Today we have the opportunity to support others, to encourage someone in finding her/his truth. Let's show 'em how it's done!
*******************
Blech. I sort of hope no one was watching!
Sometimes I get wrapped up in being supportive, and end up smothering people with "availability" and advice. Other times, I hold so hard to NOT smothering, to waiting to be asked for help, I don't actually see the request. And of course there's the times I am frantically trying not to be smothered by requests, real or imagined.
And then there are the times I second guess every thing I've done for the day because I'm not sure I did what I needed to do, so replaying it lends, I don't know, backward energy? Not as productive as one could hope.
So, here is me, showing me how it's done.
If I were talking to anyone else, I would ask, "Did your actions cause harm? Were your intentions less than honorable (by your standards?) If yes, do what you need to do to fix it. If no, then okay.
Now step back and breath. It's over. It's done. You did better this time than last, correct? And you'll do better next time. It's all a learning process. When you get this part right, you'll find something new to fret about. So stop!"
"Better" means actions I am less likely to judge myself for. Against? Next time, I'll feel better about my actions. I will second guess myself less because I'll be more certain they are the actions I can support. I will act more from my truth, my foundation. Each time, I do get better.
So I am stepping back. And breathing. And further more, I am going to do something (work on a story) that makes me feel positive and productive.
I may find something new to fret about. Something new with which to test my worthiness. I'm a human. But I'll also handle it better, because of everything I did today.
I hope you had a great day!
