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.
