What Are Your Conversations Telling You?
Your conversations can tell you a whole lot about you and your life. Take for example the conversation you had with Layla last week at work.
She started questioning you about why you worked on Project A before you worked on Project B. You knew you had made the right decision and you had all of your facts and figures right there in your head to back it up but you just couldn’t get the words out in the right order. As soon as she questioned you, your body tensed and your mind seemed to leave the building. You felt slightly flustered and a bit confused.
Think back. At exactly what point did you start feeling tense? Was it the words she was using or was it her body language, how close she was standing? Or maybe, it was her volume?
In what other situations have you felt something similar? Look for and note common themes. Have you been feeling small, threatened or as though you are being blamed for something? I say situations because I promise you that's not the only time in your life where that has shown up.
It's not going to be an isolated case. This is where your conversations and you noticing your conversations and your reactions during conversations and the sensations that you feel during conversations can enrich your entire life.
Start looking for those instances where you feel small or insecure or whatever is coming up. That can be a great jumping off point for managing and mitigating behavior you don't like that holds you back from fully being you and fully enjoying your life. What is keeping you from fully embodying every single thing you were put here on this earth to embody and express and be and share.
Take care!
