On Self-Worth (Part 1): What is your relationship to YOU?

In today’s video, I am using a silly, everyday example of a reusable waterbottle to speak to my clients about self-worth, self-esteem, and what we truly value.

The point of my analogy is that what we value, we take care of. What we don’t, we disregard or mistreat. Pay attention to how you treat YOURSELF! Take a look at your values. Don’t just be aware of what you SAY you value, pay attention to what you actually do. How are you taking care of you? How are you speaking to yourself? What is your relationship to self?

The only way to have high self-esteem is to see yourself as WORTHY of care. The first step to growing one’s self-esteem is to be aware of the value you are putting on your time, energy, etc. Self-care has become a buzzword on the internet, but it is about more than routine bubble baths; it is about creating a caring relationship with yourself and cultivating that sense of self-worth.

Resisting “SEE”, the first step in SEE. CHANGE. DO.

In toay’s video, I’m pulling back the curtain on group coaching with me. This is a rare sneak peak at how real and honest we get in my sessions.

In this clip, I was speaking to my LEvel 1.5 clients- the ones who have gone past the beginner level of coaching and are really digging into the work. The catch is that when you get to higher levels and your awareness increases, it often comes with more resistance. That is simply because once you SEE yourself, you may not like what is coming up.

That is OKAY. That is perfectly natural. However, this work is not about shaming yourself. I am here as a coach to support you to move through those difficult emotions. I don’t want you to beat yourself up. I simply want you to SEE what is going on so that you can know what to CHANGE and DO differently.

We are a team working together towards your highest awareness.

Today’s , we are continuing with the theme of blame. Today, we are talking about the reactions that come up when one is blaming.

Yes, blame is a natural thing that our brains do- AND it is here to TEACH US. When you notice yourself blaming, notice what reaction is coming up for you.

Are you running away from blame? Denying that you’re blaming and lying to yourself? That’s flight.
Are you angry that you are blaming? That’s fight.

Look at where you want to ignore or downplay blame and see your reactions. THAT IS YOUR TRUTH. Right there is where your work lies.

Like I said last week, Blame is part of the process. Move through it. Notice your reactions. Learn your patterns so that you can increase your awareness and responsiveness over time. But step 1 is to not ignore blame when it shows up.

Are you afraid to blame life (or God)?

Today’s touches on blame. For those who have been with me for a while, you know that blame happens. It’s not a “bad thing”; it’s an automatic process of the brain.

In my coaching sessions, I often ask clients, “Who are you blaming for this don’t want situation?” and one of my clients wanted to say “God,” but she was scared to be that honest. So today’s goes out to everyone who has ever felt guilty, scared, or ashamed about blaming God during hard times.

It is perfectly OKAY to blame God, the universe, Allah, etc. Whatever you might believe in, you are loved no matter what. You are not a bad person for blaming a higher power. You are allowed to blame and still be loved.

Don’t you still love your kids when they lash out and blame you? That same grace is yours. It is totally normal to have blaming thoughts and blaming feelings. In fact, that honesty is key to doing your work and becoming more responsive over time. Be honest. Blame is part of the process. Move through it and know that you are loved.

The Key to Your Work Lives in Small “Don’t Wants”

I often say, how you do one thing is how you do everything. In the WAY process, it’s a skill to increase your awareness. Today’s is a protip- pay attention to the SMALL don’t wants.

If you really want to deepen in this work, practice mindfulness when the stakes are low, when the inconvenience is minor. That way, you are training your mind to be more aware during the bigger don’t wants. If you melt down when you are stuck in traffic, how do you expect to handle life’s big blows (i.e. death in the family, job layoff, etc.)?

My WAY program is a process of getting to know yourself better through increased awareness and daily mindfulness. The best way to do that is to practice even on smaller don’t wants. That is the time to apply the steps you’ve learned until it becomes second nature.

Are you accidentally creating codependent children?

Evolutionarily, humans are dependent on others to survive. As babies, we need our parents to provide everything. Dependency isn’t a bad thing, it is natural. However, CO-DEPENDENCY is maladaptive.

Co-dependency is when we THINK we need the external other for something. As we grow, we gain more and more independence. As a society, we value physical and financial independence, but we aren’t teaching our youth how to be emotionally and psychologically independent.

Many parents are accidentally teaching their children co-dependency by modeling it. Today’s asks you to notice where you are co-dependent. Look at where you are looking towards the external other to regulate YOUR internal emotions. Look at how often you try to control what others think or feel.

In order to raise independent young people, break this cycle of co-dependency and control and move towards more positive parenting practices.

Building Awareness Endurance

Awareness is a skill like everything else. Today’s is a lesson on building your awareness endurance.

It’s easy to be aware when things are calm. It’s much harder to apply the skills when your kids are misbehaving or you’re in a tense argument with a peer for example.

The challenge is being aware that you’re in a don’t want WHILE it’s happening. That’s where the real work happens. Can you see yourself reacting? Can you see your thoughts? Are you arguing right now to be right? Or are you trying to communicate, it’s just not happening effectively?

Asking yourself these questions is how you stretch your endurance muscles.

Are you spinning in unhappiness? Are you stuck in the story of the thing/moment/event etc. that caused you pain?

If you find yourself talking about how unhappy you are over and over again, it can serve two different purposes.

Firstly, it garners attention. People listen and they care for you and you feel supported by your loved ones. This is wonderful and necessary at the beginning of a healing process. But after a while, people are tired. They won’t tell you to your face but they are definitely thinking “enough already, get over it”.

While no one should rush your healing process and you’re allowed to take as much time as you need, there does come a point where the unhappiness is no longer serving you. You’re not even getting positive attention anymore. You’re just stuck.

Today’s encouraged you to let that unhappiness serve your EVOLUTION instead. How do you do that? You must move from ruminating to analyzing with curiosity. Ask yourself from a place of conscious awareness, “What is here for me? How can I grow from this experience?”

First SEE that you’re stuck. Then CHANGE from ruminating to asking yourself those important questions and lastly DO something different by approaching your unhappiness as something to learn from not something to suffer in.
