Putting Down the Welcoming Mat
When was the last time you had an unexpected guest? These guests can show up in the form of difficult clients, changes in partners or spouses, unexpected health issues or painfully bad news.
What I am discovering in my own life is when I experience these challenges, the least resistance I have to what has happened or what is happening, the less painful the encounter.
I’m not saying it’s easy. It most often isn’t. Yet, when I move towards acceptance rather than a place of defence, I seem to have greater capacity to manage the situation at hand, face my fears and make better decisions.
What is your strategy to face those unexpected guests that show up in your life?
