[Tools] The Whole Truth Series 2 of 4 – Hearing Truth


Can I Tell You an Ugly Truth?

Can someone you DON’T like, tell you something you don’t want to hear?

Can you HEAR the Truth?

You could be thinking, “Tanya, I can hear truth from people I TRUST…” Ha! Actually, that’s usually HARDER! 

Last Week’s Post – Can You SEE The Truth? 


Truth from Enemies & Adversaries

“She said what?!? I’m not surprised, that crazy trollop hates me!”

Ok, maybe not your precise wording but something to that effect. You discount truths you hear from people who you don’t like or you believe do not like you.

They must be up to something. Sabotage is afoot. Malice is in play. You go for a long swim in denial, which isn’t just a river in Egypt! 

Because you have already discredited the source of the information, you discredit what they share too. 

Here’s a famous quote that’s endured for 2,400+ years for a reason:

There are only two people can tell you the truth about yourself – an enemy who has lost his temper and a friend who loves you dearly. -Antisthenes 360 B.C.

Hearing the truth is about the TRUTH and not about the source. You NEED that information so you can course correct what isn’t working in your life. 


Truth from Family & Besties

What am I hiding from hearing?

It is harder to hear difficult truths from those you love because difficult truths HURT. We transfer the pain of the truth to the messenger. (Remember the old phrase? “Don’t shoot the messenger!” It also feels Greco-Roman and at least 2 millenea old).

We do not expect those we love to walk up and GIVE us pain, thus we resist, resent, regret and reject sticky truths from those we love.

Catch 22? You think you reject enemies and allow truth of friends and it tends to be reversed. You will DWELL on what your adversary says and rationalize away what your sister mentions.

What is your pattern?

How are you at hearing the truth? Can you take it straight up or do you need spoon fulls of sugar before and after it arrives? Do those who come to help you have to 1) tell you the truth 2) calm you down and then 3) heal the cuts you gave them by themselves?

If so, you are broadcasting that you “Can’t handle the truth” and don’t want it. Please be sure if you do this, you will attract lies, passive-aggressiveness and other F-ery.

My favorite 2 coaching words. STOP IT.

Source will show you truth and you need to let it IN.

In Joy,

 

P.S  One of the biggest challenges of having healthy relationships is learning how to LISTEN while someone you love tells you that you’ve missed the mark!

While they are talking instead of preparing your rebuttal, ask yourself “If they are right, what will I gain by fixing this?” It will help you drop the automatic defensive.

[Relationships] Truth Series 1 of 4


Truth is Your New BESTIE

We are doing TRUTH!! Come on in. Why Truth? Umm, your ability to change is tied to your ability to SEE The Truth, HEAR the Truth, TELL the Truth and ACT on the Truth. If your life isn’t already perfect, you need things to change.

And, as a bonus, those are 4 of the components of the the Happily Ever After  H.E.A. or Healthy Evolved Alpha H.E.A. Questions to help you find your mate. If enough of you ask me, I’ll share them for the first time.

Last Week’s Post – How to “DO” Valentine’s Day for ANY Relationship Situation


Awareness Really is 80% of Everything

We’ll keep this simple.

What you don’t see you won’t fix.

What you don’t see you won’t take responsibility for.

What you don’t see you won’t believe.

What you don’t see you won’t change.

What you don’t see is NOT REAL.

Look at the government of your country (and no, it doesn’t matter where you live, it’s the same!). The Government tends to not SEE whatever they don’t want to deal with. 

Don’t be like the Government.

Alphas hate uncertainty and LOVE control.

The path to receiving the your next steps start with seeing 3 big truths.

  1. See where you are.
  2. See where you want to be.
  3. See why the hell you aren’t there already. (What you aren’t doing, being or seeing – this is on YOU)

See why the hell you aren’t there already. (What you aren’t doing, being or seeing – this is on YOU)


Simple, Single Question Time

What am I avoiding seeing?

The cobwebs over the door? Your partner turning away from sex? Your child withdrawing? Your savings account shrinking? Check engine light on your car? Your dream getting farther away?

