Family relationships can challenge us to the core.
They trigger us often to act in ways we do not want to act. Think of a family member that triggers something unpleasant in you. Notice how you protect yourself by your typical reaction.
This weekend, ask of yourself to open when typically you might close off or protect yourself. Stay open to your experience of that person even if it is uncomfortable. Choose to feel that feeling and release it as opposed to react around it. With this mindset, it gives you more options in how to relate to that particular family member.
Yes, as you look at that relationship and reframe it from a negative one to one that can allow you to grow, you can even embrace that family member!
Here’s to getting the love you want!
