b'This time your spiritual best friends are talking about misguided emotional dependency. It\\u2019s a word we\\u2019ve all heard before, so what does codependent mean? And more importantly, how do we notice this pattern and shift it in our lives?\\nWondering, what is codependency? Here are a couple of definitions we like: your mood, happiness, and identity are defined by the person you\\u2019re interacting with or you sacrifice your own needs to try to meet the needs of others. While this pattern can apply to a partner-specific dynamic, like in relationship addiction, today we\\u2019re looking at it as a broad set of attitudes and behaviors.\\nIn case you\\u2019re not sure this topic applies to you, here are some signs of codependent relationships: difficulty making decisions, difficulty identifying feelings, difficulty communicating, valuing the approval of others over your own, not knowing what you like, and fear of people.\\xa0\\nStruggling with codependent behavior? We want to share how spiritual tools can help us get to know and trust ourselves. While there\\u2019s no immediate fix to this learned behavior, we\\u2019ve got a bunch of tools to help us get to know and meet our own needs and wants.\\xa0\\nWondering how to overcome codependency? We\\u2019ll share how pause, prayer, and compassionate inquiry can help us take really good care of our own lives. We also love the idea of dating ourselves! We\\u2019ll talk about fun experiments to get to know yourself with care and curiosity, the same way you\\u2019d get to know a date. Let\\u2019s can use self-awareness to show up for the most important relationship\\u2014 the one with ourselves.\\nFind us on\\xa0Instagram,\\xa0Twitter,\\xa0Facebook,\\xa0Insight Timer,\\xa0Google Play,\\xa0Spotify,\\xa0Soundcloud,\\xa0Podbean, and\\xa0Stitcher\\xa0(or our\\xa0Contact page) and share your feelings, thoughts, and tools.'
