72. Permission Granted: Creating Honest Relationships
To create real and authentic conversations, we have to be willing to be honest. Most of us weren't taught how to do this. We were taught how to live in our patterns of people pleasing, approval seeking, perfectionism and "work harder" modes. Often these patterns are like we are wearing a mask, blocking us from our true and honest selves.
Lately, I have been thinking about radical honesty. It's not always easy to live a life that feels true. It's not always easy to speak our truth. It can feel difficult to take off the mask that we have used for so long to keep us safe. However the alternative is living a life that doesn't reflect what God has called us toward and who He has called us to BE.
The more we are willing to explore what stands in our way of honesty, we more we can start to work toward taking off the mask and allowing ourselves to be seen for who we are. I think that is the greatest freedom in the world-Freedom to be honest, freedom to live in a way and speak in a way that represents who we were created to be.
Listen to today's episode and give yourself permission to try the mindful practice so that you can start showing up honestly in your most important relationships.
