The key difference between effectively supporting someone you love vs. enabling them is independence vs. dependence.

Your actions become supportive and productive when it helps them learn how to solve their own problems and as a result theybecome more independent. You become an enabler when your actions teach the person that is asking for help to become more dependent on you to solve their problems.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

This week, when interacting with those you care about, be particularly conscious of whether your actions are teaching dependence or empowering independence. If you notice some actions that are fostering more dependence, look at ways you can reframe your interactions moving forward to empower them to find their own answers. As always, remember that inquiry like this is for awareness, not self-criticism. Use it as the learning experience it is and celebrate your awareness and the opportunity to choose differently moving forward.   - Namaste, Michelle

Who is in your driver seat? Judgment or Curiosity?

    

There were many beautiful awarenesses that came through attending a workshop this weekend with Thomas Huebl. He is a skilled teacher with so much wisdom to share. But interestingly, one of the most powerful learnings came through an unexpected avenue.

 

You see, when I signed up for the workshop, I hadn't fully understood that the workshop was going to be co-facilitated between Thomas and another teacher who had a completely different teaching style than Thomas. Each time Thomas would teach, I would drop into deep awareness, writing furiously and excitedly. Yet, when the stage was turned over to the other teacher, I could feel a good deal of frustration, irritation and resistance. This was NOT what I had signed up for! I found myself judging the teacher, judging Thomas for partnering with the other teacher, and judging the organization who coordinated the workshops for charging me all this money for something I felt was wasting my time.

 

So, later that evening, seeing my fear-based responses, I consciously took the time to reflect on what was clearly a reaction of my Ego.
