Honouring Each Other's Difference
As we all start creating new boundaries, we must learn to honour differences and recognize when we simply can't see things from another's vantage point
Let go of the story that there is something wrong with each other, and recognize that you maybe just be in different stages of life or on different frequencies
People might not be ready for your level of light - it might disrupt where they are in their process
Approaching these situations with this type of respect allows space for the relationship to come back at a different time when things are more aligned
I feel like I've spent most of my life trying so hard to always make things line up with others. Whether I changed myself or tried (always in vain) to change the other person, the misalignment felt like a problem I had to solve.
And when I open up to this other way of viewing the situation - simply a matter of difference without there being a fault or a necessity for change - I feel such a huge sense of relief. Like a massive task that I had unknowingly taken on can suddenly be put down.
Allowing and accepting others as they are, and doing the same for ourselves, can lead us to such beautiful relationships founded on mutual respect and consideration.
Everyone is where they need to be.
Anger As A Boundary & Messenger
If there is friction happening in your relationships, anger might come up as a response to a boundary cross
This might be a signal that some part of your body wants to say no, even if your mind is not ready
Remember that you don't need to do anything with the fire of anger, you can allow it to be a signal that you might need to do something different
On the other side of anger can be a heart opening or re-birth
Anger is not an easy emotion for many of us to hold - it can come with a lot of guilt and fear of being harmful.
If other's anger was hurtful to us we might struggle to see it as a positive experience. But reframing it as giving us important information can help us to see it in a whole new life.
A helpful question to begin with when feeling anger is: "What is this anger telling me about this relationship or situation?" Allow yourself to be open to the answers that come up, and let the emotion move through you as you learn from it.
If you can hold this emotion openly without blame, it can lead to transformational conversations that can deepen your relationships, so it is well worth the effort to learn to navigate anger!