What truth are you looking away on.

Easiest Advice You Won’t Like:

Take Action TONIGHT. Do SOMETHING on SOMETHING.

I’m in Australia now and I spent a whole Saturday cleaning windows and cobwebs. The dirt that you train yourself to “stop seeing”. I let myself see it and took action. The energy of our home is amazing now JUST from that little step toward truth.

The truth was my new home was dirty. The truth is I take full responsibility for making this house a home. I will SEE all the things I don’t want to see to make that happen. Know what? My seeing this truth is catchy. My mate is seeing it now and happily taking action too!

In Joy,

 

P.S  I did such a good job cleaning the giant picture windows that so far tally of things running into our window or sliding glass door is 2 birds and one grown man. Thankfully, none of these 3 were injured!

Secret to no streaks? Vinegar and water rinse with a cotton shirt to dry 🙂

[Relationships] How to “DO” Valentine’s Day for ANY Relationship Situation


How to “Do” Valentines Day for ANY Relationship Status!

Valentine’s Day actually is a tricky holiday. So I’m going to help you with a little cheat sheet of how to do Valentine’s Day regardless of what’s going on in your love life right now.

We first start with WHO we focus on for Valentine’s Day. There are three options. You, Him or Both of You.

Catch up last month’s coaching on Empathy: WHAT Empathy isWHY You Want It (deep, bonded love) and 7 Foolproof Steps to Doing itfor Others, and the Key to GETTING More Support.


You Are Going to Make YOU Happy This Valentine’s Day

You can focus on yourself, on yourself AND your mate or on your mate.

Who you focus on depends on where you are in your relationship.

If you’re single or married and unhappy, your focus is going to be on your self. You are going to make YOU happy this Valentine’s Day and you are not going to be looking around for someone else to do it for you.

Please remember that this is spiritual law. We can only receive what we have FIRST given to ourselves. So give it!

The newer the relationship, the more important is that you are focusing on YOU to fill yourself up, so you are not looking for a cornucopia from this other person who just arrived in your life.

In an established dating relationship, it is more of an equal blend. Do for both of you.

If you are married or mated & happy­, your focus is your mate. Let me repeat that. Your focus is your mate.

You don’t have to worry about shoring yourself up because, in a happy relationship, you’re already doing a good enough job loving yourself. That frees you from looking for a Valentine’s Day “windfall” from your mate.


Secret Advantage for Singles/Unhappily Marrieds

For the singles and the unhappily married’s, focus on YOU means find something to do FOR yourself or give to yourself. And I deeply recommend that that thing you give to yourself be an emotional, rather than a physical gift.

Time doing something YOU like is tops of the scale here.

Netflix movie bender of your favorite movies + your favorite meal all ending in a bath (using that bath oil that you never use because it was an expensive gift). Perfect!

The secret to giving yourself an emotional gift for Valentine’s Day is in feeling that your actions are NOT a substitute for someone else’s missing love. You are not the, “darn, this is what I’ll get instead…”

You are in fact, practicing identifying what you most love and receiving what you most love.

These are skills that need to be well honed for you to get into a happily mated relationship anyway. 🙂

If you’re in a dating relationship, most people will caution you not to do too much for your mate. If you have to toe the “not too much so I don’t scare you” line super carefully, you may want to consider truthfully how that relationship is going. (Next month is all about truth!)

Just be sure you are not giving to exert control and “demand” more from them than they have ALREADY been giving to you emotionally. 

Happy? The ONE Thing You MUST Show Your Mate

And now my new favorite (because this is my first Valentine’s Day as a happily mated pair!) – the happily mated & married folks.

Your focus is your mate. Your job is to convey this belief on Valentine’s Day:

I’d pick you again just as you are…

Tell them that and SHOW them that.

Challenge yourself to first figure out how to communicate it without spending money. Whatever you come up with without spending money, is likely to be a better messenger than that new Blu-ray DVD player or dinner.

