Holiday Handbook - Outgrowing those you love
LISTEN NOW
Happy Thursday, Worthiness Warriors! Happy Thursday, and Happy Thanksgiving! I’m so grateful that I get to be a part of your day, I’m sending you all of the Thanksgiving gratitude and gratefulness. Please take that in and receive it, because I could never do what I do without you!
This week we’re going to talk about strategies for having positive conversations with family members who hold different beliefs and opinions, particularly around the holiday season. It’s important to avoid shaming or trying to fact-prove, but instead, lead with curiosity and seek to understand the other person's perspective and experiences. I suggest going in with the intention of understanding, not changing others’ minds, watching their judgments, and recognizing the complexity of issues.
By setting a compassionate environment and asking if it's a good time to talk, having self-compassion, living in the 'gray' nuance of issues, and asking open questions to learn more like 'What has your experience been?' Please protect your own peace while bridging divides.
