Happy Friday, Fellow Regular Guys and Gals. Why explaining is negotiating and why that's a problem. The difference between contextualizing and explaining. Why spending more time on 'incremental wins' means more than focusing on the big wins. Why there is no sustainability or infrastructure without incremental wins. Why narcissists aren't programmed to respect incremental wins. Why over-giving decreases empathy. The need to be needed and how being needed is Codependent Catnip. How a codependent fulfills a temporary (unhealthy) need to feel superior. The codependent/narcissist system is based on one not having boundaries in giving and the other boundaries in demanding. RGF Bonus: The Buddhist tale of saying less and staying silent (to others and even yourself) will vastly improve your health, happiness and life.

Happy Tuesday Heal Squad and welcome to a Tuesday Chat Show with Maria and Keven. Maria discusses the possibility, pros and cons of having another baby, why we get autoimmune diseases and how we can curb them, the need to (and how to) reparent yourself, living in fight or flight, Maria's new list of to-do's to heal from crippling anxiety and to prevent illness, being addicted to negative patterns and the need to engage in AND celebrate new behaviors while supporting others who do the same.    Baby 'Gennaro': to have a second baby or not have a second baby?  Autoimmune diseases are the body fighting against itself: Maria and others need to stop fighting against themselves.  The need for reparenting: during stressful experiences and discovering healthy means to self-soothe. Living in constant fight or flight: and how meditation can curb this. Maria's new coping list: no overscheduling, conceding certain tasks that are 'not your genius,' meditating daily, saying no and breathing (the potential tie between breathing and autoimmune disease). "You must listen to this every morning": the title of Dr. Joe Dispenza's YouTube video to help cope with fight or flight and autoimmune diseases. Adjusting adverse reactions during stress: establishing new patterns and new behaviors to create new personalities. Celebrating new reactions/responses/behaviors is important: celebrating these moments goes far in cementing permanent change. Unique theory on how autoimmune diseases arise: when you constantly fear outside stresses and danger, your body will eventually do the same to you. Addiction to negative feelings and patterns: is real and can only be curbed with awareness.  HEAL SQUAD SOCIALS IG: https://www.instagram.com/healsquad/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@healsquadxmaria HEAL SQUAD RESOURCES: Website: https://www.mariamenounos.com Curated Macy’s Page: https://www.macys.com/healsquad Rosetta Stone: https://www.rosettastone.com/healsquad 40% off Noom: https://www.noom.com Just Thrive: https://justthrivehealth.com and use promo code: HEALSQUAD 20% off your first 90-day bottle of Just Calm and Just Thrive Probiotic ABOUT MARIA MENOUNOS: Emmy Award-winning journalist, TV personality, actress, 2x NYT best-selling author, former pro-wrestler and brain tumor survivor, Maria Menounos’ passion is to see others heal and to get better in all areas of life.
