What are you not saying, doing or feeling?
April 30, 2023
What are you not saying, doing or feeling because you are afraid?
Are you not telling your partner what you really need from them?
Do you succumb to your kids’ tantrums because you are afraid they will flip out more?
Are you holding back anger or resentment towards a family member from past hurts?
Have you withheld speaking up at family gatherings to keep the peace?
Are you not revealing your fears around your adult kids’ choices?
Do you feel too afraid to take that next step, worrying you might fail?
Everything you are afraid of is an invitation to cultivate courage.
It takes a lot of courage to speak your truth, stand up for your needs and shift your patterns, particularly in your family system, because of the unconscious long standing family dynamics that have been held in place for decades, since the moment you were born in fact.
While these reliable patterns are not delivering the results you desire, at least you know what you will be getting. There is comfort in the familiar. Shifting these long held patterns that keep you feeling stuck and trapped in the most disempowered ways is a scary step into the unknown. Upsetting the apple cart is not easy to do and there is soooooo much risk to your ego’s need for control.
Rome wasn’t built in a day and neither are your patterns. It took time for you to create your ways of being, and it takes time to transform and alchemize old sticky unfriendly patterns into the gold they are meant for.
Cultivating courage takes consistent practice.
When you step into your most empowered self, you are a powerful model for your kids, spouse, family, friends and every human you are in relationship to because….
YOU are a powerful force on the planet and your impact and influence matters.
