It's all too easy to find things to blame...
"My job is boring."
But, it's far more difficult to take the time to try to understand our feelings, to be vulnerable with ourselves, to admit why we truly feel the way we do:
"My job is slow and doesn’t feel very meaningful. I think this is likely because I don't feel like my work is important, I feel insignificant about myself, depressed, and like I'm wasting my days away. Ultimately, I feel ashamed.
Or
"You make me furious!"
Instead of...
"When you don't clean up the kitchen after yourself, I know this isn't how you likely perceive your actions, but it makes me feel like you don't care about me."
There's something magical that happens when we muster up the courage to share what we truly feel with ourselves.... and then, those we trust.
This week, make an effort to slow down. See what’s truly lying under your impulses. And even better, share what you find with a close friend.
Watch how the world opens up to you in new ways as you focus on becoming more aware and curious of your underlying feelings.
