This weeks Fearless Friday episode, is based off of our weekly What's Up Wednesday call, Erick Garcia, does a guest blog post about the call. Hope you love it as much as I do. _____________________________________________ This weeks "What's UP Wednesday?" --Call with Flora, talked about going through the motions. Many times we want to skip ahead to the destination rather than enjoy the actual journey. Sometimes, if not most of the time, we actually choose not to deal with the experience at all. We might be feeling vulnerable and fearful of what we will encounter. Think about how many times we have gone through the motions with our relationships, work, home, and our entire life. Does it feel like we are just watching a never ending clip of a movie that is on repeat? This happens when we deny ourselves the opportunity to stop the "movie" and face the fact that we are not happy. Flora gave a great example of a waitress in a movie that seems to be in complete resistance to her own emotions and feelings. When she is in the kitchen area she is cruel, violent and really angry towards everyone and everything...but as soon as she hits the service area she is super happy and all fake smiles. Once the customers give their order, she heads back to the kitchen cursing at them and wondering why the heck they order the Sunday desert when they should have gotten a salad. This character is what some of us feel like sometimes when we are of service to others but never of service to ourselves. It is important to sit with what you are feeling so that you can heal and move forward with the relationship you have with yourself. Think about how many times in a relationship with another person have you felt that you where holding back? Giving yourself time to sit with it and learn to articulate how you are feeling with other can help you strengthen the relationship and allow yourself to express how you really feel. Flora shared a fantastic Dialogue technique to try when you want to express how you feel: When (fill in what happens), I feel (fill in your emotion) because (fill in happens). What I really need is (fill in). For example: When you get upset at me for not doing things the way you want me to do them, I feel like I am worthless because I can't seem to do anything right. What I really need is for you to understand that I do things differently. If there is a more efficient way of doing things, then please teach me your way and I will see if it is something I can consider. This type of dialogue takes the blame out from everyone and allows you to speak your truth. When you give yourself permission to stop and articulate how you feel, it allows you to release that emotion so that there is no place for it within your body to turn into something bigger. If we want a healthy relationship with ourselves and with others we first need to be honest and vulnerable with ourselves so that we can do the work and heal from the inside out. Take personal responsibility. It is nobody's responsibility to make you happy. Flora gave us a challenge to pay attention when you feel yourself going through the motions. Pay attention to when you are holding back due to feeling vulnerability. Ask yourself this: "Why am I choosing to go through the motions, what am I choosing to avoid?"
