When dealing with situations where you are being honest instead of fictitious, people will witness your character and feel more inclined to notice you as a “one of a kind” friend to them. 4. The truth saves you from a lot of trouble Mindfulness is a wonderful practice to help us be more responsive versus reactive in day-to-day life. It is something we can lean on when our truth is not welcomed or when the truth of others causes discomfort within us. It is an opportunity to pause and reflect on what feelings, thoughts, and emotions are arising. We can give ourselves space to process and then determine the next step. When something triggers us, we always have a choice as to how we respond. A lot of people are afraid to say what they want. That’s why they don’t get what they want.” ~Madonna If you’ve spent a lifetime pretending and hiding, it can feel really awkward and messy when you start to speak your truth. It’s still worth it.
Speaking your truth comes from knowing who you are, from self-knowledge, and knowing your purpose in life. Your purpose is something you do. It’s something you are called to become. And, as with many things in life, achieving your purpose can sometimes take a lifetime of practice. You denying your heart’s desires is not noble. It’s a waste of some damn good desires.” ~Jen Sincero I found learning to speak from my heart a difficult art to master, because there’s no doubt in this world that the truth can be scary and not everyone always wants to hear it, especially when it involves a painful conversation. However, when the alternative is to endure a situation you’re not happy with, speak from a place of fear, or lie, all of which will leave you mentally and emotionally exhausted, speaking from your place of truth suddenly seems a brighter option doesn’t it?Today, I am growing beyond the cage that sheltered/ protected…I strive to change the old thoughts patterns by affirmations that strengthen my wings and encourage my family to feel empowered, I hope, as well. Thanks for sharing There are many ways that being withdrawn, or fearful of our voice, manifests into our decision-making and relationships. Here are a few common examples I see: For example, here’s Markle’s account of her surprise wedding three days before the ceremony watched by people around the world: “I was thinking about it [getting down to basics]—even at our wedding, you know, three days before our wedding, we got married.” If you, like me, tend to stuff your feelings and needs to avoid conflict or stay invisible, it’s a given that you need to speak up more.
Our desires are a critical part of who we are. They reflect our values and our identities. When we’re not in touch with our own desires, we’re susceptible to putting others’ needs before our own. Social convention tells us that there are only two acceptable answers to the question “How are you?” “Good” and “Fine.” This is a microcosmic example of our cultural disdain for sharing our authentic feelings. Nonetheless, the habit persists. Everyone wants to leave a certain type of mark in this world. When you speak your truth, you’re able to leave a lasting impression in this world. Speaking your truth isn’t just a mundane action that focuses just on yourself, but on others as well.
Speaking your truth will surely piss some people off and that’s a good thing. It’s time now, in your boomer years, to live your life the way you want to – the way you feel – yet always, of course, with reason and kindness. It is not necessary to push your truth onto someone else. And it’s not your job to fix anyone. However, it is your disposition to speak your truth when necessary to a person in conflict or to a person who plainly asks you what you think and how you feel. On the journey to becoming that woman, I have learned that authentic communication is like working a muscle: hard at first, but ever easier with exercise. Unnecessarily Apologetic: What others consider a perfectly reasonable comment from you, in your mind can easily be perceived as a mistake or “too much”. You feel the impulse to offer an apology when none is warranted. Love & Relationships July 26, 2019 Positive and Negative Relationship Traits of the 12 Zodiac Signs
