What you feel no one will ever take away from you...

Do you remember?

We interact with others daily, we interact at work, work together and for each other, and in the home situation have at least (equally) many forms and interpretations of interactions.

How often do you find yourself not remembering what "yesterday" (or a recent or distant past) meant? You just can't remember, these moments are suddenly gone, recognizable?

I certainly do -lol- and I want to dive into this with you from a conviction that I have cherished for years, because it means so much to me and I love to share it with you!

People forget what you do, they also forget what you said and they will even forget who you are... but they will never forget the feeling you gave them.

You may not have seen someone for years, not even remember where you met, let alone other things related to this... but what you will remember is if this person gave you a certain feeling. And this can be either incredibly negative or positive, or just something remarkable. In all these cases, no one will ever take this feeling away from you.

I won't go into the issue for now around missing memories that extend over a period of time beyond a single moment, people sometimes call them "black outs". Why? Because this deserves much more attention than in the periphery of what I want to share with you now about 'giving that feeling' and this is essentially about something very different. I do mention it because you would possibly make associations with this and I prefer to avoid this or possibly you yourself experience such lack of memories and then I can imagine that this gives some interpretation when reading.

Connection as a foundation

So, as soon as you leave a real feeling you remain connected. I drew this conclusion a long time ago. So from this fact I look at interactions and I'd love diving further into this with you. Because if we see this together now, you won't be surprised by the fact that I firmly believe that this is essential and substantial. And we really need to look at connecting with each other as a foundation whether at work or outside of work. But tell me, how often do we do this? Really, not to mention do it consciously(er)....

It's all about the experience someone recalls and holds forever. Read that again.

Your gut feeling doesn't make thinking mistakes

Just this gut feeling and at extension those feelings really define all my life. More specifically, meanwhile I am very intuitive in life and dare to surrender to which connections I really feel and which ones give me a different "message".

But what about you? Do you recognize yourself in this? Or are you like: What?! Nah, I'm mostly going to think about that feeling and from my head I really switch? Who knows, maybe none of this even resonates and you are looking purely factually from your reality and consciously or unconsciously just trying to leave that gut feeling aside.

Everything is really fine, I just want to invite you to reflect on this for a moment. Now say for you, how and where do you recognize yourself above? Because this does have an impact. The more receptive you are to your "gut feeling" the more naturally you will be able to (un)consciously connect with others. The more you (prefer?) to dwell in your head the more challenging it can be for you to (really) connect. Beware, it does not mean that if you (try to) approach life rather cerebrally that you will not leave a "feeling" on others... Make no mistake about this. And also here, it is in the first place about awareness where I want to give you the self-reliance to dare to choose more consciously and then only (continue to) looking at this can already make a world of difference...

Awareness as power tool

Before we can do things otherwise, we must first learn to think differently. Just realizing that we often talk against one another instead of with one another makes a whole new dynamic possible. And this thanks to the space it can suddenly be given. We often do not listen in order to really understand and thus receive what we hear and consequently listen in order to react. More than often conversations go wrong on this. We do not talk to each other, sometimes it is beside and often it is against each other.

Allow yourself the space to gain insight. Why, you may ask yourself? Insight brings understanding because as soon as you can stand in that way with someone you are (un)consciously connecting. And yes, that's where the magic happens. YAY
