"I feel more alive, more present - I have WAY more e energy. My relationships feel more honest and real."
~ Lori Seattle |
What haven’t you been saying? Many women have been primed to communicate in a less than honest way. Social norms and expectations sometimes dictate how much comes out of your mouth. The times have changed, and continue to change. The old rules don’t count anymore. The voices of your mind, heart, and spirit deserve to be heard. Yet, you continue to hold back. You know you have more to say, from a special place that feels safe and secure, until that other voice, the voice of your inner doubter and critic, quiets the special voice, the voice with the real power. Which of these situations do you identify with?
You strive to be nice at work. Everyone counts on you to volunteer for this and that because they know you won't say "No." You already have too much to do, but they rely on you, and you can't let them down. You tell yourself, "Next time, I'll say No," but next time never comes. You don’t want to hurt anyone's feelings. How do you respond when someone says or does something you disagree with? Smile inwardly, and convince yourself it’s no big deal? Smile outwardly and withhold your truth? Silently rant and rage to relieve your stress? Shout your disagreement and then quickly say, “I’m sorry?” You’ve been silenced by fear or intimidation. Maybe you were told, “Children should be seen and not heard.” Or you become unnerved when in conversation with someone who uses a loud, aggressive tone of voice. You’ve learned that’s it better to not say anything because you won’t really be heard anyway. You don't trust your intuition. You think you know, but you find yourself asking others, “What do you think?” You forget to communicate with your inner wisdom and your intuitive heart is begging for airtime it doesn’t receive. You don’t want to look like a b****. C’mon, it’s true. That’s what you sometimes feel when you hold back. Rather than rock the boat and risk being called the “B” word, you quietly wear your good girl face. And deep inside, your heart and soul are deflated. You can change all that. We will be successful working together if you are honest about how your communication style is currently causing you to feel stressed and uneasy. You’re tired of holding back. Your willingness to take a risk, to step way beyond your comfort zone, and to express your authentic self will make it easier for us to work together. You’re no longer a victim. Instead, you are poised and ready to take control of your birthright to say what’s on your mind. You won’t be helped to blame other people or find excuses for continuing as you have. Those are traps that hold you in the grips of acceptance and complacency for your current circumstances. You will, however, be fully supported as you take small steps or big leaps to vocal freedom and spiritual soundness.
