🌟 Returning to My Roots: The Healing You Method 🌿

Recently, I had the opportunity to attend a conference, which has always been a source of inspiration and community for me. The energy there is so warm and welcoming, and it feels like a big family reunion every time. The people are diverse, fun, and deeply connected, making each experience truly enriching.

One memorable moment from the conference was sparked by a speaker who mentioned the concept of “sandpaper” in relationships. It was a lighthearted metaphor, yet so true. We all chuckled, recognizing how certain interactions can feel abrasive, depending on the situation. This idea of ‘sandpaper’ stuck with me, especially as I encountered a situation that challenged my usual patterns of behavior.

During the conference, I found myself in a scenario that triggered an old survival pattern—a pattern where I avoid conflict at all costs. It happened when I was saving seats for my team in the front row, only to have someone else claim the seat I had reserved. The noise, the crowd, and the confrontation all hit a nerve, pushing me into a familiar pattern of trying to make others happy and avoiding conflict.

However, this time was different. Instead of letting the situation escalate or allowing it to fester, I chose to approach it with grace. I recognized the pattern within myself and, rather than trying to power over the situation or withdraw, I engaged with the person in a way that was authentic to me. We ended up sitting together for the rest of the conference, and what could have been a tense interaction turned into a moment of bonding.

This experience reminded me of the importance of staying true to who I am, even in challenging moments. It’s not about changing who I am but rather freeing myself to be myself—unconstrained by the expectations of others or the patterns I’ve learned to survive. This is the essence of the Healing You Method: recognizing our patterns, owning our experiences, and stepping into our true selves with grace and authenticity.

As I reflect on this experience, I’m inspired to reach out to that individual and have an honest conversation about how the situation unfolded for both of us. This is part of my commitment to deepening relationships, staying aligned with my true self, and fostering genuine connections.

I hope this story resonates with you and encourages you to explore your own patterns and how you can move through them with grace. We all have moments where our past imprints surface, but with awareness and intention, we can transform those moments into opportunities for growth and connection.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. I look forward to sharing more insights and stories in our next conversation. Until then, stay true to yourself and embrace the possibilities that each new day brings.
