What Part Of Me Do I Want To Have Show Up?
Yesterday’s challenge focused on being in the pause, and taking advantage of the pause so that you can respond to life’s situations and events rather than react to them. Today, we are going to expand upon that concept.
In many situations, you may not know how to respond, and if you can stop and ask yourself the following question, it may lead you to the response. When you are having one of those moments, you can stop and ask yourself: “What part of me do I want to have show up regarding this situation?
For example: a situation arises where you would normally react by judging the person or situation that you are facing. Today, you would recognize the habitual reaction, and stop and ask yourself the above question. One of the answers that you could come up with could be that you want the “accepting” part of you to show up. From that moment, from your most recent decision, this could point you towards your action, your response. Another example could be where a situation arises where you normally would let someone talk down to you, or emotionally abuse you. Once you stop and ask, “what part of me would I like to have show up,” the answer could be, “I want to see the courageous part of me show up.” This could easily point your towards your action, your response.