Do not let the fact that Valentine’s Day is over commercialized bother you. This is a good moment to stop and reflect on where YOU are and set your life up to continue going in the direction you wanted to go OR course correct it.

In Joy,

 

P.S  I’m still moving! Goodness it’s wonderful to shed these many years and layers of “stuff.” I’m mentally tired from all the decisions but in the HOME stretch. On Thursday I’ll begin the 30-hour trip to Australia!

My friends have been EXCELLENT in their empathy on the stresses of moving trans-globally. Thank you Alphas! My clients have also supported me well. Thank you too. 🙂

[Relationships] The Key to GETTING More Support! Empathy Series 4 of 4


How to Get MORE Support

Now you know WHAT empathy isWHY you want it (deep, bonded love) and 7 Foolproof Steps to doing it for others.

Well, what about YOU?

All you need to do to get better empathy from other people is to ask.


Your Friends, Family and Mate Will Give You MORE Support if You Make it Easier for Them to Do So

Ok, I over simplified. It is asking + making it IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO FAIL.

“What?! Why am I worrying about them? What About ME? I’m the one in need the freakin’ Support…” you grumble.

Yes, yes. But one reason people are scared to support you is because they’re scared of being made wrong. To get YOUR empathy, show THEM empathy on their fears of rejection, by giving them instructions.

You have to HELP them support you in the way you need to be supported, so you get what you need. Then they get to feel like a hero because they did it “right”.

What we do “right” we do MORE OF.

My solution for this is called Boy Support and Girl Support. YOU need to tell people whether you need Boy Support or Girl Support.

Girl Support: You let me vent, listen to me and reassure me that things will be OK (it’s EMOTIONAL -> heart). It is NOT solution oriented or offering solutions. It is STEPS 1-5 of the 7 Foolproof Steps.

Boy Support: Hey, let’s brainstorm, analyze what happened, see what went wrong and course correct! It involves feedback and solutions (it’s MENTAL -> head). It is STEP 6 & 7 of the 7 Foolproof Steps.

Alphas (you know I love you and AM you) but you almost always want to give Boy Support.


You Get More Empathy By Training Them What to Give You

I literally trained my friends, to listen for whether I ask for Boy Support or Girl Support. If I forget to ask, they are to ask ME, do I need boy or girl support right now?

We will often interrupt the other if we’ve inadvertently started down the “wrong” road. It’s easy and kinder to say, “a bit more Boy Support please”, instead of explaining that you’ll feel better with a solution in hand!

Once you get this understanding in place, you’ll find it FAR easier to prevent empathy fails (hmm, thanks for that plan…I guess I could just use some girl support right now…).

It’s also easier to set things up so people feel empowered by giving you just what you need.

This goes about triple for our men. They REALLY REALLY want to help us. They have had their heads (and hearts!) bashed by women when they made a mistake.

You will get MORE empathy if you just make it easy and clear for those around you to confidently give you exactly what you need.

If you need more of one kind than the other, say so!

Empathy is about coming from the other person’s perspective, so set the stage for the direction you WANT your help to come from!

This is easy to do and easy not to do. And given my gender labeling, no one forgets which is which. Try it!

In Joy,

[Relationships] 7 Foolproof Steps to Healthy Empathy Inside – Series 3 of 4


How to Do Empathy Right

You now know WHAT is Empathy and WHY you want it. Now let’s show you 7 Foolproof Steps to Showing Healthy Empathy.

1. Observe

Notice someone you care about is upset and that Healthy Empathy (#1) is needed. Get ready to follow the process.

2. Listen & Ask

Listen to what they are saying and see how they are acting. ASK what is wrong to get THEIR view and THEIR details. 

3. Environment

Think about their environment. That means have they been happy? Down? Under pressure? Ill? The energy of their most recent circumstances carries Momentum.

You must not do anything without understanding where THEY ARE vs. where you think they should be.


EMPATHY (and Love) Validates People’s Feelings

4. Summary

Here you list out the feelings you’ve been told and have seen. Make sure you add in their environment. Tell them you can SEE how ALL of that mixed together has triggered them and…you can UNDERSTAND their reaction given all that.

