Step 4 in our series called New Year, New View, New Perspective, is a simple, but important one: “Assume You are an Active Participant in What’s Going on.”
Regardless of how you see it, the reality is that you have been invited to the ball, and both of you are “dancing” here. Any issues you face may look as though they are all “him,” but they aren’t. Be clear on your part in getting out of rhythm and discover what you can do to shift it if you aren’t comfortable with the tempo anymore.
Let that sit for a while. Next week we’ll cover the final step in gaining a New View & New Perspective: Watch Your Words.
I look forward to it!
Love,
Luann

It’s easy to fall into victim thinking and it becomes a comfortable rhythmn.

That is very true! Thank you for commenting!

Yes, the victim theme can get triggered easily! We have to be aware!

I’ll never forget how foreign I thought this concept was with my first husband… he was the druggy guy running around abusing his body… what on earth could my part in it all be? Well, once I was gone I realized sticking around was my part. HA! It can be so very subtle, but we do play a part!

Thank you for sharing a part of your journey Lisa. We all must go through our journey and work to be aware to realize our part.

Yes, it is so difficult to see that our being there might actually cause the enabling of the very behavior we are wanting to avoid! Good work! xo

You meant everyone except me, right? Everyone plays a part, except for me. I am always innocent. HAHA. I’m just kidding. Great blog as always… xo

Beautiful way to express a common issue. We all want to be right, but it takes two to tango, as they say.

It is so true Elise! Thank you for your input!
