So, I've committed myself to reading 30 books before I turn
30.
I still have just over one year left... but, who's counting,
right?
I picked up the book "Loving What Is" written by Byron Katie.
The tagline of the book reads: "Four questions that will change
your life."
Can't be so bad... so, I dove right in. Chapter 1 was great! The
woman in question hates her husband and Byron Katie helps her work
through these four questions to help this woman realize she doesn't
actually hate her husband.
Chapter 2- my turn. Katie wants the readers to take out pen and
paper and write down one person, scenario, SOMETHING, that triggers
them. The best part? You're not even supposed to try and be
nice!
So, I whip open a blank page in my journal- pen in hand, and I'm
essentially foaming at the mouth for the opportunity to rip this
person in my life (who's been a HUGE trigger for me for a while
now) to SHREDS!
And, then it hits me. I slam my journal shut, throw it off the bed,
and shut the lights off. I know where this is going! And I'm not
going to do it!
But, if I'm so bothered by this person- constantly left feeling
angry, unworthy, doubted, and even hated- why is there so much
resistance to do the work in order to not be such a victim to her
anymore?
In this episode, I dive in to all of that and what it means.
But, there's a huge caveat. And I save that for part 2 of this
episode airing later this week :)
