How do we show up to get unstuck?

 
 

“It takes only one person to step outside of the dynamic with their partner to make a change in the relationship.”    Jennie Estes Powell & Jacqueline Wielick 

One of the most significant challenges in fostering change within "stuck" relationships is understanding that altering another person is beyond one's control. Despite our desires, the truth is that each individual bears responsibility for their actions. This realization can be difficult to accept, especially when it is evident that the relationship would markedly improve if only the partner made a few adjustments.

My book club just finished reading Mel Robbins new book, “Let Them.”

The basic idea is, just as I said above, we allow others to be just exactly who they are. The second part of the formula is “let me” and that is where we get to decide what kind of person WE want to be. Kind? Critical? Accepting? Judgmental? All these options are available, and we get to decide how we want to show up in our world

“In a secure relationship, each partner shows up as their best self, not as a way to get something in return, but out of love and the desire to connect.” Julie Menanno

The first step is to focus on how you’re showing up. While you can’t control your partner’s actions, you do have control over how you show up in the relationship.

Creating change in relationships isn’t about fixing your partner; it’s about creating a secure, loving partnership by bringing your best self to the table.
