Resist the urge to fix.

Instead, challenge yourself to ‘just BE there’.

Benefits are twofold: you are growing and getting emotionally stronger & you are allowing the other person to just be and to process their emotions in their own way. The solution/s will come.

This also applies to own relationships with ourselves  You will not do this well for others if you cannot do it with yourself.

One of my client sessions today was a super angry one. Angry to the core! And it was so beautiful in its rawness and honesty and heart.

Then, this normally rational client expressed the pull towards logic – cos that is what one does, right? Our internal chatter normally goes: “Oh don’t be so dramatic”, “I need to get myself together” and so on.

But, as is often true with a good process – when you follow it and validate the emotion (even when it seems disproportionate to you, when it does not make sense, when it is so intense that you do not know what to do with it and when you say the stuff that you do not mean) – a path to your solution starts to unfold. And this is exactly what happened today.

When we are seen for who and what we are, we do better.

Most of us will say that we value honesty.

What happens when the honest answer is a kind and firm ‘No’?

Welcome to assumptions Thursday. I have just been confronted with a bunch of my own 'How oftens'? and wooww the things you discover inside when you choose to look! 😮

How are you going with yours today?

Not only do we put impositions on ourselves regarding ‘unacceptable’ feelings (and then end up with them coming out left, right and centre with even less control and grace).

We also dim what we are about way too often, to accommodate, please, to not overshadow….

One of my favourite lines and something to remember and live by: ‘your playing small does not serve anyone’ A Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson.

In some of our families, we have learnt this crutch-ing game all too well.

When has this dynamic caused you and those you love, harm?

It is a great idea to first look within yourself for answers.

Then, there are also those other times - where lines just have to be drawn, to preserve your own sanity.
