It all starts with awareness.
A lot time we are guilty for living life with blinders on. We avoid topics and conflict. We are afraid to take the time to self reflect. We don’t listen to feedback from our loved ones. We do not want to know, what we deep down already know about yourself.
When we commit to being aware, we start to look at what is right in front of us. We now start to take note not only of what we are doing but what the results are. We notice patterns in our own behaviors as well as repeated cycles we create. We can even see beliefs we hold on to be true, that really are not.
A friend of mine and I were talking one day. Throughout our lunch I would share with her my thoughts or experiences and she was reply with, “Yes but…. Yes, however…,” Whatever I said, she would agree but then have something to add to show how I wasn’t really correct.
I finally confronted her with how I felt. I said, “Every time I share something, I feel as if you are correcting me on my statements.” She told me it was not the case and she was only adding to the conversation.
As we walked to our cars to part ways, she said good bye and frustratedly said, “Why is that everyone keeps telling that I correct them all the time. I do not get it!”
