Respect!

This week is all about respect! Respecting yourself first and foremost! Respecting, loving & honouring yourself enough to respect other people and their opinions especially if they differ far from what you deem as right/wrong/good or bad.

The last few weeks have been about creating our own personal boundaries by balancing our “doing” with resting & self-care (self-love, self-respect, self-acceptance, self-compassion…)

Last week was about bringing attention & awareness to the negative inner critic (we all have one) and embracing that part of ourselves.

This week we bring awareness to whether we are able to;

1. Effectively communicate our needs.
2. Effectively communicate what our desired expectations are.
3. LET GO of the outcome and accept plus respect the other persons answer to our needs and expectations.
4. Work on ourselves enough (self-love, self-respect, self-acceptance, self-compassion…) to handle whatever answer we get – particularly when it’s a “NO”

When and if we love & respect ourselves – we can and will respect others. This profound practice of self-care and letting go will open many doors to peace and ultimately less suffering as any of the following can unfold;

• Negotiations! If what you are needing and expecting aren’t deal breakers for you or the other person. Incredible conversation and negotiations can unfold! True listening, true connection & true honouring of each others points of views, opinions, needs and expectations can be negotiated! This is a win-win. (Self-love required for this!) 
• Move on! They may not be your “people”. If both sides come to a crossroads where neither are willing to budge because it is a deal-breaker for both – then as hard as it may be – end the suffering! Move on. (Self-love required for this!) 
• Agree to disagree! Stand in your truth & let them stand in theirs! Mutual respect! (Self-love required for this!) 
• Learn a TON about yourself! (Self-love required for this!) 

Do we see a theme here?

SELF-LOVE

These next 2 weeks (no Tap In next week – long weekend) are all about;

1. Respecting yourself and others.
2. Letting go!!!

Communicate your needs, wishes, desired & preferred expectations and outcomes and then practice letting go!!! The other person (or persons) has/have every right to say NO! Just like you do – if they have expectations you don’t like or agree with.

Respect them and respect yourself!

When you practice true self-care (self-love, self-respect, self-acceptance, self-compassion…) you can stand in and express your truth and honour as others do the same. When this happens you will find that you don’t have anything to prove, defend or explain. It just is.

This is a powerful place of freedom to be in.

Have a fabulous couple of week’s my friends! Embrace this week’s challenge of letting go!!!
