Bulletproof Truth

Howdy partner, how you doing? (time to breathe in deep) 

Time to really check in- how are you?  (what are you experiencing currently?) 
How was your weekend, what can you be grateful for?
what did you learn? who did you connect with?
how did you practice self-care/self-love?
SO many questions..... they are good ones though :) 

Lean in homie, like real close because I've got something so super raw- you are going to want to really hear me..... 
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
For the last 12 months: Ive been on a serious journey of raw transparency, bold honesty, hearty courage and deep integrity. Ive been choosing to have the hard conversations, to stare deeply at the parts of myself i am not proud of, to be vulnerable and messy and to take a firm stand for myself and the things that matter the most. Ive chosen to take ownership of my story. Ive been getting super uncomfortable, keeping myself accountable and have let go of day to day "to-do's" in order to allow myself the space to go deep with it all. Its been tough, and draining- and I'm still moving through it all- gratefully and with compassion.    

Why'd i tell you all that? huh? because i could never ask you to do anything that i haven't been courageous enough to do myself. My commitment to you, is whole heart honesty. I have wounds, scars, fears- all which make me unique and human. I know you have yours too..... Time to rock out with some gold... 
The things i now know for absolute sure.... The bulletproof facts...
How you experience others, is mostly is a lesson about how others experience you. The people who come into our lives are a mirror reflection of how we show up, if you are consistently attracting the same energy, the same vibe, the same personalities then perhaps you've got work to do on accepting/ acknowledging and loving on those parts of yourself. 

Who are you not to give others feedback for their growth? When i worked for an athletic apparel company i heard this from one of my mentors and have kept it in my mind at all times...  "it is selfish not to give someone feedback- how dare you take away someones opportunity to grow?" BOOM SHAKALAKA hit the spot! How we deliver feedback must always come from a place of love, and with the intention for growth never to hurt or diminish confidence. I will often tell someone how much i learn from them, how much i appreciate them and then offer them the opportunity for a 'stretch' to see if they are open- CATCH 22 not everyone is open for feedback at all times, so feel out the vibe before fast approaching.

If you are not saying how you really feel, what you are saying is not the truth. Sometimes we feel the need to keep somethings to ourselves and thats cool, but really come-on... if you aren't cool- say it- that still doesn't mean you need to spill the jelly bean jar completely it just means you are at integrity with your feelings by simply saying "you know what? I'm feeling my way through some stuff at the moment, ill be sure to reach out should i need some homie loving". Thats it, you haven't been rude or said anything but the truth, and your buddy knows why your vibe is a little different. Vulnerability allows the space for respect, connection, leadership and extra love. 
This week i encourage you to have that conversation, deliver that feedback, love on someone while allowing them the space to be where they are. 

Sending awesomeness your way,
Have a wonderful week
