Before I started working with Maia, I had such a toxic internal dialogue going on when it came to certain family members. Whenever there was going to be a family gathering, I would literally feel sick in my gut and in turmoil emotionally. It would take so much out of me that I would be exhausted. Typically, things would turn out just fine, but there was so much history that I had not learned to deal with and I would experience such greif, shame, and anger for things in my family's past, I couldn't see anything positive about having to get together with these people! In fact, it would take several days after such a gathering for me to "pull myself back together again" because it was so draining.
Since starting my life coaching with Maia and You U, I have learned how to process these negative emotions using Love Letters and the Find the Gift tool. I now take responsibility for my feelings and internal dialogue. Instead of dreading seeing these family members, I can now look forward to visiting with them, opening myself up to learning more about who they are and what makes them tick. It's actually very freeing because I know I have the choice to do this. I could simply avoid them, but what I really want is to develop relations with them coming from my new perspective.
Needless to say, it is with a "new set of eyes" that I met up with some of these family members last night. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them. The things that seemed to be so problematic for me before just were not an issue. I am so grateful for learning what I have and applying the 3 Magic Secrets in my life. I just love this journey through You U and all that is happening for me because of it!
