It’s Wednesday, . It’s the middle of the week and the work day is nearing the end or perhaps, has already ended.
I hope you had a good day and are now taking time to relax.
Part of my day was spent deciding whether I would “play it safe” or “take a huge risk” in love and in life. And frankly, I could see no good reason for changing what I was doing and did not want to discuss it.
However, in reality, I’ve been scared. And the story I told myself was that, “I can do this thing later, and I will talk about it later!” That answer satisfied me for a while. But then . . . I needed to talk about what I was feeling because I was uncomfortable and unclear.
Staying with the story to change something “later,” or “talk about it later,” is a great way to play it safe–not rock the boat and remain quietly confused.
I admit, it was hard to let go of my story and risk sharing my feelings about it openly. But I dialogued with my partner, and in the middle of it, something inside me shifted.
By the end of the dialogue, we had both shifted. I decided to take the risk, which is why you are getting this email.
Oh . . . you’ve already talked about it and nothing has changed.
Oh . . . but you know “playing it safe” isn’t working, and you need a different way to discuss it.
Well, in case you missed it, let me help take some of the STRESS out of it and lay out a platform for you to communicate in a different way in my new free video series “Talk Listen Connect.”
