Honesty

Sometimes we are too diplomatic and skirt around the subject. We feel that we are stepping on somebody's toes and so we often just say nothing.

I had a client this week who was not being honest with herself, she was upset with someone and just ignored acknowledging it and it was eating her alive! I mean the energy she used in just revisiting the subject showed me she was upset and cared about the consequences. She just didn't communicate this to anybody else! What a waste. If you are upset over something and it doesn't sit right with you. Do something about it.

You can call them, email or what she did, sms her message and then LET GO of the issue once and for all. This feels good and liberating as you are no longer holding onto the emotion, your energy has changed.

Honesty is sometimes like a double edged sword, we want to be true to our emotions and yet struggle to get the right words out, and often times just blur it out inappropriately, quickly cover up and on damage control. Not the best way of handling it. So next time you find yourself in conflict of being honest, think about how you would like to hear it, and take that step forward and deal with it right there and then.
