Quick Question: What conversations am I avoiding?
Quick Question
Here is today's quick question for you...What conversations am I avoiding?
The conversations we avoid are often the key to our biggest breakthroughs. Whether it's feedback we need to give, help we need, or an undeniable truth we need to acknowledge, the impact of consistent avoidance compounds over time and consumes disproportionate headspace at the same time.
Ask it when you're...
Sensing unresolved tension - When relationships feel strained, there's usually something unspoken to be aired.
Feeling isolated - Protecting others from your doubts and challenges can leave you carrying burdens that could benefit from being shared.
Noticing patterns of frustration - When issues surface repeatedly, it's often because the deeper conversation about expectations, boundaries, or values is being pushed to the bottom of the pile.
