Episode 38: Powerful Finger Pointing
Ever heard the phrase “When you are pointing a finger at another, there are three fingers pointing back at you”? I heard it three times this week which inspired today’s episode on one of the most powerful lessons I have ever learned in my change-making efforts. Today, we claim what we are projecting or seeing in the world so we can truly be free and stand in our power to be the change. This is big work my friend, and I know you’ve got this.
What’s in it for you:
A poetic reminder that what we want for our world won’t exist if we don’t have it within
A picture of what spiritual support looks like and why it’s so important for this brave work
How to take responsibility in an empowering way so you can step forward freely
A phrase that may help you let go of the hard-to-let-go things
Some big questions to shift from powerlessness to standing in your power
Tools for Change:
Ever stuck in the cycle of blaming or desperately wanting something or someone to be different? It’s a painful place to be and totally powerless. When you find yourself struggling with what you’re experiencing, here are a few powerful questions to ask yourself:
What is it in the situation/person that I want to be different? What is it that I am needing from that person or this situation?
How am I showing up in this situation?
How can I give myself what I need or ask for what I need?
Poem:
Chinese Proverb
When there is light in the soul there will be beauty in the person.
When there is Beauty in the person there will be Harmony in the house
When there is Harmony in the house there will be order in the nation and
When there is order in the nation there will be peace in this world
