The Quality Of Our Relationships Determines The Quality Of Our Lives.
Have you noticed repeated patterns or triggers in your relationships?
They usually show up with the people that we’re closest to.
They can often last a lifetime if we’re unaware of them - and do a lot of unnecessary damage.
When I’m being judgemental of my husband and other family members, it creates a ripple effect that doesn’t serve our relationships.
They become defensive, and an argument is sure to follow.
They feel nervous around me, which creates an energetic barrier that creates distance.
And I wondered why I felt lonely in a lot of my relationships!
Now, after years of this unsavory behavior, I can notice when my inner judge arises (typically ignited by fear), and when I am aware of it, I can choose differently.
I feel the judge arise inside of me and want to react, but thanks to the power of observation, I can internally name it to tame it- that’s the name of the game!
My wise observer can call out my inner judge when she shows up:
“Oh, hi ‘Judge Judy’ - Why don’t you take a seat and breathe deeper and try reflecting on what you love about this person.”
And if it’s something I need to address, I wait for a better time to talk to them about it when I’m not charged with judgment and can come to a softer place of concern or curiosity.
We all have patterns that probably didn’t start with us, but once we shine the light of awareness on them, we can shift and change them. The buck stops here!
We can’t change anybody else. All we can do is change ourselves, which changes the whole dynamic.
This is one of the most impactful aspects of our 200-hour teacher training, shining the light of awareness with a non-judgmental mind on our triggers and patterns so we can choose differently and shift them.
The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.
Relationships with ourselves and those around us improve when we shine the light of non-judgmental awareness on them.
And that’s all we have to do because when we illuminate our patterns, the way we relate to them shifts!
We are no longer being controlled by them, but take hold of the reigns and control these (often generational) patterns.
Learn how to do this in the upcoming 200-hour yoga teacher training.
You’ll get in awesome physical shape and emotional and spiritual shape as well!
