Why We React Instead of Listen
We listen to react. Why? Because we listen through our personal filters and we are ready to assume the answer must protect us.
Do you always find yourself in relationships that are unbalanced?
The more secure you are within yourself, the more space you create for love to flourish in your relationships.
Many people struggle with relationships. Many find themselves excluded and alone from friendships they have had for years.
Have you found yourself:
• Excluded from activities and conversations.
• A sense of only being included when it convenient for others.
• In shock realised that you have been lied to.
• Feeling that you compromise often.
• Have an awareness that you are constantly being judged.
And to compensate for all of these so that you do not lose your friendship you:
• Find excuses for their behaviour
• You keep quiet - no matter how much it hurts.
• Suppress your emotions because perhaps you are overreacting
The question here is what is "missing" within you that you feel you can only gain that from the outside world?
What is your pain-point within relationships? What is your vulnerability?
It is not only about you or about the other person.
You are both playing roles for each other - pushing those emotional buttons.
So how can you show up differently so that you can have meaningful and fulfilling relationships?
If you are ready to change old relationship patterns, get out of the destructive familiarity that you have settled for, know that you can make that call today.
