them Yours: If someone isn’t making time for you, it’s not because they’re too busy. It’s because they’ve chosen not to. Don’t keep prioritizing someone who doesn’t do the same for you. 2️⃣ Know Your Worth: You deserve to be a priority, not an option. If someone’s actions are telling you otherwise, it’s time to reevaluate the energy you’re giving. 3️⃣ Protect Your Peace: Letting go of people who don’t value you is hard, but it’s essential for your peace and well-being. Prioritize those who show up for you. What are your thoughts on this? Have you experienced this before? #selfworth #relationshipadvice #knowyourworth #boundaries #selfrespect #realtalk #selfcare #relationshiptruths #prioritizeyourself #mentalhealthmatters #emotionalintelligence #lettinggo #protectyourpeace #healingjourney #relationshipgoals
