Share Your Love and Reap the Power it Offers

I love that we designate a whole day on sharing our love. I feel it is worthwhile to focus on how to do this all month long and learn to make it a habit, especially when life gets difficult.

Love comes in many shapes, sizes, and presents itself in several different ways. I believe we have the choice to focus on fear or love regarding our mindset and internal dialogue. This has a big impact on how we behave, and the presence we have in all our interactions.

What if we created the habit of being a loving person, no matter what? Love is a healing balm that we can access anytime, even when we are feeling guilty or feeling like we messed up.

Consider:
How can you begin to cut yourself some slack?
What can you put your attention on to focus on loving thoughts of yourself and/or others?

I see clients constantly making assumptions about others or trying to guess what people are feeling and thinking. This is a waste of mental energy. Take a direct path by asking the person you are making the story up with, how they really feel. Take the time to have an honest, thoughtful conversation to gain clarity on their experience of any given situation. This is a demonstration of loving presence as well as an act of loving yourself. By honoring what you need and having the conversation, you are acting on what is right for you, which also supports the other person and builds more trust in the relationship. It takes being courageous in how we love because sometimes these conversations are confusing on how to approach and navigate them.

This all starts with how we are communicating to ourselves with our own thoughts, stories, and actions in how we love ourselves. Love comes from the inside out. The more we cultivate love inside of us and how we care for ourselves, the more we have to give for others.

Recently I had a client come to a coaching session regarding needing to have a difficult conversation with one of her team members. My client was caught up in how this team member would react without even really knowing. I asked my client how she wanted to show up for this conversation, and she said open, grounded, giving acknowledgment of the team member’s contribution, and being clear on the reality of the organizational constraints. Then I asked my client how she would prepare to show up in this way. She realized that she needed to make time to take care of herself, which included scheduling additional time to prepare, as well as putting her attention on how she wants to show up instead of making assumptions regarding the team member’s response. As we coached through this scenario, she realized that she hadn’t been taking care of herself, which also impacts her presence with her team.

Our presence has power; when we stay attuned from the inside out of how we want to BE to demonstrate a loving presence, it has a big impact on how our communication is received.

Take time this month to create the habit of loving and tending to yourself so all your interactions can offer more of a positive experience, even in the midst of challenges. This supports you in building resilience.
