Here's what this is all about:?? Honest, deep conversations are valuable and important. They develop greater connection and trust within, and between, yourself and the people in your life.?? Tune into your own energy and intuition, what you feel. And TRUST it. You, and your system know more than you can rationalize or explain.⠀?? Let it out. Don’t hold yourself back because you’re afraid of taking up space, annoying people, or prying too much. Be you.⠀This is an ongoing process. Something I’ve worked at, and continue to work at, because I want to show up as best I can for people in my life.⠀As I’ve spoken on before, I have aversions to taking up space. Issues around consistently sharing my thoughts, questions, and feelings (especially in person) because I don’t want to annoy people or overstep perceived boundaries.⠀I often sense things in people, and I’m uncomfortable asking the questions that pop into my mind.⠀I often want to share something I’m feeling, but I’m uncomfortable jumping into communal space.⠀A part of me goes back over many interactions I’ve had, both recent and very old, and worries that I didn’t listen well enough, I didn’t ask enough questions, didn’t tune in enough to the other person/people, and that I spoke too much (especially about myself).⠀I simultaneously worry I should’ve said something I didn’t. That one always feels crappy, doesn’t it?⠀All that being said, I LOVE talking with people. I love getting deep, and just being present around others, connecting with them.⠀I’m introverted, independent, AND social. But it has to be the right kind of social for me.⠀I’m lightyears ahead of where I was even a couple years ago, and in some ways unrecognizable from 8-10 years back. I keep digging, and keep finding more opportunities for growth.⠀I am extremely perceptive (that makes me uncomfortable to even write). It’s time I own it fully instead of dismissing what I feel and think.⠀I believe most of us are more perceptive than we give ourselves credit for. I’m trying to choose more often than not to listen to myself…so I can better use my voice.⠀NOTES:⠀I’ve uploaded this audio as a podcast episode in case you’d rather listen than watch. Also on YouTube.⠀I’ll be planning to do a Little Chair Chat at least 1x per week.
