the desire for affirmative resolution. • knowing your core values (who you really are – your guiding lights) and trusting yourself to learn them, own them and utilize them consistently for a healthy purpose and outcome. • taking time to identify healthy and safe boundaries and real- izing your dreams and visions.
Making a list of issues, people and things that you wish you had previously dealt with can be very helpful. This list would in- clude how you felt about yourself for previously withholding what needed to be appropriately dealt with (at that time). Making a list of the benefits you would have received had you dealt with them at that time can also be empowering. I encourage you to begin to subconsciously play these ben-
efits over in your mind’s eye (like you are daydreaming about this; as if it is in a movie format). As you do this, be sure to notice how good it feels to wear the shield of confidence in each movie scene (situation) and then plan and expect that it will happen in future circumstances when needed. (Keep in mind, the subconscious mind does NOT know the difference between what is real or imaginary.) Remember, you can’t control how the other person reacts during any conversation, however with compassion and respect intentionally given, you will have done your best. In your mental movie: • Start with imagining “that someone” is a person you are close to or love. Envision you are looking for a win-win outcome. Picture or imagine YOU in a situation where you are speaking essential words with authority and consideration for the other person. Beneficial mental rehearsal can be very valuable. Re- member, you do have strong courage within, it is waiting for you to access it when needed; it is there for you to rely on. The more you use it the more reinforced it becomes. • Practice, practice, and continue to practice! You will discover with repetition, you will soon be much more comfortable with a new approach to dealing with issues and reaching ideal ou-

comes. So that we can find even greater inner balance, let’s look at
how we can obtain greater emotional growth via our being con- fronted by others. One of the hardest things for many of us is to learn to have the courage to be confronted, without feeling like we have been attacked. It requires the courage to be vulnerable. For many of us throughout our life time, we erected barriers and walls as protection from others' criticism of us. As with confronting others, know that with an openness to hear the other person’s view of how your words, actions or behavior has affected them or the situation, you can develop a growth level of divine maturity. When we become defensive, we set ourselves up (and the situation) for an outcome of resistance. Challenging ourselves to own a readiness to put down our defenses, promotes a healthy balance, a mutual understanding and harmony for a win-win probable situation. Yes, confrontation can be painful at times, however, it can
beneficially help us to go to the depths of our soul and problem. Learn from identifying unhealthy behaviors and patterns. We get to forgive and be forgiven, repair disconnected relationships and mold vital and desirable future interactions. We can also reframe and expand beneficial thinking and our behaviors as well as, have the opportunity to win our battle with “The Shadow”. Fundamen- tally we get to discover the joy of walking in our courage and all that is to come into our lives.
