A sign of maturity is caring more about being respected than being liked.

Liking is shallow affection. It comes from being pleasant—you bend over backwards to accommodate others.

Respect is deep regard. It's earned by being principled—you consistently stand up for your values.

@youdotcom Does the pro plan include unlimited queries? It looks like the team plan does, but I'm unclear when it comes to the pro plan. Is there a limit to the number of queries per day in the pro plan?

Just in time for Thanksgiving, I received a copy of the Portuguese edition of 'The 5 Minute Gratitude Journal' (Cinco minutos de gratidão). Thrilled to see gratitude reaching new readers in a different language. THANK YOU for your support! 📚🙌 #Gratitude #Thanksgiving

Let's clear up a common misconception: Negative emotions aren't the enemy but part of the human experience. It's okay to feel them, so instead of resisting them, let's welcome them with warmth and understanding. #negativeemotions #allfeelingsarevalid #allfeelingsarewelcome

Feeling like you need to control everything? 🤯 Take a breath and remember, sometimes, it's okay to let go. Surrender to the journey and try and embrace the uncertainty. Life just might unfold in some surprising ways. #anxiety #anxietyrecovery #letitgo

Are you chasing happiness on the outside, and distracting yourself from what's really going on inside you? 🏃‍♂️ Remember, true happiness starts from within. Don't let those inner feelings take a back seat - they're your compass to a balanced, joyful life. #chasinghappiness

Ever wonder why you're drawn to certain types of partners? It's not a conscious choice, but usually patterns from the past playing out. Unpack those old bags and you'll be able to consciously choose your partners and consciously create healthy relationships. #attachmenttheory

Curious why you're so hard on yourself? 🤔 Turns out, it might have started with your well-meaning but perfection-seeking parents. They influenced your self-talk more than you think. #selfcriticism #innercritic #negativeselftalk #perfectionism #imperfectlyperfect

Remember when you built those walls around your heart? 🧱 It was a survival move, but it's okay to let them crumble slowly now. You're stronger and wiser now babyyy ❤️ #openyourheart #brokenheartsdoheal

[dr. sophia godkin @sophiagodkin]

We don't get to pick where we start – our parents, our past, they're set in stone. But here's the thing: the future, it's ours to shape. And I don't know about you, but that gives me so much hope! #yourpastisnotyourfuture

Let's talk about happy couples, shall we?
Type 1: The "pretend everything's fine" crew. 🙃
Type 2: The "let's face our stuff, grow stronger, and thrive" team. 💪💑
Which type do you want to be? #happycouples

[dr. sophia godkin @sophiagodkin]

Happiness doesn't demand perfection, y'all!
It blooms in the messiness, where real life takes place. 🌻

When it comes to your emotions... 🌟
Choose to express, not to repress.
Opt for understanding, not avoidance.
And approach with curiosity, not with judgment.

#Intimacy: 🤗 I'm connected with myself enough to be truly connected with you, and you're connected with yourself enough to be truly connected with me.

[dr. sophia godkin @sophiagodkin]

Ever notice how our conversations can hit a roadblock when we're all about defense and protection?🛡️ True connection thrives when we open up and let those real, raw feelings shine through! #vulnerability

[dr. sophia godkin @sophiagodkin]

Ever wonder if your conversations are running on autopilot, fueled by fear and frustration? 🤯 Or if you're taking the wheel, steering with reflection and understanding? It's a choice that can make all the difference! #relationships #communication101 #relationshipcommunication
