Fearlessly present your feelings

Air Temperature: 9 Degrees         Time: 8.35am

There are days when despite efforts you just don’t get to the river as quick as you would like…rather time seems to race and simultaneously you appear to be going at half speed. Usually such days reflect tiredness or head elsewhere and hence the usual energy for motivation lacking…

Head elsewhere ‘reflecting’ today…reflecting on perceptions and how individuals all have slightly different perceptions and in truth every persons ‘reality’ is as such different… what seems like a gesture of ‘inclusion’ to one…can appear like ‘second best’ another…who is right?

Both – in their own reality…and their emotions of frustration and disappointment play out accordingly… not an easy dynamic to reconcile… how many relationship dynamics bash against each other in such a way?…how easy it can be for interactions to become emotional ‘reaction’ and for dynamics to become tense, blame projecting and explosive?

Communication the key to reconciliation – and mindfulness I guess. Seeing and understanding the other’s perception whilst not losing sight or compromising your own… easier said than done…especially if an empath whose defunct behaviour is to make others ‘happy’ usually at the expense of their own mental and emotional wellbeing – changing behaviour patterns requires stepping out of comfort zone and can triggers self doubt and vulnerability. Not altogether easy.

Got to be done though…for growth and for personal empowerment…recognising and honouring your own feelings and presenting them openly in an uncompromising, un-squashed way whilst being open to those being perhaps challenged or perceived differently by another…

That is entirely up to them…is their responsibility…and reflective and telling’ of their behaviour patterns and perceptions…rather than a reflection on ‘you’

So… ask yourself ‘What is my truth?’ and in position of strength and openness – fearlessly present your feelings… how others then treat you is ‘their’ path and choice…how you then respond… is yours.