That last bit is crucial. It’s the “you’re ok because I am not judging or condemning you” part. I can see the road you’ve walked and agree that your feelings are VALID.  (Note: Valid does not mean you approve of their choice, just that you can ‘follow’ how they arrived to their pain.)

EMPATHY (and Love) validates people’s feelings even if (and especially if) they are different from your own reactions. Love Requires Empathy (#2).

5. Feedback

Ask them how they feel now (after your did Steps 1-4).

If they don’t feel better or lift up high enough to be grateful for the empathy YOU AREN’T DONE YET (told you this was grown up stuff!). 

Redo the process starting at Step 1 until they are better. 


Unhealthy Empathy is Where You Climb Out of Your Good Boat

Sometimes you need to do the process separately for each of their different triggers(can be 2-3). Sometimes the trigger is just  too big to “clear” all at once. Make sense?

Once their feedback to you is “I’m better”, go to Step 6.

6. Ask If Ready For A Solution

Notice you have NOT even attempted to solve anything yet! And you are STILL not offering solutions and advice. 

Here is the teaching analogy I gave to my mate, who has boats. If my boat breaks down on the river and you motor up alongside me, you may want to immediately hop on board and fix my motor.

I don’t know you! And I don’t know if you’re qualified to fix my motor or if you understand how my motor works.

Do not just board a sinking ship with your hammer in your hand! You will scare me and I’ll feel threatened, not helped.

If you notice my boat is in distress (Step 1), you’d ask me what happened(Step 2). You’d listen and pay attention to our surroundings (Step 3). Am I close to home or are sharks nearby? 

You’d explain what I understand is going on (Step 4) and let me fully respond without jumping in (Step 5).

THEN you explain your credentials with my motor and ask if I want your help(Step 6).

7. Solution

Now you offer your solution. And if they don’t like it or use it, you are careful to not make this about YOU. They are on the broken boat at the moment, not you!

Unhealthy empathy is where you climb out of your good boat and let it drift off while you join them in the broken (state) boat. Do not do this! 

Do this and you will develop your empathy skillset and learn the glue that builds the deepest bonds of love. And do not “get efficient” and skip steps my beautiful Alphas!

In Joy,

 

P.S  I put on a favorite teacher of mine to set my energy for the day before I began a long day of packing. MOVERS THURSDAY FOR AUSTRALIA!

I picked a lesson at random. The first told a story involving moving! 🙂

In the second one, she spoke on empathy without using that word. Esther Hicks said: “You cannot be SAD enough to make a sad person happy…MEAN enough to make a mean person kind or POOR enough to make a poor person prosperous.” 

Healthy empathy ONLY Alphas.

[Relationships] 7 Foolproof Steps to Healthy Empathy Inside – Series 3 of 4 Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn StumbleUpon

[Relationships] Want LOVE? Get EMPATHY – Series 2 of 4


Empathy Is the Secret Sauce of Love

Empathy is not a sexy subject. It feels elusive. It is never discussed at dinner or been featured in a Hallmark movie. It IS however critical to the foundation of any strong, healthy relationship.

Let’s see why you want empathy IF you want love…

***You learned What is Empathy last week and next week we’ll see how you can show empathy without beating yourself up. 


Real Love is Acceptance

Think of your deepest loving relationship. If you don’t have one (I did not less than a decade ago) you can use one you’ve seen.

Love is not amazing when it flows to the champion, the beautiful, the confident and the rich. Love is amazing when it flows to the flawed, the overweight, the anxious and the works in progress.

Real love is feeling that YOU think how I AM is OK.

Empathy is you being able to voice that feeling, when I’m afraid and not at my best.

If you show me and I can HEAR and SEE you love me when I am my miserable, terrified failing self…ONLY THEN do I feel SAFE WITH YOUR LOVE.

With empathy your beloved feels you see them as they are, in their crazy & vulnerable moments, and YOU DO NOT CARE. They are accepted.


