Interacting
Today I watched myself interact in a more open, calmer, and clearer way with people I’ve known for many years.
What surprised me is how energized I felt after the interactions. Previously I would have been completely exhausted after this kind of extended interaction. I used to want to know what would happen, when, and how.
Today I noticed I’m feeling free to participate just as I am. I’m no longer needing to try to prepare, strategize, or be anxious about knowing how to behave in order to feel safe, protected, or liked.
I recognize that every delay today allowed me to witness myself practicing patience, to notice others’ reactions without trying to change them, and to trust the process.
Are you noticing any shifts in your life?
