Something I see all too often is people giving others their opinion on your situation.
There is this skill that we are not usually taught. Asking others – ‘what do you want?’.
We spend a lot of time reacting rather than creating. Fun fact is both reacting and creating have the same letters. You choose what works best for you!
What do I mean by reacting? Rather than pausing to take a moment to reflect, we jump into response mode.
We react to another’s reactions, and it keeps going on and on!
Rarely do we pause the conversation to allow someone to get into a place of creation. Rather than asking them what they want, we tell them what worked for us.
Truthfully, this is not helpful! When we do this, we’re make it about our needs and not about their needs.
How often do you take the time to ask yourself ‘what do I want’? Do you grant yourself the space to get into creation mode?
Getting clear on knowing what you want is the first step in moving forward.
This week focus on asking yourself ‘what do I want?’ so you can shift yourself into creation mode. Also pause from giving advice to someone and ask them ‘what do you want?’.
