Practice: The Stop and Share

I received a nugget of wisdom from my dear friend Ashli Callaway (spiritual counselor) in a conversation we had recently that was so powerful and simple that I thought everyone should hear it: She said to me that over the years we have collectively done a disservice to our relationships when we were not true to ourselves and weren’t honest in the moment when something hurt us. She said that she works with her child on sharing her feelings in the moment they happen because she wants her child to feel empowered while sharing how she feels.

The next time someone says something hurtful to you (even if they didn’t realize it was hurtful), be still; hold the space in the moment; and simply, kindly, and honestly say: “That really hurt my feelings” or “It embarrassed me when you said this to me in front of other people.” It gathers the energy, honors it, disposes of it, and creates a wholly different dynamic within our relationships. If we immediately stop and share our feelings, it can prevent the days of festering and obsessing on how something affected us. The way my friend presented it was soft, kind, and I believe it holds the power to shut down any fighting tendencies. It would be very difficult to yell back at someone who simply, softly, and kindly said, “You hurt me.” What more is there to say to that other than “I’m sorry”? Our strength is in our honesty. It will only create stronger foundations within our relationships.

Partner relationships

Who we choose as love partners is a direct reflection on what we feel we deserve. We are capable of experiencing the level of happiness and love to the same level that we can experience the depths of darkness and pain. That emotional energy can move just as deeply in both directions depending on what we allow in our bodies and in our lives, so choose wisely. Going through a breakup is something that can be devastating and last for a really long time. The truth is, I hope that at some point in your life you’ve had your heart broken. Why? Because I think when it comes to love relationships, those experiences are necessary in order for your soul to grow. To put it another way, those heartbreakers from the past were actually big openers into who you are becoming and what you are no longer willing to accept. They were (or are still) a chance for you to grow beyond what makes you feel anything less than loved and accepted exactly as you are. Lord knows I didn’t always make good choices before I met my life partner, nor was I always a partner who exhibited behavior I could be proud of. Like most things in life, there was never a strictly one-sided fault unlike what we usually describe. I am grateful for most of the experiences, but I’d be lying if I said I was grateful for all
