Change begins with 1 choice

Yesterday we completed the most important class of our Relationships That Work Program.

Perhaps the most important class of the school we call “Life.”

Trauma.

It’s the underlier, the foundation of your being, your life - and mine.

It defines your self-identity, your story, and the relationships you have with people at work, and people at home.

It’s not a “for better or worse" thing.

It’s always for worse.

It’s also the reason for…

Your lack of confidence.

Believing Feeling you’re not good enough.

Imposter syndrome.

It’s the reason you push yourself so hard to succeed

To the point of burnout

And ignoring the other things - your health and people - who are important in your life.

It’s the reason you turn down great opportunities

Or sell yourself short

And invite allow people to take advantage of you

It’s the reason you’re full of resentment, anger, frustration

And make choices that destroy your relationships, your wealth… your happiness

You see those people around you that do and say and react in ways that make you just scratch your head?

That’s their trauma.

And that’s you.

And that’s me too.

There are many layers to healing.

But if you take it waaaay down deep to the core

Really, there’s only one thing you need to do

There’s just one thing that works

Fully accept yourself

As you are

Here and now

Embrace all of you, 100%

And know from your core

That you are okay, good, fine

There’s nothing wrong with you.

Stop finding reasons to prove you’re not good enough.

And start finding reasons to prove you’re good enough.

And when you see something about yourself you don’t like?

Cool.

Life is wonderful because there’s always room to grow.

Don’t like it?

Change it.

It’s a choice.

How you think of yourself is your choice.

The story you write for yourself is your choice.

Whether you want to change or not, and how, is your choice.

Your entire life is of your choosing.

Whatever you see in your life that you don’t like

All you have to do is choose once more.

That’s what the leaders in our Relationships That Work program have been achieving, applying the lessons learned to step by step change their lives - at home and at work.

They made a choice

Choosing this journey to together to create the new version of their lives, one that they want.

Look around you

What do you see in your life?

If everything you see showing up in your life is what you choose

What are you choosing?

Is the result what you want

Are you actually happy?

It's a feeling, not a tangible thing you can hold or show off.

(And for some of you - do you even allow yourself to feel?)
