This was a GREAT Chai Talk, Jen! full of so much truth! I use to make up stories of what "might be going on", often imagining that whatever was going on was my fault. I then switched my perspective to learning the lesson in t moment. This year, one of my resolutions, was to walk into situations blindly. By that I mean I walk in without expectation of what will happen, without judgement of others, without playing out scenarios in my mind,e tc. OMG! I was amazed at how freeing it felt! I also didn't engage in others' ego statements. If I notice a trigger statement from someone else, I breathe & don't react. WOW! I am in SUCH a better place now. I was so excited about this year before it began & I am now so excited about what lies ahead. I get excited about not knowing what might/could happen, because I don't need to be in control of anything anymore or anticipate what I think will probably happen. Talk about total freedom! Jen, thank you so much for the work that you do & sharing your insights & thoughts. You are definitely where you need to be! ❤