Empathy Binds Hearts Together

Want to know the moments, ladies, when men fall in love with us? When we are GIVING OR RECEIVING deep empathy with them. It is also when your children and your boss learn to really trust in you. And when you give this open-hearted, understanding to yourself, it is how you grow your OWN Self-Love.

Empathy is that big of a deal.

It says, beloved, I see you in pain and still I behold one whom I love. I understand your struggle, your fear, your lashing out, your worries. I see ALL of that and it’s OK because YOU ARE OK. I will not punish you.

That is LOVE. Now, with this view of love, re-read the popular bible verse known to many – you will see Love sees the truth and shows EMPATHY all through the verse…

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

When you can give and receive empathy, you become a conduit for love to flow: to you, from you and through you. That’s part of how I’ve attracted my happily ever after…

Can you feel my security in his love in the photo below? Empathy bonded us.

In Joy,

 

P.S  If you don’t have your WHY clear before you do something hard, your head will be able to sabotage it too easily. How are your empathy skills?To yourself? To others? Do you receive it? These truthful answers will tell you things you may not like, but need to know.

Alphas often downplay empathy because we’ve only ever seen it used as a bid for our attention by weak people. You have to go through a fair number of lessons to stand in their maelstrom and NOT TRIGGER. Meaning, healthy empathy is only done by strong people 🙂 Want Love? Get Empathy.

[Relationships] Want LOVE? Get EMPATHY – Series 2 of 4 Facebook Twitter Google+ LinkedIn StumbleUpon

[Relationships] What IS Empathy? Empathy Series 1 of 4


The Empathy Series – The Necessary Thing You Overlook

Why should you care about empathy?

Do you want great sex, rock solid support from a business partner or a bullet proof marriage? Ok. You need empathy for all those. 

It’s the unsung hero in all strong relationships (and yes, that includes business, family AND romantic relationships). Empathy creates deep trust.

And if YOU don’t know how to “do” empathy, the odds are very low you’re actually receiving healthy empathy either.

What IS Empathy?

Empathy is a way of giving another person the comforting certainty that their pain is understood while maintaining your own equilibrium.

Translation? Empathy makes a hurting person feel like their fear was justified WITHOUT you getting upset too.

There are 4 parts to giving healthy empathy:

A) You give comfort (I see your feelings)

B) You give certainty (I saw what happened)

C) They feel understood (They’re OK b/c YOU think their response is OK)

D) You feel helpful (You’ve given without harming/defending yourself)


The Empathy Series – The Necessary Thing You Overlook

Empathy is Not a SOLUTION. Men miss this more often than women. They want to hop to the solution because their despair and hurt feels terrible.

They want their mates to stop feeling terrible as soon as possible, so they want to solve it immediately. This skips the empathy phase, whichdeprives the relationship of the security needed to go deeper.

Empathy is also Not COMMISERATING. The empathy that you see on TV in a sitcom is what most of us know. One girl gets her heartbroken, so her best-friend cancels her plans.  They sit and binge eat ice cream andfeel miserable together.

That’s best termed “commiserating“ but it’s not healthy empathy. 

Think of a big sports game or any game where one side wins and the other side loses. The losing team fans commiserate with each other and talk about that “one bad call”. It makes them feel better that the other person saw exactly what they saw and that they ALL feel bad. Not healthy.

Unhealthy Empathy Often Looks Like This:

1) The person helping suffers WITH the sufferer,

2) The person helping prioritizes being forgiven/cleared of blame OVER sufferer’s feelings or

3) The person helping is AFRAID of the sufferer’s pain.

(I’ll show you how & why to avoid these later this month…)

Secret Sauce you don’t want to miss??

The empathizer keeps their emotions UP while they’re helping a person who is in fact, DOWN.

This is about leverage. If someone is on the floor and you come sit next to them, it is not possible for you to lift them up – you have lost your leverage.

A healthy relationship won’t call you disloyal when you won’t “get on the floor with them emotionally”, because they’ll see you lift them up more easily when you don’t.

You want HEALTHY EMPATHY.

In Joy,
