I notice when others push against reality – idealization, disbelief, and outright denial. This is a cue for my desire to accept others, situations, and myself as they are. Feel as I am.
Accept that many things and people won’t be ideal. Believe others with supportive curiosity rather than doubtful skepticism.
With acceptance, I get to decide how I deal with that reality.
I can accepting present myself and still work toward my future self.
For 2018, my theme was COMPLETE
Where I am is the most complete version of me.
As I suspected, thinking of endings often leads me to feel my own resistance. I can complete by starting. Think of a new beginning, a fresh start.
I also enjoy reflecting after something is done rather than looking forward to a finish line
2017 was Go. Starting new things, projects, meeting new people, taking on new commitments.
2016 was Listen. As much as I want to be a creative force, more often I need to use what’s already there.
