The changes we make in our lives are often noticeable to our friends. This is often a good thing because appreciate our progress, encourage us to continue, and can be inspired by our effort and action.
But our success can also shine a light on our loved ones’ lack of progress leaving them feeling bad as a result. In wanting to save their feelings we may become hesitant about taking action.
Today we are going to tap for the fear of how others will judge themselves based on our progress.
My Less Driven Friends Will Feel Like I Am Leaving Them Behind If I Am Trying For Something Better
(audio 5m06s)
I know my life is changing…I know I’m trying new and different things…And as I do this my life looks different…And the way it looks right now…Might not be the way it looks when all of this is done…But because I am changing…Because I am acting differently…It is easy to notice the difference…Because it shows up in contrast to what I once was…And the people in my life…Are used to what I once was…And the people in my life…Still think of me in that way…And they notice I’m changing…And they notice I’m moving forward…And in conscious and subconscious ways…This is creating contrast…Between the change I am making…And the change they’re not making…And because of the discomfort that that can create…They might feel like I am judging them…Or they can start judging themselves harshly…Because the contrast is becoming obvious…I’m not who I once was…And they can see that…And there are times when we don’t want to move forward…Because we don’t want this contrast to show out…We don’t want this to be seen…Because it can be uncomfortable…And it’s possible we might hold ourselves back…Because we’re not taking action…Because we don’t want them to feel uncomfortable…But the truth is…Change is a constant…Change is always happening…Change is inevitable…And even if I weren’t changing…My life would be changing…Their lives would be changing…The contrast just isn’t as obvious…Even though the contrast of my change…Might create discomfort for others…I know I need to move forward…And their discomfort is their responsibility…Because they need to take responsibility for their lives…And I am going to take responsibility for mine.
