A Reframe For When Others Let Us Down…
A common life experience we all share is feeling disappointed by another or feeling let down. What if we took a moment to reframe that? To bring ourselves some peace and healing?
A reframe for these moments in life is instead that you took the person as far as they were ready.
No, not as far as you were ready for them but as far as they were ready.
Doesn’t that feel lighter?
When we acknowledge where others are at in their journey(including ourselves) we have way more access to choice in our relationships. The most common way I hear this come up for people is in romantic relationships when one person is growing at a faster rate than another.
But isn’t my partner supposed to keep up with me? Not necessarily. As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink. You’ve done your job by helping that person to know they have water to drink and from there the rest is up to them.
Speaking of choices and being ready, In the sacred Empower Thyself Initiation workshop I teach, we cover just this. This two day training brings more choice than ever before because it gives us choice over our negative ego...that crazy thing that holds us all back in our lives. If you’re ready for ancient tools for self mastery, reach out and let’s have a chat.
But ultimately, for today, let’s remember it’s not about what we want for other people, it’s about taking them as far as they’re ready.
Sending lots of love.
